2016 Catalog Sneak Peek #2 + Giveaway!

Welcome back to our 2016 Catalog sneak peeks! Yesterday was about all stamps so today we'll turn our attention to some exciting new dies from the release...

This sweet card was created by Creative Team member Mariana Grigsby and features the new DI160 Paper Layering Pineapple Die. This unique "pop-up" style die gives paper a 3-dimensional effect. After cutting, simply fold or curl the cuts and the design will reveal itself! For added interest, add ink sponging as Mariana did on her card. In addition to the pineapple, we're also introducing Paper Layering mum, lotus, and star designs. There are so many fun possibilities with these dies and we can't wait to see what you do with them! You'll be able to see them all on Sunday when the 2016 Catalog is revealed in full right here on the blog.

We hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and to thank you for stopping by, we have some giveaways — one $25 Hero Arts shopping spree and five copies of the new catalog! For a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this blog post by 11:59pm PT on Sunday, January 17th. We’ll pick the six random winners from all of the comments and announce them on the blog the following week. Good luck!
