2011 Catalog Blog Hop -- Day 4


Hello, and welcome to Day 4 of Hero Arts' 2011 Catalog blog hop, featuring former Hero Arts hostesses! I'm so honored to be a part of this fun hop, and I'm sure you'll find lots of inspiration this week.

If you arrived from Linda's fabulous blog, you're on the right track. If not, start at the Hero Arts blog, and don't forget to leave comments along the way to win Hero Arts 2011 catalog stamps!

Note: If you do find a broken link, you can always go back to the Hero Arts blog for the master list of blog links. Also, please email tami@heroarts.com and provide the blog address that has the bad link so we can fix it. Thanks!

Now, on to my cards...

My first card uses the new stamp set called Going (CL478). I like that Hero Arts came out with some masculine images, and the cars and motorcycles are perfect for the guy(s) in your life.


I stamped the car and masked the image, then overstamped with the new Envelope Pattern Design Block (S5507) in Walnut Stain distress ink.




After coloring the image with Copics, I couldn't resist going over the entire car with Glossy Accents. I love how the car looks like a shiny sticker.




My next card uses Delicate Leaf Clusters (CL477). I clear embossed the leaves and ink distressed with Wild Honey distress ink, then overstamped with Thank You Definition (CG268) in Vintage Photo distress ink.

After assembling the images on pop dots, I stamped the sentiment from this set in Papertrey Ink's Vintage Cream. Since the cardstock is textured, I embossed the sentiment to make it a little easier to read.




And lastly, this card is a twist on an earlier one that I shared using Dancing With Flowers (CG266). This time, I used kraft cardstock and Papertrey Ink's Vintage Cream ink so the silhouette image has a "ghostly" look.

I added some mini pink pearls for just a touch of color, and a bit of Hero Arts lace for a vintage look.


That wraps it up for me! Thanks so much for hopping by. I'll send you on your way to Sarah's blog, for more Hero Arts goodness. Stay tuned tomorrow for the fifth and final day of the blog hop which will start at Deborah's blog.

Happy Hoppin'!

    What a lovely variety of styles you brought us, Donna! I swear those leaves look like you cut them out and glued them OVER the text; you achieved magic with that one. Love that we have more masculine images with the cars set, and of course the feminine Dancing card is at the other end of the spectrum. Wonderful post today!

    Three amazing but different cards. I do enjoy the masculine/car card. Guy cards are so hard to make.

    I love that subtle ink you used. Very elegant. I also am going to have to get that envelope background that I thought nobody would want when I first saw it. I have seen some gorgeous stuff with it!!!

    Donna these cards are amazing. I love the masculine card. I find it difficult to make these kinds of cards and I am so happyh that HA provided these stamps. Next on my purchase list. And the flower stamped squares with the THank You text is so elegant. I want that Thank You stamp too. Lol. Yes, I want them all. But I would have to say that I am over the moon for your last card. I love those kids dancing along bring cheer to whomever receives the card. I love the ghost like effect that your stamping gives on the kraft paper. Amazing job sweetie. THanks for being here and for inspiring. Hugs.
