Hero Arts/Dana Joy/ Pocono Pam United As One Stamp Set

July 20, 2020

I have no words that can express my excitement today.  Pocono Pam and I have partnered with Hero Arts and our first unity collection stamp set has been created. The United As One stamp set was born out of a need for our voices to be heard.  Aaron Leventahl (owner of Hero Arts) and Jennifer McGuire have been instrumental in making this stamp set come to life.  Often Pam and I have had conversations about how we felt black woman and men don’t really have a voice in the industry that we love. Today that has changed.

We have a dynamic blog hop going on today to celebrate the new release.  Please see the list below after my post so you can hop around and see what the creative team has in store for you today.

Hero Arts United As One

First, let me say thank you to the Hero Arts design team for their tremendous work in helping this stamp set come to life in our vision.  What’s the United As One stamp set about?  It recognizes the need for diversity and inclusion in the crafting community.  It symbolizes the struggles we are currently dealing with all over the world.  It’s time to embrace the change and move forward in unity not division. My card today features the main image of two hands to show that this industry (and others) can unite.  The hearts symbol the love I share with all my friends regardless of skin tone.

Hero Arts United As One

The sentiment is a pledge that we all can make a difference in what we need to see and hear in this community.  I’ve been a part of this community for over 20 years and I’m disheartened by tone of some crafters.  We don’t have to agree with everyone however we need to be respectful to everyone.  You can have your voice heard. Make your statements and kindly do it with understanding and a solid purpose of needing to unite and not divide. Let’s take a look at the stamp set.

Here is a closeup of the packaging and information on the partnership.

Dana Joy, Pocono Pam and Hero Arts are excited to partner in a conscious effort to be intentionally diverse and inclusive. Crafters and cardmakers of color need to feel support, appreciation, and respect when expressing their values, experiences and skin tone in their work. We are celebrating this spirit through unity, and this collaboration is a pathway for everyone to see themselves in their art. We hope the United As One stamp set will encourage makers to become interested and committed to listening and learning from and about each other, and recognize we are all one, united creative community. 100% of net profits from this 6″ x 8″ stamp set will go to Racial Justice charities.

 

My hope is you will see this stamp set as the beginning of a movement not a moment of solidarity and respect.  We can all do better so let’s be the change we want to see in this world.  The stamp set is now available for purchase on Hero Arts. #unitedasone

    Dana Joy, I think this is a great set and I’ve ordered mine, I really like the variety of sentiments included in the set! In your next set…. we need a sentiment “Love is all.” Unless you know of a set that already includes that… No reason to stop at one set!! 🙂 <3

    This is a tremendous accomplishment Dana and Pam. But I think it’s even more important for all of us as crafters than even for you two!! I’m happy for both of you and I feel like the time is ripe for change. People are awake who have been asleep, and those who still don’t see it or who don’t want change will have to move aside. This movement is bigger and better than them. Thank you for your collaboration and your heart. Jeanne

    Well done! As a black crafter I have often struggled to find image stamps and sentiments that truly reflect what I want to express and so resorted to creating my own. This collaboration is overdue! I can’t wait to try these out. Thank you.
