Celebration day 2!

Hi again friends!

We're so glad you've come back again today and want to thank you all SO much for your excitement, support and lovely comments on yesterdays post!

We just wanted to add, don't forget to leave comments here on the blog or on our Facebook page, as well as tweet about the festivities, coz the amazing Simon Says Stamp AND Hero Arts are offering up some prizes!!!

So as you all remember from the yesterday, our theme is


Today we have another three AMAZING designers for you to go ga-ga over!

First up on the list is the adorable Lisa Spangler!

Lisa Spangler

AH-DORABLE! The water coloured fox, the washi tape, the envelope background--eek! Super sweet.

Next along the line is a great friend of ours, Chari Moss!

Chari Moss

Such a pretty card! We love the muted colours--they're just perfect.  The bright pops of pink from the Hero Hues Dots finish the card off so well.


And thirdly, the amazing Nichol Magouirk!

Nichol Magouirk

and the inside
nichol magouirk_inside

umm...WOW. What a great card!! Nichol always manages to make her cards look like pieces of art doesn't she?!

Just to add to our excitement, Nichol was amazing enough to also create a video of the creation of this card for us to share with you!!! Watch as she weaves her magic!!









What do you think?! Are you so inspired you can barely wait to finish reading this post before you hit your craft desk?! We know we are!

These are lovely cards. I LOVE the one by Nichol!! The video is awesome. She shares those little tips and tricks that give you what you need to know to make your stamping better. Kristina Werner is a person who does the same thing in her videos and it's SOOO nice to meet another person who makes great videos. The markers look awesome with those stamps (2 of which are on my list to buy now!). I just ordered some Distress Markers, so I'm hoping they stamp as well as the Mementos Nichol used. I'm so HAPPY with everything I'm seeing your the new fabulous Blog Named Hero!! Thanks!

maria f. said...

That fox just jumps out at me asking to be pet... Love the pops of bling on Lisa's card too.

lynda said...

Nice job on the video. I like how Nichol sped thru the video & narrated over it.

Lucy said...

I just found your blog and will be subscribing. I'm working my way through the posts and the cards are outstanding. For the most part, they are CAS, which is what I prefer. Nichol's card is lovely. I'm a visual learner, so always enjoy videos. I, too, like the sped up video with narration over it. Am I the only one who noticed Nichol changed nail polish 2/3 of the way through?????? I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't seeing things. ;-)

heidi @ ggip said...

I really love Nichol's card! It inspired me to buy one of the floral stamps and some memento markers I saw on sale. I am having pretty good results with the technique, but I wonder what other stamps Hero Arts might have that would work well with this technique? I am having too much fun I want more, lol!

Tamara said...

thank you for showing the video to the pretty card. I was really intrigued by the border die, as it had the ruled ege that one could line up on a card. Who is the manufacturer of this smart product as I want to order one.

thanks

tamara

Tamara said...

lovely....and really keen on knowing the company who created the border die. I have scoured the net and seen others, but love that this has a ruled edge for being straight. Can you please let us know where one can find this.

thanks
