Hero Arts Winter Catalog Blog Hop + Video Tutorial + Giveaway

August 23, 2017

Hero Arts Winter Catalog Blog Hop + Video Tutorial + Giveaway

cathyzielske.com
Today I’m excited to be part of the Hero Arts 2017 Wintertime Fun Catalog Blog Hop! I made a very bold, graphic holiday card and it is actually pretty simple once you get past all the foam adhesive!


The two new Hero Arts products I used for my card are the Poster Christmas Carol stamps and the 12-point Infinity Stars. The Poster Carol set would be so great for all kinds of holiday cards and envelopes! I love the simple sans serif type on this stamp set. Makes me wish I’d designed it!

cathyzielske.com
I really do strive to bring a clean and simple nature to the cards that I’m making and this card fits that bill!

Here’s a short video showing you how I made it!

THE GIVEAWAY: Hero ares will be giving away three $25 shopping sprees drawn from comments left across all the blogs in the hop! Please leave your comment by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. PT and the winners will be announced next week!


The next stop in the hop is the talented Wanda Guess! So click on over to check out her GORGEOUS card! To start at the beginning of the hop, visit the Hero Blog.

I too love the font of this Christmas Carols set, I’m hoping Hero Arts will bring out another such set with more of the faith-based Christmas Carols as a part deux next year–love the carols in this one but would like more and ones I’d use in my faith-based cards. Such beauty in this star, I’m blown away!
