There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Jennifer Kotas‘s blog and your next stop will be Ilina Crouse. The full blog list will be updated below!

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and one of the Extraordinary Extras.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. This was a really fun stamp set where I wanted to use all the images from the main stamp set and I did just that! I went ahead and arranged almost all the images onto a card panel along with one of the sentiments. I stamped my card panel with Intens-ified Black Ink. You definitely can use the coordinating die cuts in the set but I chose to stamp and mask off the images. I wanted to use the Holiday Treats Cling to stamp the background behind all the images. I stamped that with Moss ink. Then all I needed to do was color it up!  

My second project focuses on the Cling Stamp of the Month, which I paired with an older stamp set called Winter Town Cheer Stamps. Admittedly, this cling stamp has a lot going on, however, I really didn’t want to color up every last bit — imagine how many markers I would be using! I decided to first create a holiday rainbow card panel. The colors include Red, Orange, Yellow and Green, and I pulled out the cardstocks Kiwi, Canary, Papaya, and Cherry. I trimmed down some strips and adhered them to an A2 card panel. Then I went ahead an stamped the Cling Stamp with Intens-ified Black Ink. I used coordinating alcohol markers to color in the background, but made sure they were just a TAD darker so the images would pop. To finish off the card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Winter Town Cheer on Pitch Black Cardstock using White Embossing Powder.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the September 2024 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Clear Set + Dies of the Month 3) Fancy Die of the Month 4) Layering Stencil Set of the Month 5) Cling of the Month and 6) Whole Studio (all 5 in one!).

• CK0924D Coordinating Dies & Moon Fancy Die

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and one of the Extraordinary Extras.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. Hero Arts does silhouettes well and they are perfect for creating a little scene. I wanted to play with white space for a simple card. I masked off about two inches for the top, and ink blended five different colors for a fun and bright background. I used Grape Juice, Butter Bar, Azalea, Cornflower, and Papaya.

My second project focuses on the Haunted Romance Fancy Dies, which is one of the Extraordinary Extras. I also paired it with the September Fancy Dies of the Month called Mirror Portraits. I die cut items from using different cardstocks for a bit of variety, but I did use copic markers for the rose die cut from the Haunted Romance Fancy Die because I wanted the added details. Once I had all my pieces, I arranged them on a panel of Cranberry Cardstock, which I darken up the edges of with Charcoal Core Ink. I also stamped out a sentiment from the Halloween Messages stamp set to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the August 2024 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Clear Set + Dies of the Month 3) Fancy Die of the Month 4) Layering Stencil Set of the Month 5) Cling of the Month and 6) Whole Studio (all 5 in one!).

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the August Card Kit of the Month.

Includes:

• Jungle HeroScape Clear Stamp Set, 6″ x 8″
• 12 Coordinating Dies
• 5 Fancy Dies
• Jungle Scenics Stencil, 6″ x 6″
• Olive Hero Wax
• White Plastic Palette Knife
• 3 Reactive Ink Cubes (Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple, Fruit Punch)
• 2 Reactive Glitz Ink Pads (French Pink, Byzantine Green)
• 5 Printed Sticker Sheets, 6″ x 6″

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and the Clear Set + Dies of the Month.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. Hero Arts does silhouettes well and they are perfect for creating a little scene. I also wanted to play with creating a side bar with the dies that come in the card kit as well. I used the larger palm leaf die and cut two of them out of Kiwi cardstock placing them on top of a 1.75 inch strip of Palm cardstock. Then, I used a mix of Deep Ocean and Periwinkle core inks paired with Intensified Black ink to create the little scene on the right hand side. To add a little something extra, I lightly inked Butter Bar on the edge of the card for a bit of color.

My second project features the Fancy Die of the Month, which features Jungle Vines and Critters. I couldn’t resist taking my copic markers to the die cut window but I took a few liberties creating my own oval shape for the frame. Once I finished coloring, I just popped it on top of Pitch Black cardstock so my colored die cut would really pop. For the sentiment, I pulled out the Everyday Sentiment Strips along with the Sentiment Strips Fancy Die for a simple one. I thought that the “Wishing You All The Luck” works so well with this card.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the July 2024 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Clear Set + Dies of the Month 3) Fancy Die of the Month 4) Layering Stencil Set of the Month 5) Cling of the Month and 6) Whole Studio (all 5 in one!).

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the July Card Kit of the Month.

• CK0724D Sand Castle Fancy Dies
• PW125HO Sand Embossing Powder .5oz

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and the Clear Set + Dies of the Month.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. Hero Arts does silhouettes well and they are perfect for creating a little scene. The images also allows me to take advantage of white space for a card! I stamped out my ocean image with Hero Arts Summer Sky Core Ink and that is what my card revolves around. I next stamped out the sailboat, the birds and the sentiment using Intens-ified Black Ink. To add a bit of color to the card, I ink blend Butter Bar, Ultra Pink, Orchid and Summer Sky for a sunset look. I also realized after the fact that my “ocean” was actually meant to be clouds BUT I guess that just shows how versatile this set is!

