Because I am a DIYer at heart, creating new and unique ideas to wrap gift packages has always been a hobby of mine. In the past I have played around with using paper flowers, felt creations, and tissue paper designs as gift toppers, but here is a completely new way dress up your packages. Creating DIY gift wrap is a cinch using my spring line of stamps that I designed for Hero Arts!
I am so excited to reveal this spring stamp line with all of my favorite fruity and floral inspirations. And it is so easy to customize your gift wrap and tags with them! I started by gathering all of my favorite jewel-toned and pastel-colored ink pads, and then picked out some matching baker’s twine. You can of course use the stamps to add a personal touch to your favorite gift wrap pattern, or you can create your very own DIY gift wrap by using blank sheets of regular white printer paper or kraft paper. I have designed these stamps using various themes, so choose a set that complements the occasion or the person receiving your gift. Going to a summer housewarming party? Try my fruity set with pears and strawberries! Or how about going with a pretty floral pattern for a Mother’s Day gift? I personally love the idea of using the sweet ice cream stamp set for a kid’s birthday party. You can browse through the whole spring line, including my previous stamp collections with Hero, by checking out my product page on their website!
Because Hero Arts partners with lots of other talented designers and stampers, they decided to create a 2016 Catalog Blog Hop to showcase all of their stamping goodies. They are all wonderful, so check them out for even more inspiration! Next up in the Blog Hop is one of my favorite stamp designers Kelly Purkey. Browse her website to find her spring designs!
And here’s the best news: Hero Arts is giving away four $25 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop. Comment by 11:59pm PT on Sunday, February 14, and they’ll announce the winner on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Hop along and comment for more chances to win! You can get all the details on the Hero Arts blog. Now go create your own DIY gift wrap! Happy Stamping ~Lia

Hi Mrs. Lia
So happy to be able to join your site.
Am a avid crafter and I tried to learn the most of a can to teach adults and children with disabilities and people with illnesses free of charges.. I took your craftsy class and I was amazed of how easy and elegant your crafts are. I will say that because of you I got my cricut air but I will need to go over your class a couple of more times.
Also will like to know where to get your stamps, inks and other supplies.
Thank you for sharing so much talent with us.
Regards,
Soledad
Thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear you share your love of crafting with others!
