Today I'm playing along with the January 2022 Never-Before-Used-Schtuff Challenge.
I don't know about you, but I definitely acquire craft supplies way faster than I can ever use them! Last year...around this time, actually...I purchased several of the Hero Arts HeroScape stamp sets and coordinating frame cuts. Well, today I'm super excited to share my very first creations using one of those sets, Vineyard HeroScape!!! (Hey...a year later isn't sooo bad, right?!?! Ha!)
I made four different card designs trying out different color combos, sentiments, elements, etc.
That last one was created especially for my neighbor girlfriend who recently turned 60 and loves rosé :)
Much of my inspiration for these cards came from the trips we've taken to Italy, so I thought I'd share just a few photos from our time in Tuscany and Cinque Terre in 2015:
Here's one more look at all four cards. I had so much fun putting these together!!! And...I've already started using the other two HeroScape sets that I purchased as well. I'll be sure to share those creations once they're all finished up.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!!!

These are beautiful, Lisa, and what fun to see the awesome photos of Italy! It's clear to see how you were inspired. And listen, one year is not bad at all, especially when you make four cards! Thank you for sharing at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful scenes and a great way to break in those stamps. Thanks for sharing you wonderful pictures and what a great trip. One year is not a bad thing. I have some unused longer than that! That's why NBUS is such a wonderful challenge to me.
ReplyDeleteLisa, what a dream come true that trip would be! So glad you got to do it - and recall your time there in paper!
ReplyDeleteAll four cards are just fabulous - your friend is bound to appreciate your thoughtfulness!
