Hey, all!
Today I get to share something really exciting with you! Not too long ago, the amazing Jennifer McGuire at Hero Arts asked if BasicGrey and I would participate in their upcoming "All-Star Paper Week." And of course, we both jumped at the chance and said "yes!" And now that time is here!!
Not only are we going to be sharing projects and showing awesome ideas for using our products in conjunction, but we each will have awesome giveaways to share on our respective blogs! Be sure to keep reading to find out more!
First, is the project I created using BasicGrey and some awesome acrylic stamps from Hero Arts. As alot of you know, I "faux-stitch" on my layouts all the time (no sewing machine and too lazy to hand stitch anymore!) and when I saw these border stamps, I was immediately in love! How easy-peasy do they make it??! I especially love that they can be curved to create a wavy pattern like I did here with hardly any effort at all! And these owls? Who could resist those? Definately not me! They made the perfect compliment to the quirky, fun vibe of our Offbeat line!
Supplies:* Offbeat Casual PP
* Offbeat Nonchalant PP
* Offbeat Novel PP
* Offbeat Chip Sticker ABC
* Hero Arts Clear Design Owl-oween
* Hero Arts Clear Design Dots & Lines
* Other: Bazzill & WorldWin CS, Delta Rubber Stampede Ink, Pop Dots, Berol Prismacolor Colored Pencils
Now, here are some projects from the uber talented Hero artists. Tami Hartley created this with BasicGrey and Hero Arts. Tami said: "I fell in love with
this large scale pod-branch patterned paper from Basic Grey's Offbeat
line when I first laid my eyes on it. I wasn't sure how I was going
to use it on a card, but once I got it home I decided it might be fun
to use for a holiday themed card. (I think the colors from Shari
Carroll's fabulous shabby chic creations were still fresh in my mind!)
To achieve the look I added a strip of stamped snowflakes, a seasonal
framed sentiment, a few pearls --- and voila -- a quick holiday card
with lots of impact!"
Supplies:* Hero Arts Clear Design Frames and Messages
* Hero Arts Sparkle Clear Holiday Messages
* Hero Arts Sparkle Clear Warm Wishes (snowflake)
* Hero Arts Chocolates & Blueberries Queue
* Hero Arts Neutral Card Buttons
* Hero Arts Accent Pearls Combo
* Basic Grey Offbeat Unexpected PP
* Basic Grey Offbeat Eccentric PP
* Other: ribbon, metallic silver thread, machine stitching, pop dots
Jennifer McGuire created this card with BasicGrey and Hero Arts.
Jennifer said: "BasicGrey continually amazes me with delicious papers
that I just have to have. And many of their paper lines work well
with Hero Arts. When I saw their new line, Urban Prairie, I couldn't
wait to use it. And the Hero Arts background stamp is perfect with it!"
Supplies:* Hero Arts DesignBlock Stencil
* Urban Prairie Olio Rub-ons
* Urban Prairie 6x6 Paper
* Hero Arts Clear Gemstones
* White Memories Ink
* Hero Arts Strawberry Notecards
* Other: punches, ribbon
And now I have a fab giveaway from Hero Arts! Jennifer was kind

1 – 200 of 321 Newer› Newest»Thank you for sharing such great inspirations. I am particularly fond of all things Christmas so I would have to say that my favorite BG paper line would be Wassail and my favorite Hero stamp would be the big Seasonal Borders. What fun these two items together would make.
It's too hard to pick one stamp or one line of paper. If it was easy I wouldn't have ab abundance of both in my scraproom. LOL!
Wow--beautiful stuff. I had not seen the Offbeat line...it is awesome! I love all the stitching, but can't seem to make myself drag out the machine, so I think I may have to invest in those border stamps.
BG- Urban Prairie for sure!
Hero Arts- my favorite stamp is:
Double Flourish
Kindly,
~Eve
I love all the Basic grey papers because they are so versatile and I love the background stamps and design blocks that Hero Arts have in their assortment!
Jacqueline
I love the background stamps and BG Offbeat.
Beautiful work today! My fav BG line would have to be Blush - love the colors and patterns. I'm loving all the Christmas stamps from Hero Arts right now especially Winter's Butterfly.
How fun!! I'm with you on the design dots and lines. I love the border you created on your layout. My current favorite BG line is Wassail. I love this paper!!
