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!

September 30, 2014I didn’t know Hero Arts made acetate paper. The acetate I’ve used in the past didn’t work well, but I bet HA’s does. I’ll have to try that.
