2011 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop (12-10)

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hi everyone!

Welcome!  I am thrilled as can be to be joining the gang from Hero Arts today for their 2011 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop.You should have arrived from the blog of Kristina Werner.

And yeah. I know. Thud! 😉 Me joining up with Hero Arts  for their blog hop. The Hero Arts. I.Stinking. Know!  But I digress. 😉

Going back to all things stampy. I’ve got a couple cards to share with you that I made with some of the new Hero Arts stamps.

So, with that, meet card No. 1.

Here I used one of the telephones and sentiments from the new clear Just Saying Hi (CL502) stamp set.

I just love this telephone! It’s got good character.

To play on the telephone theme, I used a page from the phone book for the background paper.

And meet card No. 2.

This one uses two more new clear stamp sets: Friendly Flags (CL475) and Sending Smiles Messages (CL490).

The flags set consists of all kind of cool triangles, which would be great for for making for making banners. I’ve gone a bit of crazy lately with banners so I instead stamped a bunch of the triangles on patterned paper and turned them into the funky circle for this card.

Besides banners and funky circles, I think the triangles would also be a lot of fun to make a star with.

For the sentiment on this one, I stamped it once with a light gray ink. Then I stamped it again with black ink. I thought it gave it a neat shadow look.

That’s all for me for this hop. A big thanks to the gang from Hero Arts for inviting me to take part today.

The next stop on the hop is the blog of my good friend, Lisa Spangler. Take it away, Lisa! 

(You are going to be wow’d. 🙂 Trust me! )

And just in case you do happen to get lost on the hop or you find a broken link along the way, here’s a link to the master list of all of today’s blog hoppers.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have lots of fun!

Be back soon!

Be back soon.

  26. They’re fabulous and so very YOU! (great colors, polka dots, fun, and funky).

    That phone stamp is a must have! I love the pearl in the center of the dialer thingy.

    That flower is over-the-top cute. I really like the shadowy effect you achieved on the sentiment.

    Yay. Great job!

  28. These are wonderful! Love the red pearl in the center of the phone, and using the phonebook page is so clever! Love how you used the banner to create a circle, and shadow stamping the sentiment adds to the “many” thanks feel! 🙂

  32. Hi Teri,
    I love your cards and now I wish I hadn’t recycled my telephone book! I learned some new things today, thanks for sharing.

  361. Love the idea of using the phonebook page as background paper. I bet using the yellow pages would be really cute too.

    These are just plain fun and cheerful! Love them.

  394. What a great place to hop to! Your projects are hands-down my favourites so far. Fantastic! I will mark your blog to come back to for a longer browse around when I am done hopping. I have a feeling there are lots of treasures to discover here.

  403. I like your use of other objects (phone book paper and staples) and a different spin on the banner shape. Also fiending on bakers twine myself.

  419. I have to laugh, honestly I thought about doing the same thing! I mean the new background stamps are great and I’ll certainly be getting my share and putting them to good use. But with the new phone images recycled phone books just seem so obvious! Thanks for sharing yours. :o)

  420. I love your cards. I love that you used a page out of the phone book as your back ground for the phone stamp. And its a great idea to use the banner flags to form a circle. It inspires me to think out of the box and use stamps in different ways. Thanks for sharing such great ideas.

  425. I am loving the way you guys are using the Sending Smiles stamps. Love that set! And using telephone directory paper as a background, genius…

  429. I love how you used the phone book page as a background for that cute new phone stamp! And the idea to put the banners in a circle – I might have to borrow that for some cards of my own! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with us!

  446. My first time visiting your blog – thanks to the hop! When I saw your blog-heading-banner-thingy with the old typewriter I immediately thought “oh, she’s going to love the old phone stamps!” lol! I guess I was right! Beautiful cards – thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

  453. Wow, how creative you are!! I love how you used the phone book page on the first card and how you used the banner triangles in a different way on the second one. Awesome!

  484. Love the clever idea of using a page from the phone book for the first card. And thanks for sharing how you did the “shadowed” effect of the sentiment on the second one — my first thought was that it was stamped on something clear and layered on white cardstock. . . . .

  488. I love the idea of using a page from the phone book too! You clever girl! I’m borrowing this idea! Thanks for sharing.

  491. You used to 2 stamp sets I have liked on this blog hop,,,the phones and the flags!
    How cute are these new stamps??..and how sweet are your cards!!! Thanks

  498. Great cards….but the phone card is my fav…jus tlove the old fashioned feel of the stamp and what can be created with it! TFS>>>

  513. What a wonderful background for the phone card. Is it a stamp or an actual telephone book page? Also love the flag card.

  514. HOW FUN!!! I love how you used a page out of the phone book for your phone card!! Obvious but I would have never thought of that!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  515. What a great idea using a piece of a telephonebook, like it heaps your card.
    We just got a new one for 2011…..guess what…I’m not going to trow out the old one ;o)

  517. Clever, clever recycling of the phone book pages that makes such a cool card.
    Pennants in a circle, who would have thought? Very creative. TFS
