The Hero Arts Summer Catalog is out today and I’m happy to be part of a fun blog hop to celebrate! My card features a beautiful Color Layering Summer Blooms Stencils and Luggage Lowercase Alphabet Fancy Dies.

Layering stencils make adding color so easy!

Plus, having an alpa die set means you can create any greeting you like! Here is my video showing how I created this card project:

I watched your video on You Tube and didn’t realize it was a Blog Hop until just now! I started watching it on my phone when I was out of town today, then finished it when I got home. Love how it turned out! (And, Yes, I gave it a THUMBS UP!)
