Welcome back. It’s release day for the Hero Arts April 2023 My Monthly Hero Kit release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Our release for April is a fun, eclectic mix of florals and mixed media! This Premium Kit includes a 6″ x 8″ stamp set full of elements to mix and match for creating flower clusters, vases filled with blooms, and interesting patterns – either in the background or right on the flowers and vases themselves! Two red rubber cling stamps add even more pattern options.
There are dies to cut out all of the elements, including the messages. An exclusive washi tape with a handwritten script pattern can be added to your design or on your envelopes, and four Core Ink cubes round out the items also available in the Classic version of this kit. The star of this upgraded Premium Kit are the Fancy Dies to cut out vases, greenery, and blooms. Optiona for die and color combinations are endless! Decorate the vases with the stamps, or use the fun doodle stencil included. For a final element, a great set of enamel stickers, which match the fun & funky collage theme of this kit release!

For my card today I used the beautiful stencil included in the premium kit along with ink colors which are also in the premium kit. In the tutorial you will see just how easy it is to create with this stencil to get a beautiful background for your cards.
This is such a happy spring card. And let’s not forget about the enamel stickers included. How fun are those?
I really am smitten with how this card came out. is the tutorial for this card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.
Let’ not forget about my bonus card. I love using these transfer sheets from Hero Arts. They take your cardmaking to the next level. Now for this card, I ink blended Hero Arts Arctic, Paradise and Bermuda inks as a base for my transfer sheets. Transfer sheets are the Hero Arts Collage Backgrounds. Look how fantastic this background is and so easy. This transfer sheet looks like it was inspired by New York City street grid.
To add interest to the card, I pulled out my Hero Arts Luggage Fancy Dies to use with my NY inspired card. I mean I love a good trip to the city. That adorable bottom suitcase has beautiful line details from the Hero Arts texture cling stamp included in the kit.
The adventure awaits sentiment is from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit August 2022. That’s right, pull out your older kits and use them with newly released products.
Okay, let’s chat about giveaways. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, April 9th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
Next on the hop is Emily. Good luck everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.
