New Hero Arts Stamps





Taking a break from playing with my Eclips machine, I decided to ink up some of the new Hero Arts stamps that I purchased from Ben Franklin Crafts. Really, the store has a marvelous collection of unique clear, rubber and wooden handled stamps. I particularly like the new Hero Arts sets that have words that can be changed out and into other stamps. You get more variety for your money. Also as time saver, I love the sets that have Sizzix thin dies that can be used to cut out the stamped image.....such a time saver and you get perfect cut-out images. I made this card with the intent to use up some of my paper scraps so perhaps I should have used another color for the newsprint background or used a brighter printed cardstock. I added glitter over the dress and headband, but paper piecing could have been done instead. My favorite part of the card is the ticket stub that is held down by the hand and opens to reveal a message. Well, that's all for today.....gotta get going on Easter projects. Please stop by again...make it soon. Have a springy Spring Day!

Lynn, how very clever of you to use her hand to close the little ticket note! I love this idea! I agree with you...love the new HA stamps and Sizzix dies that match the images...so fun to play with and saves time looking for a matching die or a die that will fit! Have a beautiful day!
