Hey everyone. Today is the day. The Hero Arts Spring 2021 Catalog is here. I’m thrilled to share sample cards from products from the release. We also have some additions to the Unity Collection that are just beautiful. To celebrate the release we are having a blog hop.
My first card is featuring the Flower Power stamp from Hero Arts, Pocono Pam and myself. This stamp is a layering stamp were you can stamp that really packs a punch. It also have an outline layer for the flowers which you can color in with any medium. I love the design of this stamp and I hope you do too.
For my second card I’m sharing the Hello There die and stamp set. I’m a HUGE fan of mixing fonts for sentiments so this is a perfect win for me. I die cut out the hello there and heat embossed it several times in gold embossing powder. The thickness of doing this really turns the sentiment into a think embellishment. A simple smaller sentiment below really is all I need for this clean and simple card.
And for my last card. I mean during the current state of affairs we really need to stay strong and focused. The Stay Strong Anchor stamp and cut is perfect. This simple yet beautiful small set can be the focal point of your card without a lot of fuss. I kept my card on the masculine side to show that this set is very gender neutral. Paring it with the Sea and Sky stencil allowed for a little it of movement in the card without taking away from the focal point.

Have a great day everyone and see you back here soon.
![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!
