Hey Artie!! Hero Arts and the new 2021 Holiday Catalog are coming to you today via a huge blog hop. You must have seen some of the previews on the HA blog and instagram this week, but you haven’t seen what all of my friends and I have done with the newest items in this catalog.

Be sure to leave a comment on each stop in this hop for a chance to win one of three $50 shopping sprees to heroarts.com.

Card #1 Looking Glass Snowflakes Card

To create this card…

1. First, I die cut the Looking Glass Ornaments three times each piece — once on the front of the card base and twice out of A2 panels. One of the panels is Coral Cardstock the rest is Dove White Cardstock

2. Then, I layered them with Precision Glue.

3. Next, I created a sentiment strip with Pitch Black Cardstock, White Detail Embossing Powder, Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and a sentiment from the Christmas Holidays Stamp & Cut XL.

4. Then, I popped it up on the front of the card with foam tape.

5. Finally, I added some Sparkle Lacquer Pen to some of the snowflakes for some bling!! (cue applause).

Card #2 Stencil Me Some Cozy

1. To create this card, I stenciled the Poinsettia Pattern Stencil over some Cherry Cardstock with Unicorn White Pigment Ink. This stencil layers, so you turn it a few times to get the look you want.

2. Next, I trimmed my panel down a 1/4” on all sides and popped it up on the front of a Sand Side-Folding Card with foam tape.

3. Then, I added some accents to the front with a white gel pen.

4. Next, I created a sentiment strip with Pitch Black Cardstock, White Detail Embossing Powder, Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and a sentiment from the Christmas Holidays Stamp & Cut XL.

5. To finish off the card, I popped up the sentiment on foam tape and added some Icicle Sequins to the front with Precision Glue.

Card #3 Looking Glass Ornaments Card

For my third card, I used the DI883 Looking Glass Ornaments to create a CAS card.

1. First, I die cut thee three windows out of Dove White Cardstock using each of the Looking Glass Ornaments dies.

2. Then, I heat embossed the ornaments in Gold Glitter and Silver Sparkle Embossing Powders.

3. Next, I stacked the panels with Precision Glue and backed them all with a piece of Pitch Black Cardstock.

4. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Merry Snowmen Stamp Set on the front with Intense Black Ink.

I have several other cards I created with this release. Stay tuned to the blog for more from the catalog. You can also keep an eye on my Instagram grid here: instagram.com/delandartie.
