The Hero Arts October 2025 Release: Merry Era is here! I created two festive cards—one featuring the “Have a Ball” die set with a glittery ornament, and the other showcasing the “Twinkle Lights” Fancy Dies with colorful bulbs strung across teal cardstock. Both designs sparkle with holiday magic and are part of the October Blog Hop.