My current favorite BG paper is the "Oh baby!" set. Love it! My favorite Hero Arts stamps are the clear month set. Can you tell I'm working on a baby album? :-)
I love this blog! I can count on Hero Arts to have wonderful stamp designs and great samples. How can I choose only one BG and one Hero Arts? With Christmas on the way, I would have to mention Figgy Pudding as a favorite. I am a big fan sets of stamps so that I have coordinated stamps, so favorite Hero Arts line is the Clear Design stamps. I love cupcakesso my favorite set is "Seize the Cupcake."
I love your Halloween layout those owls are the sweetest thing ever!!!! Favorite BG is Urban Prairie and favorite HA is the owl stamps and dots and lines stamps.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I can't pick just one favorite... For Hero I would have to say any of the new 12" clear stamps! Those are so wonderful! :-)
My favorite line is Scarlett's Letter. I love the patterns and colors of this line. It has my favorite color combinations of red, black and white.I used it recently for a Disney album. My favorite Hero stamps are the Travel stamps. They go with any vacation and are so easy to incorporate into any layout.
Wonderful creations. I love the Sultry papers from Basicgrey and the tree, bird and message stamps from Hero Arts. Really I love all of Hero Arts and Basic Grey - it is very hard to chose a fav :) Kimx
Beautiful projects like always! The stamps are really cute..I love faux stitching too.
I am loving the pink patterns in the Urban Prarie collection. And I would love to have the stitch stamp like you used in your layout!
I LOVE THEM ALL!
I love Basic Grey papers! I have used so many collections - Mellow, Sultry, Two Scoops, Urban Prarie, Sugared, Cupcake, Pieces ... Do I have to pick a favorite? :) My favorite Hero Arts stamps are their owl stamps especially their Big owl stamp.
Waaaaaaaaay too hard to choose one fave from both these fab companies! If I could afford it I would just buy everything lol!
How cute are those cupcake stamps???
My fave BG .... hmmmm, old lines I love are Phresh and Phunky and Periphery. I'm currently in love with Ambrosia, but am itching to get my paws on Granola too!!! As for Hero Arts, I like 'em all! Thanks for the chance to win. Julie M.
I really don't have any favorites ... I love them ALL !

My favorite BG papers are from the Two Scoops line. I just can't get enough of those beautiful colors & patterns. My favorite Hero Arts stamps are the large backgrounds - flowers & swirls.
I love the hero arts Month stamps. I love Basic Grey, so hard to pick just one...but if I had to I would say Ambrosia
Michelestamps2@yahoo.com
Goodness, I'd have to say my favorite BG line is Urban Prarie. As for Hero stamps - I especially LOVE all of the owls! My #1 favorite is the Big Owl!
My new favorite BG line is Wassail! It's gorgeous! My favorite Hero Arts stamps are their old etchings stamps, which have now retired.
I love the Basic Grey papers! Especially: Granola, Mellow, Phoebe. But I could find use for every single one, actually. The same goes for the Hero Arts stamps! I love the big owl and the background stamps:). Sani
Oooh what a decision...almost like asking which child is your favourite. :) I can't wait for my Wassail paper to arrive on my doorstep. Any of the design block stamps would be right up there as a "must have".
Cheers
Anna D
BasicGrey & Hero Arts have way too many pretty papers & fun stamps to pick just one! But I love to use the Playful Animals stamps. And I love the cute girly colors of the LilyKate collection!
I love the Urban Prairie line with the Design Block Stencil combo that Jennifer did on her card - great colors, too! Thanks for the give aways!
I LOVED the stitching you did with the stamps. How creative are you!
I LOVEEEEEEE your layout! TOO Adorable!!
I just bought these Decorative bird stamps & I love them! http://store.shopheroarts.com/lp032.html
My all time favorite BG line is Archadia - it just seemed to scrap itself with my photos!
Karen D I love them all thanks so much for sharing i didn't know there were so many to choose from it helps educate newbies like me as to what is out there thanks BG and HA
I have to say Mellow was one of my all time favorite BG lines. For stamps I would have to go with my Holiday stamps sets Many Blessings or Laughter and Merriment.
I love any of the Hero Arts stamps that have birds on them. And there isn't a single BG line that I'm not in love with - they have such fabulous colors and patterns and each year seems to get better and better.
