Welcome to the first of our October’s winners posts. And what a post it is! We’ve had hundreds of beautiful entries, and have narrowed them down to this fabulous selection of cards. What a feast for the eyes…

Our Fresh Face for this month is Iwona Palamountain. Her adorable holiday card features stamps from our Christmas Reindeer set. What a perfectly designed card with amazingly professional coloring. We just love it!

Our Digital winner is paintingeyedoc (Trinh) who used one of our sketches and our Monster Party digikit to create this fun birthday card. What a perfect creation for a little boy.

And now onto our Fab Five, five of our favorite projects, presented in no particular order. Just like our Fresh Face and Digital winners, every member of the Fab Five will receive a $50 Hero Arts shopping spree.

First, ChristineKartenchaos with this fabulous Christmas card. She has used non holiday stamps in SUCH a clever way… not just those sweet owls, but also those wonderful wooly hats, made out of… sheep’s bottoms! GENIUS!

Next, swanlady21 * Janet, who also used a non-holiday stamp in a brilliant way. By stamping the half circle from Flourish Grids twice, she was able to create the look of an elegant Christmas ornament. Beautifully done!

Jdaydesigns used our Starburst Lace stamp to create this fabulous Christmas wreath card. What a clever and unique way to use this stamp. We were also inspired by Julie’s fabulous masked Christmas tree design, which you can see here.

We love this happy holiday card by momi0314. The snowman from Wonderful Christmas looks so happy sitting on this stylish card.  The mix of patterns works beautifully…

And finally, Virginia L who has used the International Skyline stamp to create this beautiful holiday card. Such stunning inking and clever Liquid Pearls snowflakes. Gorgeous!
