Seasons Givings Blog Hop

Hero Arts

Hello and Happy New Year! Today we are honored to join a huge annual blog hop, a concept started by Latisha Yoast to say "THANK YOU!" to our wonderful blog readers and share some extra goodies. Be sure to scroll down to the end of this post for the giveaway info, as well as the list of companies and bloggers participating. Every single blog along this hop is sharing a giveaway! You won't want to miss it!

But first, Ilina is here to share a little New Year's cheer with you! Take it away, Ilina!

Hi everyone, Happy New 2019!!! This is Ilina and in the spirit of the new year I am sharing an elegant (black and gold) New Year's day card featuring the Party Confetti Fancy Die along with the Wishes Stamp & Cut set.

To make the card I started with die cutting the Party Confetti Fancy Die from shimmery black card stock and set it aside. Next I die cut the Wishes sentiment from the Stamp & Cut set. I did this twice from gold card stock and adhered the die cuts together. 

Next on piece of vellum I stamped "Sending New Year's" with Versamark and embossed with Gold embossing powder. Using the Circle Infinity Dies I die cut a circle. Adhered the "Wishes" die cut to the vellum circle and let it dry.

In the meantime I adhered the black die cut to a gold top folding note card. Adhered the vellum circle, trimmed the side a little and added few Champagne sequins to finish the card off.

For our giveaway, we're offering all of the products Ilina used on today's card! That's a prize package valued at $86 retail! To enter, let us know your goal for the coming year. You have until Friday, January 4 at 11:59pm PST to enter, and we'll announce the winner the following week.

And now for the hop list - it's a long one, but full of fabulous giveaways! Have fun hopping along!

Fabulous new years card!

Secondly – stretch myself out and do more mixed media work – especially as that collection of found elements I have have been picking up is building to an alarming degree!

My intention, or goal, for 2019 is to explore more COLORFUL stamping. Usually my cards are traditional colors and safe subtle colors. I have admired many cards with mixed media background and wish to get more INTO these beauties. Alcohol ink, gelly press and using my new to me, Derwent Inktense Pencils. I love the large one word die cuts and those backgrounds are so much fun together. I do really really like Ilinas black and gold, simple, elegant and so FUN! Gail T.

Hi there. What a stunning black and gold card – you’re right, it is very elegant and yet fun as well. Thanks for sharing that with us.
My goals for this year are to improve my skills – to get my scrapbooking / card making gear organised and tidy so I can work more efficiently – and above all, to keep doing what I love and make even more friends in this wonderful community. Forgot – you had an awesome card kit release with beach sentiments, footsteps in the sand, sand embossing powder, fabulous water stamps and Adirondack chairs. I have been lusting after that stamp set ever since it came out, as I was too slow to order, so my other goal is to save up to get that stamp set.
Thanks to all your designers for giving us so much inspiration in 2018 and I’m looking forward to so much more in 2019. HAPPY NEW YEAR HERO ARTS!
