Winter Catalog Sneak Peek #3 + Giveaway

Hero Arts

Hi stampers! We're just two days away from the full reveal of our 2020 Winter Catalog and have another sneak peek in store for you today. How about something bold - a Bold Prints background cling stamp, that is!

Card created by Janette Kausen

Isn't Janette's card a gorgeous introduction to the new Christmas Rose Bold Prints (CG815)? This 6" x 6" red rubber beauty is the perfect starting point for your holiday cards and lends itself to countless techniques. Think embossing, emboss-resist, colored pencils, watercolors, markers, tone-on-tone stamping...the list goes on! We've added two more new Bold Prints backgrounds to the collection as well - look for Bare Branched Tree and Snowflake Swirl in the catalog on Friday. 

Also featured on Janette's card is an embossed greeting from Comfort and Joy Messages (CM468), a new 4" x 6" clear set that's filled with nine merry messages. This is one of those staple sets that you'll be able to turn to again and again to send good tidings for Christmas and throughout the holiday season.

GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $20 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Sunday, August 16 at 11:59pm PT.

Thanks for stopping by. We look forward to sharing another sneak peek with you tomorrow. See you then!