I am really loving the Urban Prairie line from Basic Grey, and would love to have the border stamps from Hero Arts. It is all so inspiring - makes me want to go create right now!
Wow! what a great layout. love them. thanks for the chance to win.` basic grey rocks!!!
I'm a card maker and I really like the Wassail line and the Christmas stamps from Hero Arts
I love seeing your paper and your work. What a great combination!
Great ideas! My favorite Basic Grey papaers right now are the urban prairie papers and my favorite hero arts stamps are the circular designs.
I think Ambrosia is my fave BG line right now. Although I love the new Wassail line and want that one! As for stamps, I love the new tree stamp I just picked up by HA - it is about 3x3 and great for coloring in. Although I love the cupcake stamps and the cute owls too! I love too many of the stamps! :)
Basic Grey does have some beautiful papers. I have several of the smaller size packs myself--I had to have them when I saw them. Thanks for the giveaway and sharing your beautiful layouts!
I love the offbeat line and I love all of the HA stamps. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. Your layout is soooo cute. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm so glad Basic Grey and Hero Arts are collaborating on the blog today. It is great to get so many ideas on how to use BG and HA products together. BTW--I don't stitch either, I'm afraid of my sewing machine!
I love the LO you did. Super cute.
Thanks for the chance to win some stamps.
My favorite BG paper is still Romani, I love the colors of that line. And my favorite HA stamps are the small sets. Love them.
Eveline.
I love the Mellow BG paper line, and I really love those border stamps you used! I would love to win!
Oh goodness, I couldn't just pick on BG line. I love them all! And I love the Hero Arts journaling stamps!
oops--forgot to tell you my favorites!
Basic Grey: Ambrosia (I just love orange!)
Hero Arts: TOO many to pick, but I'm definitely feeling all those cute owls, birds, and frogs!
I recently did some lo's of my son with the archaic line from BG and loved it! I am just getting into stamps so don't have a favorite but would love to find one!
Such beautiful projects!!
How can you pick just one favourite?!?!? I really like the Design Blocks from Hero and from BG I love the Sugared line. Works perfect with layouts of my baby girl!!
Which Hero Arts stamp is my fav? I have a whole cabinet devoted to just Hero stamps. I love all their bird images. Basic Grey paper is one of the best DP around. My favorite would have to be Cupcake.
I LOVE those stiching stamps!!! So adorable.
I must admit those border stamps are so cute! & the Hero Arts OWL stamps are so adorable! & am lovin' that Urban Prairie line from BG! Thanks for the chance to win! Stacy M.
Basic Grey "feels like home to me"...love it all! But Urban Prairie has me excited lately and Mellow is a classic. Hero Arts has so many cute stamps, it's a smorgasbord of indulgences. Background stamps are my necessity though.
ooouuu la la.....what fabulous blog candy! Here's hoping I win!!
Julie
If I had to pick from a more recent BG line, I'd pick offbeat.. I drool over every project I see made with this incredible paper!! And of course, whooooo could resist the adorable owl stamps from Hero arts?? Not me, I won't even put up any fight.. I gotta have 'em!!
Hi! My favorite Hero Arts stamps are the DesignBlocks and one of my favorite BG is Mellow!
I love Hero Arts Design Block Tree. Their stamps are really nice. I had a hard time picking cuz I love most of them. And to choose my fav of Basic Grey would be hard too. I guess the LillyKate Collection is really nice. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us here in Maine.
Love what you did with the border stamps on your Halloween layout!
Just one favorite?? I love the owl stamps by Hero Arts. As for Basic Grey, there are so many favorites. At the top would be Pheobe and Mellow! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the idea of using the clear stamps to make curvy lines--so that gets my vote! I am new to BG, but I love the Urban Prarie papers I saw today. Can't wait to try them out. summ1 at verizon dot net
Love your layout and the girls' cards. So cute! Hmm, my fave Hero stamps are those cupcakes. I love anything with cupcakes!! And BG is one of my favorite paper lines, and Ambrosia is just gorgeous! :D
Thanks for the giveaway. Choosing just one of the Basic Grey lines and Hero-Arts stamp is very difficult. Basic Grey's designs are so yummy, I am just collecting all the paper pads and feel bad about actually using them... I am working on it, though...
