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.

Great cards. Love the trees.
Love the “pool” color in a Christmas card. The cards look great!
I love how you combined the stamps and die cuts.
I’m a sucker for trees! That’s my favorite! Thanks.
Cute cards. The layers make the cards!!!
Both cards were beautiful! Striking color palette! I would have never thought to put those colors together but I like it!
Love both cards. The negative space from the trees allows more color to show thru. Love the light blue and red snowflakes. great combo. thanks for sharing
A great Christmas card design! If you have to send a lot out this would be perfect!
Love your non traditional ( light & bright greens) that you used. Lovely cards.
Awesome window cards!! Love the splatter background too!!
Love these, they make window cards so quick and easy!
Amazing, Lisa! Love how you used the combination of the stamp and the die.
these are cute card what a cute idea to cut out the trees
A great way to have a layered look–thanks for the idea!
Fun and cheerful. Perfect design to bring a smile.
LOVE the tree card the most, but the snowflakes die is really “cool.”
LOL KatieP! :-D
This card is the perfect Christmas card…love it in every way, Lisa!
I love the card with the Christmas tree cutouts. That is so clever. I am usually a traditional color person for Christmas, et. red, green, but I like that pool color on the inside of the card.
Fabulous cards!!! Wonderful colors!
Such gorgeous cards! I love that the dies and stamps come together!
