Before we share our blog hop list below, we thought we'd kick off the inspiration with some cards from our artist Jayne Nelson. These cards were created for the catalog and feature several of the new products. For this first card, Jayne used the sweet Christmas Robins stamp set.

The next card features Holiday Ornaments stamp set and matching dies. One fun thing about these stamps is that they also have coordinating stencils - two of them in fact. Find them here and here.

The "happy holidays" message is from a great new Stamp & Cut set - Christmas Holidays Stamp & Cut XL. How fun is it inlaid with our 5-Point Stars Infinity Dies?

The release isn't all Christmas holiday themed. There are also some great products for Halloween, including this Halloween Icons Dies set. It pairs well with Hero Lifestyle Trick or Treat, too!

The release has several fantastic new Looking Glass dies for winter and Christmas-themed cards, but also a great products for Valentine's Day, too! We especially love this Looking Glass Girl with Balloon set!

And now it's time to hop! We've gathered together a wonderful group of artists who are sure to inspire. And, it wouldn't be a proper launch without some prizes! We are giving away *three* $50 shopping sprees to random winners who comment along the hop. Comment on as many blogs as you'd like - more comments means more chances to win! Comment by Sunday, August 29th at 11:59pm PT and we'll announce the winner on the Hero Arts blog. Happy hopping!

And as if today wasn't exciting enough - there's more! We are also launching our Hero Holiday Stamp-Along virtual event! We'll be hosting two great days of stamping, with demos from ten of our artists, all for $25. The event takes place in a private Facebook group.