Difficult to pick just one. My favorite Hero Arts stamps are 'Clear Design Owl Christmas'. My all time favorite Basic Grey line is Figgy Pudding: I still love using it for my Christmas cards! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
I love the Eva line. Oh...and the Ambrosia. Oh heck, I like them all but I've been using those two more than others lately. hehe
It would be really difficult to choose just one line of BG. I love them all! Urban Prairie is scrumptious and will have to be my current favorite (but the Christmas is so beautiful, how will I choose, how will I choose).
Hero Arts stamps... same dilemma. I am highly attracted to their adorable owls. The new Christmas owl set is so stinkin' cute. That will be my favorite today!
Karen P., Idaho
I'm impressed! I really love your color schemes and you're page has a ton of designs but it's not "too busy" for the eyes! I love it!
I love Wassail paper and any of the owl stamps!
I love Granola and anything owl!
I love love LOVE the offbeat line! It rocks! and then for Hero Arts I LOVE snowflakes pattern. I been sprinkling then with glitter for a wet snowy look!
Your "Owl-oween" page is so cute!!! It's so hard to choose a favorite BG line...I really like Offbeat. I have so many favorite HA stamps...I'm really drawn to the new owl stamps right now. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am in love with the Wassail paper from BG. And I am wanting the Owl-oween stamps in the worst way. Halloween and Christmas are on my brain.
I love the hero arts border stamps and the BG Urban paper line!! What a great giveway and such cool projects you talented ladies created.
I just love your projects! My favorite BG line of all time is Scarlet's Letter. And I just adore all the owl stamps that Hero Arts has to offer. Thanks for the giveaway!
I don't have a favourite but I would like to get my hands on the prize!!!
Thank you for the giveaway! I love Baic Greys Figgy Pudding paper collection and loving ALL the Christmas Hero Art stamps!!
hclovespink@aol.com
I love the Hero Arts background stamps, they are so versatile and really give you a lot of options for backgrounds as well as highlights to other layouts. As for the BG collection I like best...oh! Do I have to choose? They're all so cool! I guess I'll say Eurphoria. Gorgeous!!
gorgeousness! i would love the chance to play with those stitch stamps! I love the look of sewing on my LOs but just don't pull out my super old and very heavy sewing machine that often. i also just got the Urban Prairie and Granola lines from BG and am having a blast playing with those.
Oh word!!! Owl stamps!!! Im in love
I love Ambrosia-but Dasher is still my all-time favorite Basic Grey--I've got about three packs of it hoarded. My new favorite Hero stamp is the new stamp with the dates and Remember on it (but I can't remember the name-ironic huh?) I got mine at Michaels and have used it 10 times already!
I love BG and Hero Arts, they make a great pair. I love those faux stiches stamps and how you used them.
i too am an owl stamp lover/ collector :D - favorite bg line is BlusH - love the pink/brown/ blue combo! yummy!
Wow, I just visited this blog for the first time, but definitely not for the last!! I love the lines and dots stamps and how you used it and my choice of paper is the Wassail line, love it!!
My favorite Basic Grey paper set is Periphery. Right now my fave from Hero Arts is the Holly Flourish, since I am starting my holiday cards and it makes a fabulous background. Sandy F.
Love the scrapbook page. Great colours.
as for Favs
BG - Love the new x-mas one but competely can't recall the name!
HA - Love the seasonal borders. Have bought a bunch for friends but yet to buy one for myself!
I was so thrilled to see BG on the Hero Arts blog today, they are my absolute favourite paper Company and I've collected quite a stash of 6x6 pads for card-making. Hard to pick a favourite line...love the Blush and Boxer ranges for the colours and designs. Looking forward to the arrival of my Ambrosia 6x6 that I just ordered...that looks like it could make the list of favs real soon!
What a SUPER layout!!! I subscribe to your blog and the HA site so this is so much fun!!!
OK.. my fave HA stamp(s) are the Design Block Tree and some of the other tree designs... Perfect for any season!!! LOVE them!
My favorite BG has always been Perhaps... Oh my gosh... I am so bad... I refill the pages that I use!!! What a hoarder!!!!
My fave new BG 'are' the Granola and Wassail lines! I want them both!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodness!
