2013 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop

(This is my 2nd post for today - please scroll down or click HERE to see my very exciting news!!!)

Hello, and welcome to the 2013 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop. I hope you had a great time at the incredible Maile Belles blog! 
I am so excited today is finally here... I've been looking forward to sharing the new stamps with you for AGES and I am sure you will be as thrilled as me by what you see. So many new goodies to choose from... eeek!!!
Anyway... if you have stumbled upon this hop, I urge you to start from the beginning (HERE). Otherwise, on to my cards. :)
My first card features the new Fantastic Birthday clear set. Believe me, you're going to LOVE this set. I certainly do. I can see myself using every single stamp in this set FREQUENTLY. All the papers on this card are from Echo Park's Neapolitan collection pack which I thought was very appropriate given the ice cream theme. :)  I added the wiggle eyes and little smile to my ice-cream, plus a bit of button twine. I love paper piecing. :)

And my second card features a cute stamp from a new set called My Favorite. I love this stamp - that sweet washi tape on top is adorable don't you think. Again, I used the Neapolitan papers and some yellow Doodle twine to finish off my card. A simple but fun one I think.
