Hero Arts Holiday Blog Hop. Bring You Joy Card + Video + Giveaway
This post is also available in Українською мовою
Hi everyone! I’m taking part in a Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop from Hero Arts today, yay! We are sharing Holiday projects using Hero goodies.
I made a simple Bring You Joy card on a clear card base using a fabulous Pen & Ink Christmas Tree stamp. Its been awhile since I made anything on an acetate card base, so I decided to give it a go.
As always, I’m sharing a video showing you how the card came together. I also talk about ways you can embellish this tree to make it more festive.
You can watch my video below or on Youtube. Enjoy!

Laurie Parente
September 30, 2014I have never seen a card made in acetate before. I have a queston when I emboss on black cardstock with gold, 1st I use the emboss buddy the do the same thing; however my cardstock ends up dingy looking after. What am I doing wrong?
Yana Smakula
September 30, 2014Laurie, mine does too. It helps to wipe it with a damp cloth, a damp paper towel. You can do that right after the embossing before you stamp any additional elements or add anything else to the card.