I LOVE the Urban Prairie Basic Grey Line, but I also love the Stella line as well. (I just love all of it, actually!) As far as Hero Arts stamps goes, I love the bird stamps-I have the Owl Christmas and a few other bird stamp sets!
I love all things BG and Hero arts!!! Have TONS of both... Right now I a really loving on Figgy Pudding and Wassail... Stamps would have to be anything snow related and I have been drooling over the cupcake line also... Love the Season Greetings card...Awesome job!!!!
My fave BG line is Blush and my fave Hero Arts stamps are the Simple Life stamps.
:)
fab layouts and cards - yum...I love the owl stamps and anything by BG is awesome...have been playing with the Offbeat line and am in love!
I love using the Archaic line for layouts of my little boys. I love the stitch border stamps.
anything BG is wonderful - when my LSS gets the paper I have to get it all !! Still am in love with last seasons Christmas line and LOVE Ambrosia.....
Love your creativity.i love the new Long Season Borders by Hero Arts. one stamping and you are done and if you want to create a background these work too. My fav basic grey line??? can all be an answer. Of the two new ones, probably offbeat, of all the holiday lines each and every one of them!! Great job.
I love both Hero Arts and BG. My favorite Hero Arts stamp that I don't own is the Big Owl. But I would love to own those cupcake and stitch clear stamps in this giveaway. My favorite BG line is the Urban Prairie line. Absolutely love the patterns and colors. Two great companies producing fabulous products.
I have many Hero Arts Stamps and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Some favorites are the
leaves, trees and design blocks
which are versatile for many types
of cards. Basic Grey: I love the
paper!! Currently, I am using a lot of Phoebe and Mellow.
New to Basic Grey...but I can tell it going to be my new FAV.
A
I am loving the Urban Prairie BG line. That is my new favorite! The Hero Arts stamp that I love is the Dots and Lines, so versatile! Such cute stuff!
I have to echo everyone's thoughts-- I really adore the Urban Prairie line!! Amazing stuff. I'm equally in love with Hero Arts. Can I really pick a favorite?? I really enjoy using their design block stamps- they are wonderfully versatile.
I love the Figgy Pudding paper.. Love it... Im loving the stamps that Jennifer Maguire used to make her christmas cards. The stamps that are all of the different sized trees. Thanks for the chance to win.
wow - whats not to love? i have to say i really like this new urban prairie and any hero arts stamp is a good stamp. :-}
Koren
Right now Eva is my favorite Basic Grey line. So hard to pick a favorite Hero Arts line. The penquins are my favorites right now.
Have to say two favorite BG lines: Figgy pudding and Fruitcake. As for Hero Arts, LL228 Solid Flowers Flourish is my favorite - for the moment ;-)...
I love the Urban Prairie line. Stamps from Hero Arts? How can you choose?? I love the Creative Trees stamps.
I love the Ambrosia line. I have done all my Halloween cards with it. As for Hero Arts, you can't beat their background images.
Love all the Basic Grey stuff, and your design was wonderful.
Figgy pudding is great and the little ha penguins are too cute.
I love Hero arts designblock butterfly stamp and BG's Urban prairie line. I can't wait to use them!
Jennifer
I really love the christmas and food stamps. And I can't pink any BG line I love the most. I love all the BG lines
And thanks for the chance to win this great give-away.
I love all of BOTH Companies products, but since I'm planning a card in my head right now, I will say my favorite Hero Arts stamp set is Happy Haunting (CL254), and my favorite BasicGrey line is "Granola",( which I was SO EXCITED to find, along with another favorite, Urban Prairie, at my local Michaels). Our city does not have a Scrapbook store, so I depend on Micheals for much of my crafting needs. I was happy to find both Hero Arts and BasicGrey at Michaels, and I hope this trend continues!
I love all from BG and the stamps from hero arts all so cute.
My favorite BG paper line at the moment is Mellow it works so well for fall layouts and cards. But that being said I love almost every single BG paper line. Hero arts stamp that I need right now the clear christmas owl set.
Lisa
I love Basic Grey papers and have used them for years. I look forward to getting the new Urban Prairie set.
This is a hard one...but two products that I love are the BB Romani line and the HA DesignBlock Wavy Leaf Pattern stamp. Thanks for sharing the great projects!:)
I just love the Urban Prairie papers. The colors are me .. what can I say. My fav Hero Stamps are anything to do with weddings. I make shower and wedding invitations.
