I've had a Friday and Saturday filled with last minute shopping, wrapping and crafting with some new stamps! I even baked a batch of cookies! If you know me at all, you know that I never bake, and actually don't even like to do it, so that was BIG! And I love what new stamps can do for one's mojo! Especially when they're from my favorite company, Hero Arts!
Here are several cards I've made with the four new stamps I bought on Friday.
I love the Hand Drawn Flower! I have other plans for this stamp, but made this one red and yellow for a friend and co-worker who is in the hospital. She loves this color combo.
And this stamp is so beautiful. I had planned on embossing and coloring the image in a totally different design, but then had the idea of using the gold embossing powder. This Flower Bird Garden stamp speaks for itself and stands on its own quite nicely!
Then there's the Tree Trunks wood stamp. Love this one too! I thought of birch trees right away and made this card first.
Then I wanted to try something real simple and made this one too.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Large Blossom cling stamp. It is a smaller version of the same, larger background stamp, and I know it is going to be a favorite of mine!
I wanted to make something fresh, colorful and spring-like. I'm really missing warm weather. It's been so snowy and cold here this month, and we are suppose to get another snow storm on Monday night! Not sure where we're going to put it all!
That's it for me. It's getting late so I'm headed for bed. Have to work tomorrow. Have a great night and a wonderful Sunday! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Wow Barb - the mojo is back with those new stamps.... awesome. I particularly like the gold embossed one and the brown tree trunks. The two toned stamping on that one is wonderful.
You are a lucky ducky, Barb - love all of them! I hadn't given the trees much of a look, but you have changed my mind on this one - I want it now! Thanks for the inspiration......now to train myself to wait untilI can get the new things after Christmas!
Very fun cards Barb...really love the cheery colors on the first one! I'm with you...not much of a baker at all either!
I can see that you are enjoying the new Hero art stamps already with some pretty cards! And your blog banner is so bright and cheery!! Hope the snow is subsiding!
Especially love the gold and blue ones Barb! Miss you friend! All new cards on my blog. Happy Holidays!
These are great cards Barb! AND the best one is the gold embossed...wow!!
Barb your cards are just beautiful and I'm very jealous as I've not had time to craft- been busy baking those darn cookies and all those other holidays chores!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and your family!

Wonderful work yet again Barb, My favourite is also the gold embossed card, the new stamps have great potential.

Hey I have and idea for you, try kissing the wood grain stamp to the new tree trunk stamp, and then stamping them on card stock. It's way cool!!

Hi Barb, You have been busy. I love all these cards--they are all stunning. My favorite is the peach color flowers. I love these new stamps. I am stopping in at Archivers on my way to Ohio (There is one in Louisville, KY and it is on my way.) I won't be posting for awhile. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care and stay warm, my friend.

Beautiful set of cards! Love the warm tones! I too am missing the warmth. WE are having way too much winter already!
Beautiful cards, all of them! I love the brown one with the tree trunks! I probably need to do some baking too, I enjoy it but I have no self control and tend to eat way too many biscuits (cookies) .
Wow, Barb! I love what you've done with the new stamps. These cards are all so gorgeous!
All of these cards turned out beautifully Barb! I see some of my very favorite ones in this set of cards! Happy Holidays to you!
