Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!
Hello and welcome! We are thrilled to share our fabulous new Oh Joy 2023 Holiday Catalog with you today! It's launching in our online store, and at participating retailers. The release is packed full of new stamps, dies, stencils, hot foil plates, rub-ons, sprays, lacquer pens, embossing powders and more! At the bottom of this post you're invited to join our blog hop, where our Creative Team, Global Team and several talented friends are sharing creations made with this release. But first, a little inspiration from our artists!
For a quick and easy look at the new products, we recommend you spend a few minutes with our overview video. Set to music, it walks you through the new goodies with product images and beautiful card samples from our team. You can also watch it on YouTube.
In addition to all of these wonderful new products, we're excited to announce our next Stamp-Along event! This virtual event will occur November 4 & 5, 2023. Check out our amazing lineup of teachers this time! There is also an optional product bundle available, at more than a 10% savings!
Now let's look at a little release inspiration from our artist, Kelly Rasmussen:
Cover Plate dies are such a versatile product to invest in and the new Tree Pattern Cover Plate does not disappoint! I've used both the negative and positive pieces to create a card and coordinating tag.
For the card, I inked-blended a panel of white cardstock with Kiwi, Fresh Lawn, and Field Greens Inks from top to bottom. Then I die-cut the panel with the Tree Pattern Cover Plate and lightly misted it with the Green + Shimmer Tone-on-Tone Metallic Spray. I just love how the metallic spray looks on top of the Kiwi ink!!
I adhered the tree panel to a white card base that was stamped with the Jingle Bells Script Bold Prints. This delicate scripty background is so beautiful and is perfect for adding some interest without being too overpowering.
The sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment Strips stamp set -- a must-have set full of 42 holiday messages! I placed the sentiment on a red decorative border made with the Detail Edge Fancy Dies. These dies can be used alone or layered together, like I did, to create fun borders.
With so many beautiful leftover pieces laying on my desk, I decided to make a coordinating tag using the Arches Infinity Dies. Such a fun way to use up some scraps that might otherwise get thrown away.
And now it's time to hop! Visit all of these amazing artists for inspiration and ideas for using the new holiday products. We'll be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Thursday, August 31st at 11:59pm to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.

Such a fun hop! I have to say the Peeking Snowman is a fav of mine. Such a clever idea to have several peeking dies. I like the candy cane die set also. Thanks for sharing all the great ideas.

I just love the poinsettia frame and stencils. I watched Jennifer McGuire’s video and thought her technique using the paste and gold made this frame look so retro (which I’m crazy about)! I liked your video showing the products- makes everything so festive!
