Hero Arts Spring Catalog Release 2023

February 20, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m super excited to share with you the new products from the Hero Arts Spring Catalog release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This catalog has so many amazing new products and the cover might just be one of my favorites. Be ready to be inspired. Let’s get into the cards.

For my first card I used the Color Layering Dove. This stamp set makes beautiful clean and simple cards. Paring it with a pretty Leaf and Floral stencil really made this card stand out.

Card two I went all out colorful with this card. I used the new Hero Arts Garden Critters.  This card was such a joy to make. By pairing it with a sunburst stencil also from Hero Arts, my card just screams spring.

For this card, I really wanted to make a bold statement and boy this card is a statement for sure. The background of this card was made using the new Hero Arts Overlapping Hexagon Bold Print. The pop of hot pink and gold really makes this cards shine. I kept the card simple by just adding a simple birthday greeting from the Hero Arts Yay! Birthday stamp set.

 

 

Now this one was so easy to make and I love how it turned out. The stamp set used on this card is the Hero Arts Plant Metaphor stamp set. Remember, if you have a stamp set with smaller images, create a beautiful background. By keeping the card layout really simple, your eye is drawn directly to the center of the card.

Okay for my last card, I used the beautiful Esaplier Fruit Tree Bold Print. By pairing it with a great birthday sentiment and candle, this card is a full celebration in it self. (Check out those blog colors) LOL The sentiment is from the YAY Birthday stamp set.

I hope I have inspired you with my cards today by using products from the Hero Arts Spring Catalog release. They really were so much fun to make. We would love to see what you create with the new spring catalog products. Make sure to tag Hero Arts on Instagram when you do.

Hero Arts Toucan No-Line Watercolor

July 19, 2022

Hey everyone. I’m sharing a simple no-line watercolor piece using the Hero Arts Toucan Bold Print.  I love this little guy. As you have heard me mention several times, I love watercoloring. It’s super peaceful for me to create and just let the water flow.

For this card, I first stamped the image with Hero Arts Contour ink onto Hero Arts Lux White watercolor paper. When using watercolor paper, you will need to stamp it multiple times since the paper has texture to it.

 

Now my toucan needed to be bright and vibrant in color. To help me achieve the color I wanted, I pulled out my mini palette of my favorite Daniel Smith watercolors. One thing to remember when doing no-line watercoloring, you can omit areas that you just don’t want to fill in with color or make certain images bigger by going outside of the line.

After I finished my watercoloring, I set the image aside to dry. Now it was time to trim down the piece and add a back panel that matched one of the colors int he painting. I used Hero Arts Peacock paper for my backer today.

The Peacock cardstock really pulled that gorgeous blue from the image out. Needing a simple sentiment, I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Hero Arts Cockatoo stamp set. Such a find sentiment for this card and others.

Thanks for stopping by today everyone. I hope I’ve inspired you to do a little bit of no-line watercoloring with Hero Arts products. Have a wonderful day and see you back here soon.
