Happy November! I was up on the Hero Arts blog with a winter holiday shaker card a couple of days ago. I used a variety of stamp sets from Hero Arts to build my own winter scene: Santa’s Door Accessories, Nice Elves, Naughty Elves, and Jingle All the Way. The sentiments are from the Color Layering Joy Message stamp set and the Christmas Wishes stamp set.
Be sure to head on over to the Hero Arts blog to see more details and watch my how-to video tutorial. I hope to see you there.
FYI, my inspiration came from my Christmas card I created last year. Click HERE to see how I created this card using holiday products from My Favorite Things: Merry Everything Stamp Set & Merry Everything Die Set.

Such a gorgeous shaker card. Fun and cute.
Nov . 02 . 2017For a holiday list, I have gotten most of the holiday stamps I was eyeing in a recent splurge but I would love to get Altenew’s new Build a Flower – Rose set. 🙂
Thank you for the lovely chance to win.

Fantastic cards! I love those stamps! Hmmm, there are so many things on my wishlist! Lots of Hero Arts stamps, especially the elves. And Altenew build-a-flower stamps. But the biggest wish is that hubby will be able to find a job so that I can check off items on my wishlist 🙂

Love your cards they are so stunning. Your work really is amazing!!! I really would love some new copics and some alcohol inks for christmas💖
Nov . 02 . 2017FD91354
My wish list.. I think right now I would like to order a real supply of inks. I have some used pads that are just ok but I dont want to invest in inks until I knew what I wanted. I think I’ve figured it out. This is a great give away. I’d love to win! Fingers crossed.

I just love both of your cards May! I always love the cards you make. They are always so bright and bubbly. As for my Christmas wishes it would be to have my family reunited without any complaications. Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to all. TFS!!!!!

Fantastic Cards May Hope you are feeling better. My wish list would be that everyone in my life including my animals would just stay Healthy.
Nov . 02 . 2017Berina
Beautiful cards May! I love them both! On my Christmas wishlist, I have a lot of things – first and foremost is a decent watercolor and brushes.
Nov . 02 . 2017Kathy Mc
Both cards are adorable, May! Hmmm, holiday wish list includes world peace and a new president. Of course, I wouldn’t refuse any and all crafting supplies. I don’t have any cute Christmas sets like you’ve used above. I especially love that you added clock hands to your colored circle with your darling scene!
Nov . 02 . 2017Heidi
Crafty stuff for Christmas would be awesome but what I would really want is more peace and kindness in the world we live in! This is an awesome giveaway, very generous of you!
Nov . 02 . 2017Mary Holshouser
My wish would be for my son and daughter to be reconciled. Holidays are not as much fun
Nov . 02 . 2017when you can’t have the whole family together at one time to celebrate. So I guess I’ll
just be happy to see them whenever I can and enjoy my time with each of them.
I would love to get a card from you. I have a rogue’s gallery of handmade
cards I’ve received through the years.
thanks.

Super cute cards! My wish list has many things on it, but I’d really like a new set of markers. (My old set is beginning to dry up).
Nov . 02 . 2017Astrid Hesberg
My wishlist actually says “$1,000,000.00 for craft stuff”😜 I need to add stamps, dies, embellishments, markers, and so much more!!
Nov . 02 . 2017Gin K.
I love your one layer cards! I am so going to tr a few of these for Christmas this year! My Wish List includes a stamping tool for better inking, some dies, and some punches. thanks for the chance to win!

Love the bright, cheery colouring on this card. I’m a new card maker with no stash, so my wish list includes just about everything – colouring media, embossing powders, heat tool, die cutting machine, stamps, more paper etc. etc. etc.
Nov . 02 . 2017Christine
Great cards again May. Cute images, lots of detail and great color.
Nov . 02 . 2017rosebestzh
Beautiful cards, love the blending and colors. My wish list is flower stamps from altenew. And the koi coloring fish stamp from hero arts.
Nov . 02 . 2017Sharon Brand

Beautiful card!

Love your card and how you were inspired by one of your own! My wish list is simple: I want to be healed from my surgery I had on the 17th. Oh I want a new iPhone;) Nothing big LOL!
Nov . 02 . 2017Maureen McLaughlin
May I love your Beautiful cards! I often think wouldnt it be fun to order everything that takes my fancy. This would cause two big problems – I would need a couple of life times to use it all and I my husband wouldn’t be very happy with me locked up in my craft studio for days on end!!! So for my Christmas Wish List I have kept it simple – you have inspired me with all the happy elves. I am sure these will keep me going for a while!!!
Nov . 02 . 2017Amanda G
I’ve just started card making so I’m only just starting my crafty stash. I’m putting ink pads on my Christmas wish list, I’d also really like to have a go with embossing powders so a heat gun would be great too! I’ll have to start my list now 😄

I wish to get the Lawn Fawn set “here we go a waddling”. My nearby shop carries LF but they have sold out of that set and it’s taken weeks to get them back in stock.
