Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks + Giveaway

Hello friends! Today we are excited to kick off our 2021 Holiday Catalog sneak peeks, leading up to the catalog reveal, product launch, and blog hop in just two days. That's right, on Wednesday, August 18 all of the season's newest products will be available at Hero Arts retailers and here in our online shop.

Stay tuned to the blog today and tomorrow to preview the newest of the new and enter yourself into our gift card GIVEAWAYS!

Let's get started with a beautiful trio of cards featuring natural elements that offer classic holiday elegance.

Starting with the card on the left, we have the Holly Berries (CM557) clear stamp set which is perfect for sending holly-filled greetings of the season. The large focal image is a joy to color, and we've rounded out the set with three mixed-font sentiments. Did you spy a new stamp in the background? Introducing the Buffalo Check Pattern Bold Prints (CG855)! You'll reach for this 6" x 6" cling background stamp well beyond the holiday season, as it's a timeless pattern for a variety of themes and occasions. An instant classic!

The cards at center and on the right both feature another new clear set, the lovely Christmas Rose (CM555). The large open areas make this one a stamper's dream to color – just imagine the possibilities! It also makes a beautiful statement when simply embossed. We can't wait to see what you create with the Christmas Rose!

Now it's time to switch gears to die cutting and we're delighted to bring you lots of creative offerings for holidays ranging from Halloween all the way up to Valentine's Day. It is always a good time for love and hearts, whether for Valentine's Day or any day!

How do new Looking Glass Dies sound? We are expanding this popular collection of layered window dies with SIX new Looking Glass designs in all! Two of them are featured above. Looking Glass Heart (DI911), shown on the card at left, is a showstopper that includes three layers of die cuts to create a love-filled window. (See it in action in this short video.) The center card features the charming new Looking Glass Girl with Balloon (DI912) set that allows you to build the sweetest of scenes. You'll be able to mix and match all of these dies in various combinations and with any cardstock color combinations you wish for countless possibilities.

Last but not least is the fabulous new XOXO Cover Plate (DI914), a die that cuts a full A2 card panel with hugs and kisses galore. It's ideal for for inlaid die-cutting techniques, shaker cards, and could even be used as a stencil. Use the "fallout" letters separately for more creative design options. There's definitely a lot to love about this fun new Cover Plate! Like what you see? In the catalog you'll also find three additional Christmas and Holiday Cover Plates with the same bold, graphic style as the XOXO design.

GIVEAWAY TIME! Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $25 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Sunday, August 22 at 11:59pm PT.

Look for our 2021 Holiday Catalog products at your favorite retailers and in the Hero Arts shop on August 18.

We’ll be back tomorrow with more peeks and another giveaway. See you then!
