I was lucky enough to be a member of the A Blog Named Hero design team back in 2012-2014 and I still love all of the wonderful creations I see on this blog today. It is such a source of inspiration for creative projects with Hero Arts stamps. Hero Arts stamps were the very first stamps I used when I started creating cards and they will always have a very special place in my heart.
Today, I have made a fun and festive birthday card for you using some of my all time favorite Hero Arts dies, the Martini and Star Background Fancy Cuts:
Your next stop on the hop is the wonderfully talented Bhavana Kesarker ! If you have missed any links,
