Hero Arts Stamp Your Story Blog Hop!
Hi Everyone! Welcome to my stop on the Hop! You have to know that I'm absolutely thrilled about Stamp Your Story. The abundance of product in this Spring release is Hero Arts largest yet! There is something for everyone... cardmakers, scrappers and even those who would like to dabble in art journals.
We all have a story to tell... now we have a way of putting it on paper.

The Stamp Your Story digital catalog can be viewed here. SYS products are currently shipping to retail stores around the world. All SYS products will be coming to the Hero Arts Online Store on May 15th.
I wanted to keep things somewhat simple but with maximum impact. I've used the new Ink daubers... in different combinations so you can see the colors... DREAMY!
This First card features the Pale Tomato, Butter Bar, Wet Cement and Cup O'Joe combination.
I dabbed the ink daubers onto the stamps, misted with water and stamped on regular white cardstock.
And next up is Tide Pool, Field Greens, Butter Bar and Wet Cement...gahh!!!
I've used a Cup O'Joe ink pad for my greeting.
This new collection makes it so easy for anyone to create art... from complex to simple. With the ink daubers, adding color to stamps has never been easier! Also, we have a new contest format and way of entering your submissions. You can find all the details here. I can't wait to see what you all come up with when you get these amazing stamps and inks in your hands.
That's it for me... now it's time for you to hop along to the amazing and talented
Lisa Spangler.

Delicious... aren't they? Now I've got to tell you... The circle thingys in the background are the same color as the house, they are "fresher" so haven't quite lightened up yet.
For now I'll hold you hostage to my favorite combination. I've used Tide Pool, Wet Cement and Cup O'Joe.
See the grid in the background??? It's a Hero Arts STENCIL!!!!
Fun stuff... something for everyone!
So now for the GIVEAWAY part... I have an extra fabulous background stamp "Painted Canvas" that seems to have come home with me from my recent class.

Mother's Day Card Share
So I was playing around with my Simon Say May kit and came up with an idea. There is this really great vellum in the kit. It is heavy and great for embossing. I thought to myself... what would happen if I suspended the vellum with pattern papers and let it sit up from the card base... well here it is!
The papers are delicious too... some pink, some golden yellow... yummers!
Oh and the chipboard hearts too!
This is a really quick card to make, the sketch design is simple. I cut the vellum wide and attached it under each of the pattern papers.
Hope everyone is have a great Monday!!!
Enjoy!

I love the Remember, Brush Strokes and My Notebook cling sets! I also love the Texture and Shape, the Paint Print and the Brushed Flowers woodblock stamps!
And I'm so glad Hero Arts is offering stencils now too, Shari! After watching your amazing videos of art journaling, I have been slowly gathering supplies to give it a try. I think it would be fun to begin this new adventure of mixed media on a smaller scale like a card, and these new products and stamps are perfect for it!
Thanks for the chance to win a new stamp! :)
