Welcome to the second day of the Hero Arts 2012 Catalog Blog Hop featuring the Hero Hostesses! The blog lasts all week, so be sure to check out the inspiration every day. If you arrived here from Tiffany's blog, It's the Stuff I Love, then you are in the right place! If not, be sure to visit her blog first and then come back!
I am so happy to be a part of the Hero Arts new release blog hop with my Hero Hostess alumnae! I had so much fun playing with the new stamps in the Hero Arts 2012 catalog that I had to share four cards I made.
This cling stamp is perfect for making quick cards for so many occasions! I experimented with various inks and colors and every combination was lovely! The reverse of this stamp looks like a photo engraving and provides the detail. Yes, this entire image is just one stamp!
This is a 5" x 7" card which gave me more room to showcase these wonderful masculine images! The Flying Airship image was masked when I stamped the Watch Gears image, resulting in this collage. The balloon and basket are paper-pieced. Added a touch of Copic marker to the watch images and some spirally wire to the tag.
CG421Watch Gears; G5544 Vintage Car; CL351Friends
For some reason, I think of the movie "Back to the Future" when I see this card! Love that Vintage Car! I stamped the Watch Gear image twice on this 5x7 card and added the car that was stamped, embossed and cut out from separate black cardstock. I'm ready for another masculine birthday!
Finally, back to the feminine side! In order to place the sentiment as it is, I had to cut the clear stamp apart! Hard to do with a brand new stamp set! The embossed background is a Cuttlebug folder which I think adds the right amount of texture. This will be a great set to use for thank you's and "thinking of you" cards.

This blog hop is going to be the death of me.. all these stamps I need and no money for them!! I really like the Hello Flower, I must get that one. I really like all the cards Judy. Your artwork is amazing.
Wonderful cards. I especially love the first card - the stamp, the colors, the stitching. Very nice.
These cards are just gorgeous! The ladies cards are so pretty and I love the colours you have used. I love what you have done with the masculine cards. The masking of the Flying Airship is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your creations with us.
Stunning cards Judy. I love the darker colored card that looks more masculine.
I can't believe that you had the patience to sew all of those. I really love the dark background too, it makes it such a solid looking card. Absolutely great work, thanks for sharing!
I love your one stamp card. It does look engraved. Thank you so much for sharing!
i loved your cards.. very pretty and I have the embossing folder used in the last card. I was just thinking i need to grab that and use it today.. thanks for the reminder of treasures unused..
WOW! Great inspiration here - thank you!

I love, love, LOVE these cards! The hello flower stamp is just BEAUTIFUL! It really looks like you masked and then stamped again but it's the stamp. I just looks beautiful in a neutral palette. Really, I can't pick a favorite! Thanks!!
I love your use of those gear stamps especially with your vintage car creation. The red gems really make it eye-catching & isn't it just ideal for a non-cute male card? Terrific.
Paula (PEP)
Wonderful cards. Great details and colors. Thanks.
