More Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks + Giveaway

Welcome back to our 2021 Holiday Catalog sneak peek party! The good news: just one day stands between you and the availability of all of these wonderful new holiday products. If you were waiting for the bad news, the only thing we can come up with is that it feels a bit too warm for hot chocolate at the moment. 😉 So grab your beverage of choice and enjoy a few minutes of downtime, more sneak peeks, and another giveaway at the end of this post!

How about these beauties in blue...

The gorgeous sequin-filled shaker card features the new Color Layering Snowflake (CM554) clear set, which includes solid snowflake stamps in a variety of sizes that you can layer, either stamped or die-cut with the coordinating Frame Cuts. Of course the snowflakes also stand alone beautifully and make unique backgrounds when combined in different ways. This is one set that will take you all the way through the Winter months with no shortage of new ideas.

Our designers have heard your requests for nativity scenes and created the spectacular Nativity Cover Plate (DI930), showcased on the center card. Whether you pair this lovely silhouette cut-out with an ink blended background, solid cardstock, or any other coloring technique, it's sure to shine and be the star of your design. You'll find a new Nativity Stencil in the catalog as well.

Let it snow and celebrate the season with the Large Snowflakes and Swirls (DI915) dies featured on the third card! This graphic five-piece die set includes small, medium and large snowflakes along with two swirls that add a sense of movement. And the sparkling sentiment on this gorgeous card? It comes from the Christmas Holidays Stamp & Cut XL (DC288), an all-in-one set that's sure to become a go-to for quickly creating merry greetings galore. You can mix the generously-sized die cut sentiments with complementary clear stamps and find just the right words to convey your warm holiday wishes. We would be remiss if we didn't mention the sparkle – say hello to new Hero Arts Glitter Papers! Non-shedding, brilliant, glittering goodness awaits.

Now it's time for our final festive preview...

We are excited to introduce new stencils and clear stamps that are designed to work together to create ornaments filled with detail and color. The Holiday Ornaments (CM553) clear stamp set includes five ornaments along with four messages, and is an ideal choice for stampers who love to color. Want to take it to another level? Combine the stamps with our two new ornament layering stencils and make those designs pop. Adding color and precise definition just got easier! Coordinating ornament dies are also available.

GIVEAWAY TIME!  Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $25 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Sunday, August 22 at 11:59pm PT.
