One Kit, So Many Possibilities...

I said it before, I'll say it again, I love the new Holiday Jumble Digikit from Hero Arts.
Here I have two cards, both made using this sweet kit.
First up, another Christmas card. I just love this cute, smiling gingerbread man.  I printed the background in red on red card with a custom sentiment made using Winter Bulletin, Ornamental and Say It (In Pieces) digikits.  The gingerbread men were printed on kraft, then sponged over with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.  I added some detailing with a white pen, and the scarves which I made from Baker's Twine.

Next, I decided that the sweet Candy Swirl stamp would be fun on a birthday card.  I printed them on white and coloured with Copics, adding Stickles to the centre of each.  The sentiment is created using Hero Arts Say It (In Pieces), Say it (Again and Again) and Sweet on You digikits.  I love creating custom sentiments. :)  And I used my favouriote Polky Dots kit to create the background.

I hope I have shown that these fab digikits can be really versatile... I really love to think of different ways to use holiday themed stamps. :)

Three Trees

Here's a card I made using a new Hero Arts digikit: O Christmas Tree.  There are 5 different tree stamps and 2 greetings in the kit, and I chose one of each for this card.  I used a frame stamp from the Tags and Pieces Digikit, layering it over Old Letter Writing for a vintage-y feel. The background is stamped with Collage Music Background, using the new Evergreen Bough Distress Ink which matches Hero Arts Pine Layering Paper perfectly.

Still more to share sing this week's kits, so I'll be back tomorrow.

Frosty Borders

Today I have two cards to share, both made using Hero Arts new Frosty Borders Digikit.
First up, this simple snowman card.  I used the snowman border from the kit, but cut it up and rearranged them into a grid pattern.  The snowflake background is also a border from the kit.  I love the modern look to this stamp.

And on to my second card...
Here I have used the Dot Snowflake border stamp from the kit to create the lovely swirly background to this card.  I also used Hero Arts Flourish Ornament, Very Merry Christmas and Merriest Christmas Wishes stamps.  And the lovely silky crush ribbon and twine is from The Ribbon Girl.

Poinsettia Christmas

I'm back today with a card made from the new Festive Borders Digikit by Hero Arts.
The sweet poinsettia is taken from the kit.  I enlarged it, printed it on cream card and trimmed two out, layering them and adding a button to the centre and two twine bows behind.  The background vine is also a stamp from the Festive Borders kit.  I altered it to sepia before printing onto kraft card.  The edges are inked with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and the sentiment comes from Hero Arts Very Merry Christmas stamp set.

I've been looking for a solid poinsettia stamp for ages, so thanks Hero Arts! :)