My second project features the Clear Set + Dies of the Month, which features mermaids and seahorses. I really wanted to do a scene card BUT I opted to go for a simple one to challenge myself since I find the harder for me. I picked out three Hero Hues reactive ink colors: Blue Hawaii, Pool Party, and Splash along with a card panel of the Luxe Watercolor Paper to do some ink smooshing! I used a plastic bag to achieve this fun look — first by adding the ink to a palette or glass mat, spraying a little water and picking up the color with the plastic bag and transferring it to the watercolor paper. My tip is to not use much water so you can get some of that texture. I stamped the mermaid and seahorse, coloring them up with copic markers before using the coordinating die set to cut them out to add to the card panel, which I matted on Peacock cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the May 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts and this one is a bit more special as we’re celebrating Hero Art’s 50th Anniversary! There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Charlene Madrid‘s blog and your next stop will be Kailash Naidoo. The full blog list will be updated below! This month’s collection focuses on peace, love and kindness! Here is a peek at the Classic Kit:

The Classic Kit includes:

• Floral Cake Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
• 11 Floral Cake Coordinating Dies
• 6 Sheets Luxe White Watercolor Paper, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• Contour Ink Pad (AF468)
• Flat Water Flow Brush (PD105)
• Watercolor Palette (HT227)
• Ink Swatch Palette (a sheet that has 8 colors of watercolor paints in our Core Ink colors)
  
  Classic Special (50th Anniversary) Gifts:
• Message Clear Stamp Set, 3” x 4”
• 3 Coordinating Dies
• Yay Fancy Die

and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:

• Balloon Background Cling Stamp, A2
• Champagne Sequins (CH306)
• Birthday Enamel Dots (CH332)
  
  Premium Special (50th Anniversary) Gifts:
• Yay Clear Stamp & Coordinating Die
• Congrats Fancy Die

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and add ons!

The first card focuses on the Premium Kit. I immediately fell in love with the Balloon Background Cling Stamp — it is so versatile. You can use it for birthdays, celebrations, new babies, and more! I picked out a few fun colors to smoosh ink with: Taffy, Lemon Drop, Blue Raspberry, Splash, Blue Hawaii, and Thistle reactive Inks. I used a piece of plastic I had to pick up the ink after I put it on a glass surface and sprayed a little bit of water. Using these on top of the Luxe White Watercolor paper, it created a really colorful background. I used the Congrats Fancy Die to cut out the sentiment from this inky background and removed the border. I matted it on Pitch Black Cardstock to really make the Congrats Fancy Die pop!

My second project features one of this month’s add ons dies, the Hooray Birthday Cover Plate. I pulled out a rainbow array of cardstock: Cherry, Papaya, Canary, Kiwi, Peacock, Amethyst, and Ultra Pink. I trimmed down the cardstock to half inch strips. I covered an A2 panel with double sided adhesive and covered the panel with strips diagonally. I used the Hooray Birthday Cover Plate and die cut it using Black Glitter cardstock. I added the die cut panel right over the rainbow striped panel so all those colors pop through. It’s so fun right?!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the March 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Rachel Kleinman‘s blog and your next stop will be Seeka. The full blog list will be updated below! This month’s collection focuses on peace, love and kindness! Here is a peek at the Classic Kit:

The Classic Kit includes:

• Clear Stamp Set, 6” x 8”
• Frame Cuts
• Cover Plate Window Die
• 2 Rub-On Transfer Sheets
• 3 Ink Cubes (Cherry, Periwinkle & Deep Ocean)

and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:

• Clear Stamp Set, 4” x 6”
• Frame Cuts
• Translucent Pinks Hero Hues Enamel Dot

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and add ons!

The first card focuses on the Classic Kit. I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of solid stamps because my preference is just to color but one that builds a scene in this sketchy kind of way along with silhouettes is something I can get behind. I used the 6″ x 8″ stamp set along with the Periwinkle, Deep Ocean, Cherry and INTENS-ified black ink pads to stamp this scene up. You can create any type of scene you’d like and interchange all the silhouette images. It’s so fun and easy! I also couldn’t resist using the Rub-On Transfer Sheets to add a little flair to the card. It reminds me of those old asian paintings with the scene and then the writing over it — exactly what this card looks like.

My second project features a one of this month’s add ons set, the Ramen Bundle and the Origami Paper Bold Prints. I love split card designs, it’s usually a great way to use up pattern paper or add some interest to a card. I stamped the Origami Paper Bold Prints on both white and Cherry Cardstock using the Cherry Core Ink. I used half of it on one side, half on another side. Then I stamped some of the images and sentiments from the Ramen Bundle using Cranberry Core Ink and placed them on my card panel.

Here’s a little video for this card above:

The first card focuses on the Classic Kit. I love floral stamp sets and this one was such a fun one.

This turned out really pretty!

My second project features a one of this month’s add ons set, the Cosmos & Lavender bundle. I just love the florals and decided to create a diagonal border of the floral clusters. I stamped and colored them in copic markers.

• Love Messages Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
• 6 Sheets of Camel Watercolor Paper, 5″ x 7″
• 3 Core Ink Cubes – Moss, Azalea, Summer Sky

and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:

• 10 Flower & Leaf Fancy Dies
• Gold Leaf Flakes
• Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen
• Pink Gold Metallic Spray

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and add ons!

The first card focuses on the Classic Kit and one item from the Premium Kit. I created the base of my card using the 5 Floral Color Layering Stencils using the following Hero Arts Reactive Ink colors: Thistle, Grape Slush, Berry Smoothie, Pool Party, and Blue Hawaii. This turned out really pretty!

Then I decided to use the Love You Fancy Word die. Originally, I wanted to do an eclipse card but I thought the background was a bit busy and I wanted the words to really stand out. I die cut a couple of the words, stacked them and used Pitch Black cardstock right on top. I also stamped out a supporting sentiment from the Love Messages Stamp set. To finish off the card, I used the Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen right over the Love You Fancy Word Die to add a bit of sparkle.

My second project features a one of this month’s add ons set, I Love U Stamp & Cut XL along with the Ode to Andy Warhol Script Bold Prints background stamp. I saw the font for the I Love U Stamp & Cut XL set and immediately thought about subway art — bold handwriting over delicate font. I first stamped the Ode to Andy Warhol Script Bold Prints in Cotton Candy core ink, and then I used the I Love U Stamp & Cut XL set to stamp over the background on the top and bottom, leaving room for the coordinating dies in the middle of the card.
