Hi! Welcome to the 3rd day of the
2013 Hero Hostess Blog Hop! We alumnae Hostesses are so excited to be participating again this year to show you all some of our favorite new 2013 Hero Arts stamps; I am so honored to be among this wonderful group of creative ladies. The Hop began on Monday, and will continue all the way through until Friday, with 5 or 6 blogs each day for you to visit. You should have arrived here today from The
Hero Arts Club Blog; I'm your first stop.
I made 4 cards for you today, so let's get started.
My first card uses my favorite flower stamp from the 2013 catalog:
Tall Flowers. Here I stamped only the top part of the stamp above and below the sentiment from
Friends are Treasures, using alcohol markers to color the flowers. Then I just added some turquoise and golden gems in a few of the centers.
My next stamp is called
Tweed Pattern. I white embossed it on white cardstock, then used some distress markers to color in my rows. I added a sentiment from
Live Life stamped in broken china distress ink, and added this flower made from Spellbinders Rose Creations dies, colored with distress stains.
This is a beautiful flourish, don't you agree? It's called
Leafy Vines. I stamped it with VersaMark on an ivory cardstock, embossed it in clear and then sponged on peacock feathers and peeled paint distress inks. Then I overstamped with my old favorite
Music Background. I didn't want to cover up anything on this lovely design, so I didn't add a sentiment; only a punched butterfly with some pearls.
My last card uses the clear set called
Love Jar and I used just the branch, one of the hearts, and part of the sentiment to make this one. I stamped the open heart on various red printed papers, then cut them out and popped them above my twine hanging from the branch.
Hero Arts will be awarding prizes from randomly drawn comments on all of our blogs For a chance to win, simply comment on ANY of the blogs along the Hop on ANY day, including each day's starting post at the

Both are beautiful cards--really want to try the Leavy Vine stamp!

Wow, all the cards are wonderful, but I am impressed with all the effort the tweed background took...but worth it!
Love these cards and I was blown away by the tall flowers used upside down as well as right side up. Great! Now I have to have that one, too.
I love how you put the tall flowers above and below the sentiment--they look like they are mirroring each other! I love what you did with the hearts hanging from the branch! Fabulous!

Love all your cards .... the colour and mirror image of the flowers, colouring of the tweed, that gorgeous leafy vine cards and those hanging hearts.
Great cards! My two favorites are the first one with a greeting in the middle, and the valentine. That is so sweet!

Wonderful cards! I love all the fabulous colors you've used! Right up my alley with the yellow, neutrals, browns, greens, and blues! Of course the hearts needed to be red and they are fun, too! TFS!
Amazing showcase, Lin! I love how you and Judy created almost the same design with that branch and hearts! What a happy coincidence!
Love the unique use of the tall flowers stamp. And I couldn't agree more of the flourish--that Leafy Vines is a new must have. I also really like how you used the Tweed pattern--white embossing the stamped area and coloring in the negative space. I don't often look at the negative space--and should. Thanks for the inspiration!
All wonderful cards, love how you used them and oh those colours just make me smile! Thanks for the inspirations Lin!
Gorgeous Designs, Lin!TFS!
What creative way to showcase the new stamps. Lin, your cards are gorgeous. Thanks for the eye candy.
