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.

Hope you feel better soon, May! My wishlist has only one item. It’s a laser cutter 😁. Waaaaay out of anyone’s budget though.
