Hello there and welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Release Blog Hop! Hero Arts are releasing a plethora of new products today as part of the Oh Joy release, including new stamps, dies, foil plates, mediums and much more!
PLEASE
NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full
disclosure.
For my projects today, I was heavily inspired by
Laura Bassen and her great skill with both colour and paper/cardstock strips. So I used them as a base for my other elements.
The strips were adhered to a 3.5" x 4.75" panel of white cardstock and the excess cut off the sides. The trees were then adhered on top using
Hero Arts Precision Glue. The panel was then in turn adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape.
I blended
Sand,
Cup O' Joe and
Espresso Core Inks onto the pine cones. I added the same cardstock strips to a 3.5" x 4.75" panel of white cardstock and then adhered the foliage on top using
Hero Arts Precision Glue. The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape.
I adhered the pine cones on top using a combination of thin foam tape (at the tips) and Precision Glue (at the bottoms). The sentiment from the
Hero Arts Christmas Sentiment Strips set that I stamped for the first card was adhered on top with more thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few white gel pen dots.
As mentioned, this post is part of a fun, inspirational blog hop (with prizes!). For the hop, you should have arrived here from