Wow, what an amazing match with the BG and HA! The examples are the best - what a great use of color and LOVE those faux stitches.
making christmas cards now….love patterned paper from basic grey, they always have a little “antique chic” or “distressed” look in their papers!!! Still using the “figgy” xmas series of patterned paper now…yes, I hoard basic grey papers....hero arts stamps, they are awesome, love both their rubber and clear stamps.....right now, I'm loving the winter clear stamps :)
Love, love, love the Dots and Lines stamps from HA!!!! My favorite BG right now is Granola--great for all my boy pages. Thanks so much for sharing your beauties!!!
I love the new Urban Prairie line from basic grey. I love the color combination in all of their papers though! I have this little owl stamp from Hero Arts that I just love.
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
My favorite BG line ever is Blitzen and my favorite hero arts stamps are all of their sentiment type - I use them over and over again on cards.
Mary Rogers
mrogers@charterinternet.com
Your work is gorgeous Kelly! Thanks for a chance to win some cool HA stamps! My favourite BG line is probably the Wassil line... need to get my hands on that puppy! And for the Hero Arts stamps... I love all their mini Sparkle Clear sets.... a little bling and some yummy stamps! I just love all the Christmas themed ones!!! Thanks again!
I love the two scoops paper. I think my favorite hero arts stamps have to be the design blocks.
I am knew to stamping, but was thrilled to see that my new mini set of alphabet stamps are by Hero Arts. I am loving everything new that BG is coming out with. The new Offbeat collection is on my wishlist. I just picked up Granola and can't wait to use it on my zoo layouts.
I love, love, love the cupcake stamps and BG Sugared papers. Yum!
Thanks for the opporunity to win!
Great stuff! I love the cupcake stamps! Cupcake anything is on the top of the list! And I love the new Urban line from BG. Basic Grey has come out with some new good stuff!!! thanks, lisa k in tx
Wow! Great Giveaway.
My favorite BG paper is Eva. So many lusious colors! And as for hero arts, I've fallen in love with anything relating to Owls that they do.
Thanks so much for the blog candy contest! And I'm so happy to have found you!
My favorite Hero Arts stamps would have to be the new Jolly Christmas set I just purchased - so adorable-and my current BG fav is the new Ambrosia line.
my fav hero arts stamps are any of them that have to do with owls! my fav BG line is that urban praire, love it!
I can't pick a fav of Basic Grey - I love it all!! And my current fav Hero Arts stamp is the tiny owl
I'm currently using the Sultry line but I love them all!
I like the Hero sparkle line and those adorable owls!
I would love to create cards with those cupcake stamps! sUSAn
My current faves are BG Urban Prairie and the Hero border stamps.
It's impossible to pick a favorite BG line...I'll take any of them sight unseen....as for the stamps, I'm really loving the borders...I want to try the stitching!
I am dying to get my hands on something cupcakish!!! Would have a blast with these stamps and some paper piecing.
thanks
lynn
I LOVE, did I say love, Urban Prairie! I love all the colors and it is just adorable! I couldn't wait to use it, but it killed me to use it just the same, lol! As for Hero Arts stamps, I love them, just haven't had the luxery to buy any. I don't know my fave HA stamps, but I know I would love most of them, lol!
My fav BG is pretty much anything, although I'm really loving and greatly anticipating the arrival of the Wasail line right now. As for the stamps, the favorite right now is those stitching stamps now that I've seen how they are used by you. Why is it that my favs are always what I don't have yet?
It's so tough to choice just one! I love so many of the Hero Arts stamps! If I must, I'd have to say I love the Clear Design Cupcakes the best, and the Pointsettia, and the birds and .... oh see what I mean?
Same with trying to chose just one BG line, I love ALL the Christmas stuff, and Boxer, and Arcahic, and the new Offbeat, and so on and so on!
It's all your fault, your work is so inspiring!! Keep up the great work!
My favorite BG line at the moment is Granola. I also love many of the Oh Girl and Boy papers and tend to hoarde old papers that have now been discontinued!
It is hard for me to say what my favorite HA stamps might be... the list could keep going and going... I really like their journaling stamps, the asian elements and boarders, and all of the bird stamps!
