I had SO much fun playing with these NEW stamps and dies!

Here are SEVERAL cards and a tag or two...

 I am SO LOVING this Hexagon background!!!
They also have a Hexagon alphabet and another set of hexagon images and sentiments!!!

I saw these tags on the Hero Blog Hop and I was inspired!!!

These are my version...

 The gold embossing is lovely...hard to get a pic...
so here's an angled close-up....

 Yes, I sent 'g' outside to snip a bit of greenery off our cedars!
- - - - - -

 The 'So Kind' set has several sized of diamonds to play with....
I combined them with the 'Hexagon Alpha'....
- - - - -

 The 'Number Pattern' had me even BEFORE I saw it irl...
MORE gold embossing....
and the 'Wish Big Candles' set is SO FUN!
Two BIG sentiments and a bunch of candles!!!
- - - - - -

 'Tiny Ink Spots' is another FUN stamp to play with!!!
I used silver embossing powder this time....
...again...hard to capture it's sparkly qualities...
AND... this tag!!!
Loooove!
It has a die too!
THANK YOU HERO!!!

Aren't they fabulous!!!!
- - - - -

 Orange Soda, Tide Pool and Green Hills are the inks I chose for these BIG BOLD FLORALS and leaf!!!
'Six Petal Flower', 'Scalloped Flower', and 'Tropical Leaf'
I'm looking forward to playing more with these ones!!
Loving the tag dies that Hero has now....
and the sentiment from 'All Good Things'...
...it comes all in one line...but I snipped them all apart so I could fit them onto the tag!
- - - - -

 Here we start with the 'Map of America'  stamp...
I am a pushover for a map stamp...and this one is TERRIFIC!!!
Used the 'Hello' Sentiment from 'Fancy Basics'... 4 BIG sentiments in this set...
FANTASTIC!!!
There's that tag die again!
- - - - - - -

 LOVE this 'Tweet Pattern' ...another one I have several ideas for!
Slipped in some more hexies and another sentiment from the 'All Good Things' set.
- - - - - -

 Another 'Map of America' card....
and the 'Hexagon Alphabet' too...
A snippet of 'Tiny Ink Spots' grounds those hexies.
- - - - -

 This 'Woodgrain Background' is WONDERFUL!
It has funky hearts throughout the pattern...so cool!
'Big Bold FLower' showing up on this card and...
a super sweet tag from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' set!
All the tag junkies please raise your hands!
;)
- - - - - -

 Copper embossing elevated this 'Map of America' card....
and black embossing for the 'Tweet Pattern'....
SO easy to cut a quick chevron from it too!
- - - - - - -

 LOOOOVE this 'Arrow Background'!!!!
I squealed when I saw it!!!
Bunches of tags from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' set...
...it comes with a blank tag so you can stamp in whatever you'd like!
Very smart Hero!!!
- - - - -

Here we are...
last card of the post...
'Everything Flower' makes a HUGE impact here!!!!
And the 'Sic Petal Flower'...
White embossing powder and Raspberry Jam ink....
need I say more?
Oh, and another sentiment from 'All Good Things'
There are 5 sentiments on that set and a wobbly line of flowers....
so cute!
