Happy New Year! + Season's Givings Blog Hop

Happy New Year! We hope you've enjoyed the holidays, and are settling into 2018. We are thrilled to be joining a big hop today, full of generous stampers and craft companies. The purpose of this hop is to say a great big THANK YOU to all of YOU, our wonderful blog readers! Every single stop along this hop is offering some sort of prize. How fun is that? So sit back, relax and bring 2018 in with a crafty bang!

Libby created the card we're sharing today. It features an oldie but goodie, our My Monthly Hero kit from December 2016! Libby stamped the champagne bottles repeatedly, colored with her Copics and then added gold gel pen (included in the kit) as well as some gold Stickles to the labels. The "cheers" was cut with a die included in the kit, and the shiny gold metallic paper came from the kit as well. She finished the card with some polka dotted washi tape from her stash.

Because this kit is so incredibly perfect for the new year, we decided to offer up THREE of them as our prizes for this hop! Just leave a comment here on the blog, letting us know your goals for 2018, and we'll put your name in the hat. You have until Sunday, January 7 at 11:59pm PT to comment, and we'll announce the winners the following week here on the blog.

Now it's time to hop! Here's the entire list of participants.


From here you'll visit our friends over at CAS-ual Friday Stamps. Have fun hopping! And we wish you all the very best in 2018!

WOW! LOVE the background you created! SO cool! Thanks for the Giveaway & Happy New Year! My Crafty Goal is to stream line my craft space to make it easier to use – Started on it already and hope I can continue to de-clutter my mess and enjoy using my space again!

Theresa McKinney,

My goal for 2018 is to use all my stamps! Happy New Year! _

Erika,

Happy New Year to all at Hero Arts. Oh! My goodness it would be wonderful to have a chance to win this kit because let’s just say I am going to be putting your kits this year towards my New Year Crafty Resolution. The plan for 2018 is to be able to make 2-3 card fronts that can be mass produced each month into lovely cards and then be put together as a lovely gift for all my care givers ie my nurses, doctors, therapist and social worker at Christmas time. I really do appreciate all that they do for me in helping fight this awful disease know as Lyme Disease. I think this would be a great gift. Take care all…

Kari Villebrun,

Happy new year from Sweden! My goal is to get catch up on my albums and to remember everyone’s birthdays in time to send them a card :)

ms Scrapmess,

I’d like to try to make more cards. Happy 2018!

Caren C.,
