Hero Arts 2013 Catalog Blog Hop



Welcome to the second day of the Hero Arts 2013 Catalog Blog Hop, featuring fabulous stamps from the new 2013 release!  I am so excited to be part of this Hop with my Hero Arts Hostess Sisters!  If you’ve been following along, you’ve just arrived from fabulous Robin's blog!  If  you want to start blog-hopping from the beginning, go to the Hero Arts blog.

Hero Arts will be awarding prizes from randomly drawn comments. For a chance to win, simply comment on ANY of the stops along the hop on ANY day, including each day’s starting post at the Hero Club Blog. The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning! 

If you find a broken link (stuff happens, you know!) you'll find a master list of the hop links at the Hero Club Blog. Also, please report broken links to Tami.
Here's my first card:



Birthday Delivery
   I used the new wood block stamp "Birthday Delivery", substituting the birthday signboard for the altered label from "Love Jar".  Don't be afraid to cut up those clear stamps; you can put the pieces back together if needed.  The "Map of America" cling stamp background  has been stamped in white on kraft and embossed with white.  That highway?  Washi tape!!  Don't you love it?
 
100_4965
It was love at first sight when I saw this Happy Birthday set!  It was designed with Operation Write Home in mind.  This card tends to be more masculine, but change up the colors and background and it will work for any gender, any age.  I have paper pieced the balloon and distressed the
Map of America background.  I love the stitched clouds and the set includes other  sentiments and images that you can use for any occasion!

100_4926
 I've used the new "Love Jar" set for this card.  The flower stamps in this set create  a solid image, but for this card I wanted to make it look like an outline stamp, so I used a Copic multiliner pen to trace around the petals, stems and leaves.   I did a bit of masking around the jar top to make the stems appear to be in the jar.  The pink hearts are punch outs.  Once again, I didn't use the label that came with this set, instead using the "Sending Love" stamp. 
 

The glare you see here is the shine from the "jar" I created from a sheet of acetate to contain the hearts and make the jar appear real.

On this card, I "branched out" and used the leafy stem as a branch from which I hung "precious hearts" diecuts from Memory Box.  This branch can be the place to hang birdhouses, Christmas ornaments, or other seasonal objects.  

That's it for me!  I've enjoyed this reunion with my Hostess Sisters!  To celebrate, I will draw a name at random on Saturday from the comments left here to receive an assortment of stamping goodies!
 
• Your next stop on the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop is the wonderfully gifted, kind and caring Nancy at Happy Hearts Studio.
