Now that the bookkeeping is out of the way, on with my cards!
Stamp & Cuts
Today I have two cards to share with you! Both of the cards are made with stamps and matching dies from the Stamp & Cuts collection.
The dies and stamps come packaged together and there are so many great designs to chose from! Here you can see the ones that I used:
Now, how about a closer look at the cards? :)
Let It Snow
The snowflake card uses the Let It Snow Stamp & Cuts set. I started off by stamping a blizzard of snowflakes with tide pool ink on a pool notecard.
Then I cut two windows out of the front, stamped two more snowflakes, cut them out, and adhered them behind the windows. I added one more snowflake to the front and that was that!
Merry Trees
I also used a pool notecard for the tree card, only this time I reverse folded it so that the pool part was on the inside.
Next I die cut some trees out of the front of the card, then stamped more trees, cut them out, and layered them over top.
So cool, right?
Giveaway
Hero Arts will be giving away one GRAND PRIZE that includes an assortment of stamps, inks, stencils and dies valued at over $75. Two $10 Hero Arts Online Store gift cards will also be awarded. The three prize winners will be randomly selected from all comments received on the participating designers’ blogs, so the more comments they leave along the hop, the better their odds of winning. The giveaways will close at 11:59pm PST on Thursday, Oct 2, with the winners announced on the Hero Arts blog on Friday, Oct 3.
Keep on Hopping

I love both of your cards. I really like how you cut out the trees and attached the die cut trees to the front, beautiful card!!!!
Super interesting cards tfs
Love the positive and negative space on your cards
Simple, easy, and creative. These would be fast to do. Thanks. It
seems the obvious is always last LOL….
Very cheerful cards with the fun colors you used, and I like the idea of putting the pool color on the inside of the card! Thanks for sharing :)
How clever to use the negative space and then attach other stamped and die cut trees!
Oh, I love this idea for die cuts. Wonderful!
I’m lovin the way you cut the tree die and then layered the stamped trees over! Super cute.
Love your color choices!
These are beautiful. The trees are my favorite!
What a great start to the week with a blog hop from Hero Arts, filled with holiday ideas. I’m bogged down in my Christmas & Halloween card making and need some inspiration. Loved both your cards and especially the merry trees. Using the inside of the card as the outside is a super idea! Thanks and this is fun!
Wonderful cards!
Love the way the
tree card came out.
