I'm baaaack! Here with day three of sharing pre-release Hero Arts products I bought via the ShopBox Spring 2023 program! My favorite Twin Cities brick and mortar store - Anchor Paper Express in Plymouth MN - participates in the ShopBox program. Limited online retailers will offer these products next week, starting January 19th.
Usually I go to the trouble of seeking out the ShopBox stuff and then forget to use them until they're widely available. This time, in keeping with my plan (I won't say "resolution") to use new stuff quicker, I've been creating every day. So proud of myself & I'm getting needed cards done too!!
Both of today's cards use the new Daffodil die set & the new sentiment bundle, Friendly Messages. On card one I also used a new cling stamp called Burlap Bold Prints.
Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card (aqua & vanilla); Neenah Brights;
Michael's green; My Mind's Eye Necessities (woodgrain);
Anchor Paper kraft; upcycled greeting card (orange patterned)
Stamps with Dies - Friendly Messages Bundle
Stamps - Burlap Bold Prints
Other - Foam tape; Park Lane gems;
Black Soot Distress Ink; Hero Arts Sand Stone ink
Yesterday I used the Lily of the Valley set, loving those flowers as I do. But daffodils are another fave of mine and these dies make adorable ones in two styles. This time I trimmed the sentiment into two pieces after I die cut - very simple to do! This card will go to Darnell's
January NBUS Challenge since my die set & burlap stamp got first play with it.
Here's a twofer with the daffodils & using the same sentiment set (love, love, love it!) but for a birthday. This one will go to my friend Debbie who loves to garden.
Thanks for continuing to visit! My only other ShopBox purchase was some spring rub-ons and I probably won't do a special post for those. You can see them in the video at the ShopBox link above, if desired. Happy crafting & TGIF!!
A wonderful job showcasing your new goodies! Hard to believe that spring really is on the horizon!