Oh, I LOVE BG paper!! They are so cool and tickle great ideas out of my brain!
Hi Kelly, I am new to your blog and very inspired by your work. I, too, do not like to drag out the sewing machine but like the technique on my pages. The Hero Art dots and lines stamps are right up my alley. My current favorite BG paper is ambrosia. I like the grey and orange together and I am seriosly thinking of re-painting my scrap room with these.
Samantha
Oh, how I love BG paper and Hero stamps! The Offbeat line has such cool colors and I love all the cool tree stamps that Hero has. And they are so perfect together!!
Awesome projects! I am so excited to find your blog via the Hero Arts blog. It's like a 2 for 1 bonus day! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite BG line at the present moment is Perhaps! My favorite Hero stamp right now is the DesignBlock Tree! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I love the older Christmas line Dasher and I'm glad that I hoarded a lot of it.
And I love the big wood mounted owl stamp. He's the same one as the one you used on the layout, without the costume
My favourite Hero Arts stamps at the moment are the Live Simply UM set but as always that can change depending on my mood (and of course with new stamps lol). I also adore the owl from the Asian Elements unmounted set
My favourite Basic Grey range is Euphoria for many reasons not least the soft hazy quality of the colouring but also as they have a paper named Delirium
I love LOVE the holiday owls. And the cupcakes are really fun! And the paper I like best is the Off beat collection. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite hero stamps are the large background thank you and happy birthday text! My new favorite BG line is Offbeat but my ALL TIME favorite is Fruitcake : )
My favorite BG line is a bit older. I've bought 3 packs of it so far... Color Me Silly. It's so classic! I love the Owl-O-Ween stamps the most out of all of the Hero Arts stamps. All of their Owl stuff is sooo cute.
Hero Arts Stamp: Winter Pup
BG Line: Two Scoops
My favorite Hero Arts images tend to be their wonderful trees - my absolute favorite at the moment is the Scroll Tree. Flourishes and scrolly images are a close second, though!
As for BasicGrey papers, I don't know the exact name of the line that I love the most, but it is the one with aqua, green, and brown tones in patterns of scrollwork and textile-like designs. Pretty much, though, I like almost any BG paper I see and am always tempted to bring some home with me.
Thanks so much for offering this contest! Now I want to go home and use my BG papers right now (too sad, though, as I am currently at work!)...
OMG... to pick one favorite is much to hard... I do for sure LOVE the Christmas lines Figgy Pudding and Fruitcake. And the owl stamps of Hero Arts are the cutest ever. But these stamps that Jennifer sent to give away would combine darling with the cupcake line... don't you think? Martine
I really can't choose one of either company. I love the owls from Hero and Two Scoops from Basic Grey.
It's too hard to pick one of my favorite line of Basicgrey. I love the Fruit Cake from last year and Archaic this year. One of my favorite stamp from Hero Arts is Jolly Christmas. Thanks for the chance to win yummy stuff.
Teresa
I think the Clear Design Halloween and Owl-oween stamp sets would be fun to play with.
I may have to hit my SB store and grab some of the BG Granola line too.
From Basicgrey I love their Christmas papers - Figgy Pudding and Fruitcake. All of their papers are pretty though. Can't pick a favorite from Hero Arts.
Love your current LO's.
Anything in the Clear Design line works for me. I love being able to see where I'm stamping and the price is right. :)
I really like the BG Archaic line - grabbed them all.
Julie
Pick ONE BG line?? Impossible... lol
I have loved most of the past boy lines.. Sweetpea Jack, Dawson, Baby Boy(?), etc...
Hero Arts, I love the background stamps, especially the new christmas one :)
In honor of my all time favorite BG line, Blitzen, I'm going to say my current fave is Wassail. I just love what BG does for the holidays. I'm eyeing Hero Arts' Gift Tag set for my next stamp purchase. Guess the cold weather has me thinking of Christmas!
What great layouts and cards. I love Basic Grey and hero Arts. Thanks for the inspiration. Jill S
love all of basic grey line my favorite fuggy pudding need some of that new urban and some christmas hero stamp.tfs
Love your projects. And who doesn't love a cupcake? Thanks!
I like the Two Scoops papers. I love using the Christmas stamps from Hero, Hand Drawn Christmas!
