Hello!
I am *so* very excited to be a part of the Hero Arts Stamp Your Story Blog Hop! I just love new stamps.
This new collection is very on trend and is perfect for stamping, cardmaking, and journaling. Faux painting… maps… geometric shapes… lots of good stuff. There are 43 new stamps and 27 new tools and accessories, such as stencils, dies, mint and peach ink colors, a notecard pad, and ink in a NEW Dauber format. Lots of good stuff! (Products are currently being shipped to stores around the world and will be in the Hero Arts Online Store on 5/15. Simon Says Stamps has many of the products already in HERE.)
I picked a few of the new clear sets to play with…
I am giddy about the many faux-painting stamps. It gives you the look of hand painting without the effort. Just stamp!
It is fun to be able to piece together your own greeting. Works great for many projects.
And a bit of shine is always nice, right? Really loving my the Wink of Stella brush/markers. It goes one smoothly and easily and you can get detailed areas or bigger ones. A great must-have! (I used clear but it comes in silver, gold, black and colors.)
I already shot a few more videos with other new stamps. Stay tuned!
By the way, there is a Stamp Your Story contest going on over on the Hero Arts Blog. For more information, head HERE.
I am the last stop on the blog hop! To start over, head to the Hero Arts Blog HERE. And there are giveaways! Just leave a comment here and at all the other blog hop stops for your chance to win some new goodies!

YAY! Not much makes me happier than new stamps. What a way to brighten a week.
Hero Arts has a ton of new stamps as part of their “Stamp Your Story“ release. These stamps are very unique and so very on trend…
To see all the new stamps, head HERE. I’d love to hear what your favorites are! Mine? I LOVE the painted stamps. That way I can stamp brush strokes, paint splatter, “painted” circles, etc… and make it look like I painted them by hand. Sweet! (Remember: cheating is acceptable in crafting.) And so many of these stamps are perfect for techniques.
I will be sharing a lot with these over the next few weeks. And Friday? We have a blog hop celebrating them!
Again, I would love to hear what your favorites are. Share below!
See you soon.
Sometimes you just have to play.
Like when I got this month’s Studio Calico kit with an exclusive stamp set from Lawn Fawn. It has the cutest heart and rays… making me want to play right away…
And that “hello sunshine” piece? It is wood veneer from the kit, just colored black. All the papers are from the kit, too…
Quick and easy to put together. That is the joy of kits! (For more information on SC kits, go HERE.)
Is it sunny where you are? Hope so…

Hey there, stampers.
You have heard me say many times that I think Distress Inks are amazing. Well, here is just one more bit of proof.
Creating this flower? Easy with Distress Inks…
I simply inked the awesome Hero Arts flower stamp with my favorite Distress Ink colors (Peacock Feather and Mowed Lawn) and stamped it on watercolor paper. (I did not mist the stamp first.) The image isn’t the greatest at this point, but never fear! Just use water and a brush over it. The water reacts with the ink and it moves – instantly acting like a watercolor (but so much better). It blends so easily and perfectly. I then pressed some Faded Jeans and Peeled Paint Distress Inks onto my craft sheet and used a wet brush to pick up color and add a bit of depth to the image. After letting it dry, I used markers to add dots to the center of the flower…
It looks hand painted! But I couldn’t paint something that good to save my life. LOL. Thank goodness for Distress Inks and awesome stamps! (Maybe I should do a video showing this technique? Hmmm…)
For more info, head over to the Hero Arts Blog. Oh, and they are giving lots of peeks at the new stamps coming out soon. Be sure to check them out.

Hello! I am back with more fun using the wood paper… along with colored wood embellishments and a window card design. Watch and see…
I was inspired to die cut windows from some awesome wood paper after seeing a card my fab friend Kathy Racoosin did at a retreat a couple weeks ago. (Be sure to go see her card HERE – it is very clever! She is the master of looking at products differently and creatively. She turned this die and wood paper combo into a cruise ship!) These windows are quick to do with the three-square die from Simon Says Stamp. (This is so much faster than trying to line up individual dies or punching them!) That wood paper is awesome…
I then added some wood embellishments that I colored with markers. Theses wood icons are from Prima and the sets are incredible – lots of variety for a good price. Must haves.
The greeting is from one of my favorite Hero Arts sets. Love the look of white on that wood paper.
Again, be sure to head over to Kathy’s blog to see what she created. It is fabulous, just like her!
