Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the February release with a blog hop and a giveaway. If you’ve arrived from visiting Mindy Eggen, you’re right on track!
The February My Monthly Hero Kit is about peace and friendship reminding us that we all share the same sky, the same hopes and dreams. This kit features a 6″ x 8″ clear stamp set filled with beautiful, serene floral images and sentiments that will expand your creative horizons. Also included are a bountiful 17 coordinating dies and 4 tag fancy dies. The kit is rounded out with twine, an ink cube, and a generous amount of white cardstock.
The Premium Kit includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and projects – even more Creativity in the Box! In addition to all the Classic Kit components, the highlight of the Premium kit includes a Radiant Sun Stencil and a whopping 48 pieces of ephemera, featuring colorful flowers, hearts, butterflies, and words. Also included is a 3″ x 4″ clear stamp filled with positive messages, word fancy dies, and embossing powder.
My first card features a stamped and die cut image from the kit against a background made with the stencil that is included in the Premium version of the kit. I stamped and colored the bouquet and ribbon with Copic markers and then used foam tape to adhere the image to a background panel made with the stencil. I stamped a small sentiment (also from the kit) and then glued the panel to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Arctic cardstock. To finish, I glued the card front to a card base.
Supplies:
My second card features the Groovy Window Fancy Die, one of this month’s add-ons. For this quick and easy card I simply sprayed a 4.25″ x 5″ panel of white cardstock with two Hero Arts Two-Tone Metallic Sprays and then used the Groovy Window die to create a beautiful window in a panel of white cardstock. I glued the two panels together and then added a sentiment made with a stamp and die from the Cosmos and Lavender Bundle. To finish, I glued the card front to a card base.

Hello and welcome to day two of the three-day countdown to Monday’s Hero Arts release! The fun new kit (and this link) goes live at 10am PT on February 5th.
For my card today I used Creamsicle and Lemon Drop Reactive inks to create a background using the stencil from the Premium kit. Then I use the small stamp set in the Premium kit to stamp this sentiment which I die cut using a die from the Circles Infinity die set. I die cut a slightly larger circle of vellum which I glued to the back of the sentiment.
To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the sentiment piece to the background and then I glued the card front to a Dove White top-folded card base.

Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the January release with a blog hop and a giveaway. If you’ve arrived from visiting Ilina Crouse, you’re right on track!
Looking for a way to express love, friendship, and joy to your loved ones? Look no further than the January 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit! Let your imagination run wild with the generous Color Layering Stencil set for countless possibilities. This flower-filled kit includes 5 Color Layering Stencils, Fancy Dies, a clear stamp message set, special watercolor paper, and inks: everything you need to create beautiful cards.
The Premium Kit includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and techniques – even more Creativity In The Box! In addition to all the Classic Kit components, the highlight of the expanded kit is an abundance of Fancy Dies. Hero Arts has also included Gold Leaf Flakes, a Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen, and rounding out this generous kit is a beautiful Pink Gold Metallic Spray!
For my card today, I used elements from the Classic Kit. First, I used the stencils and blending brushes to create a floral panel. Though the kit comes with three gorgeous colors of ink, I used different colors from the Hero Arts line: Lemon Yellow, Creamsicle, Azalea, Grape Juice, and Mist. Then, I used the coordinating heart die to cut out a floral heart from the panel.
Next, for the background, I positioned the new Heart Burst stencil over a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock and used the blending brush that I used with Grape Juice to brush lightly over the stencil. I did not re-ink the brush, there was plenty left on it from having blended the floral pattern. Then, I die cut the “love you” sentiment three times from white cardstock and stacked and glued the layers together to create a thicker sentiment.
To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the heart to the background and then I glued the sentiment over top. Finally, I glued the card front to a top-folding card base.
And here’s another look at the card I shared over the weekend. This one uses elements from the Premium Kit.