I do not have any stamps from them as I am just starting up and would love to get these!
This is the frst time I've come across BasicGrey papers, and I love them! Looking forward to finding out more. Absolutley impossible to name a favourite Hero Arts stamp - they are all gorgeous.
Awesome giveaway, thanks!
My all time favorite BG line is Blush, so pretty. I am loving the new 12" stamps from Hero Arts, so fun!
I love the Design Frames and Messages stamps. And I love all Basic Grey!
My favorite BG paper of all time has to be Blush. Right now I am in love with the Hero Arts Seasonal Borders (the 12" ones!)
Totally cute cupcake stamps!
Love the Halloween layout with the Hero owl stamps. I also love the stitch stamps used, how easy!
Okay, I *need* the stitch stamp. I'm too lazy to drag out my big ol sewing machine. And how could I ever choose a favorite BG line? Impossible! I love them all! :)
i love the cupcake line with HA cupcake stamps, what could be better?
Am really loving this week of HA with fabulous paper companies! BG is one of my all time favs! I really love the HA owls and the new BG Urban Prairie...just absolutely GORGEOUS!
I love the background stamps by hero arts and that bg urban prairie line is amazing (no surprise there)
thanks for the inspirations
I think that the Phoebe line is my favorite..not only because it's my cousin's name but because it's so pretty! I love so many Hero Arts stamps it would be hard to narrow down a choice! :D
My favorite? Hard to say.
Just love BG and Hero-arts!!
Like almost all of the stuff, hard to choose. Thanks for the chance to win.
Greetings from Belgium.
I would have to say my favourite Basic Grey line is Wassail and Blitzen because I love Christmas.It could be Christmas every day of the year and I`d never get tired of it LOL. My favourite Hero Arts stamp would have to be Design Block Silhouette.
Thanks for this great giveaway Kelly. I loved your use of the stitching border for the faux stitching. That would be a great way for me to go, too, since I'm not much of a sewer. I love the Basic Gray Eccentric. And I'm really interested in the little 6x6 pads for cards.
Wow!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome giveaway, Kelly!
I just love these products! Some of my all time favorite companies!
Keeping my fingers crossed.
What an incredibly hard question! You both have so many fantastic products. The HA designblock flourish is fantastic as is the BG urban prairie and offbeat lines. Keep em coming!
I'm not very original on this one: Urban Prairie is a current favorite! And choosing just one HA stamp is very close to impossible, there are so many favorites, but I am really in love with the owls!! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring us, AND the chance to win GOODIES!
Anette :o)
definately a hard decision. but i would have to say Hero Arts Fancy Scrolls stamps and BG Periphery.
I think the cupcakes are my new favorites. I also love wordlines
I love all the owl stamps from HERO Arts.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the BG Figgy Pudding. I have a stash! I just got the Hero Arts Christmas Owl (the cutest!) set so I can't wait to combine the two. Thanks for the chance.
I love the new Offbeat line, so many fun options! And the Hero Arts owls are beyond precious.
I am constantly amazed that these creative people can combine colours and textures to create such appealing lines. I have several colloections at home, and frequently have problems cutting the paper up to use it!
Thanks!
Lindsay MacDonald
I've got to go with the Offbeat bird today ... but in all honesty if it's basic grey - it's a favourite! As for hero arts stamps ... give me cupcakes or birds and I'm in creative heaven.
I love the new BG line Urban Prairie! My favorite Hero Arts stamps are their Clear Design Live Simple. Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabulous prize!!
Hi, I love the Urban Prairie paper and I can't pick one stamp. Too hard. But I would love to have the ones you are giving away!
I love all basic grey papers and if you saw my collection, you would believe me. I am into hero design block right now. Debbie
I don't think there is a BG line that I don't love! LOL! I really like Cupcake a lot! And those HA cupcake stamps would be great with it!!!
I have simply fallen in love with the Urban Prairie line! I have a sneak on my blog of a diary/planner I have made using a clear album and the Urban Prairie papers.
I have a favourite stamp too form Hero... its the "many Birds" stamp. Birdies are soo cool!
I love the Basic Grey "mellow" line. So gorgeous! I also love the "owl set" from Hero Arts. Those owls are just too cute!
I would have to say that Urban Prairie has fast became my favourite BG line, I can't stop using it!!!!
