Winners!

With all the Christmas hubbub I forgot to post the winners from the Thank you to our heroes challenge! Random.org picked out these from the ones who left comments and linked a card:

  1. Cora Jean
  2. Barb Turpin
  3. sf_crafter

And of course while I’m here posting…how about seeing another pair of heroes who loves our new stamp sets? I think they’re actors waiting to be discovered. LOL.

Below are 2 of the cards in their hands, both using the Year Round Sentiments set.
We’re VERY close to wider availability of the stamp sets!! Your stores have hopefully gotten their catalog, and YOUR excitement about it might just help push them to order. Send them a link to the Hero Arts landing page HERE today, and ask when they’ll get these sets in!
And of course if your stores don’t have them in – or are slow and you just can’t wait – Hero Arts will have them in their online store on January 5th!!! Wooohoooooo!!!!

Thanks to our heroes…

…at Hero Arts! It is just so darned cool that they’re partnering with OWH in such a big way to help our heroes, and that makes them OUR hero! In that light, we’ve got a special challenge for you today – it’s a 5-step one today, so pay attention….

  1. Make a thank you card using at least one stamp. Yep! That’s the easy part. You can use any stamps, but if you have something from Hero Arts, that would be awesome. And if you have the new stamps? Go for those! Normal OWH guidelines apply, so no glitter.
  2. Use an OWH sketch as the basis for it. Be sure to share which sketch it was!
  3. Share it using InLinkz below. (No blog? Check out the Flickr tutorial here.) 
  4. Leave a comment for Hero Arts on this post. We’ll be using quotes from those comments for something later. 🙂
  5. Send your card either to OWH for our heroes, or to Hero Arts! Of course if you send it to HA, you’d be writing a note in it…or if it’s an AnyHero card it needs a note. Or you could send it blank to your shipper. As usual.

Attn: Mr. Aaron Leventhal

Prizes
Of course we have prizes – you knew it! We’re giving away three more stamp sets, one set to each of three lucky winners who play along. Woohoo!! Names will be drawn from those who upload a card AND leave a comment, so be sure to do both! Deadline: upload/comment before Christmas Eve! We’ll announce the winners that morning so Sandy Claus can give out some candy that day.

Sample cards
This sample card uses a wide variation on Sketch 64…the stamp set is Year Round Sentiments (CL582). The stars are stamped in Colorbox chalk inks, and layers are plain heavyduty cardstock.

 This card uses Sketch #9, and also Year Round Sentiments (CL582).

These cards shown have already made it to our heroes to use and send home – check them out in the hands of our heroes at a USO in Afghanistan! All the cards they’re holding in this photo are made with the HA/OWH sets – pretty awesome to see how much they love them too!
Time for you to go get busy now…have fun!

OWH + Hero Arts = a very MERRY Christmas!

If you’re here for the Hero Arts hop, scroll down one post – or better yet, stop in and watch this quick vlog, and you’ll get to see some of the new Hero Arts stamps first!

We’ve got so much excitement built up it’s starting to spill all over! 🙂 Here’s your promised vlog…with a little silly bit to the background story of the OWH/Hero Arts partnership’s beginning….

Be sure to hop over to YouTube to give the video a ‘like’ and leave a comment to have a chance to be one of the lucky winners of a stamp set – and stay tuned all week for more giveaways!

And…just because it’s the weekend, we’re also going to share another card with you, using one of the Hero Arts stamp sets….in Afghanistan! Yes, we sent out a few in the hopes we can share some smiles with you, to show you just how much our heroes love these stamps too!

Is your LSS one of the stores hosting a Hero Arts Catalog Debut Party? If so – get yourself over there and pick up some new stamps!
