Winter Catalog Sneak Peek #2 + Giveaway

Welcome back to 2020 Winter Catalog sneak peek week! (Click here if you missed the first peek yesterday.) Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback on the new Peek-a-Boo collection additions we shared! Your enthusiasm and support fuels our creativity and makes us even more eager to see what you'll create this holiday season.

Today we have a double dose of delightful inspiration for you...

Cards by Jessica Frost-Ballas and Debi Adams

If you love a die cut that can be used during various seasons and for many occasions throughout the year, get ready to add the Wagon and Accessories Fancy Die Set (DI790) to your wish list! The set includes 8 individual dies that allow you to build the wagon and fill it with pumpkins or presents. From Autumn to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and beyond...imagine filling this charming wagon seasonally in creative ways. Hearts for Valentine's Day? What about a big cake for a birthday? Jessica packed the wagon with pumpkins, while Debi loaded it with an adorable pup and Christmas presents. (A tip from Debi: Splatter diluted white acrylic paint onto the trees with a stiff brush to create the mist of snow effect.) The possibilities with this set are endless! What other ideas can you dream up? We'd love to hear.

GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $20 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Sunday, August 16 at 11:59pm PT.

See you tomorrow with another sneak peek!
