Celebrating Black History Month

February 1, 2023

Hello everyone and welcome to the Hero Arts CommUNITY. My card today is featuring the Rainbow Heroscapes  from the Hero Arts Unity Collection. This collection is very near and dear to my heart. With this being the first day of Black History Month, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase the Unity Collection.

 

Hero Arts Unity Collection

The story behind the Unity Collection started off with a conversation between Hero Arts, Pocono Pam and myself. There was a need for people of color to feel included in the paper crafting community as there were many spaces where people of color were  unrepresented as contributing artist to the community. In a conscious effort Hero Arts wanted to intentionally add diversity and inclusive within their brand.

Representation is so important, as 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 are all one united creative community!

Out of these efforts, we created the Celebrating Black Crafters feature for the Hero Arts blog. This feature celebrated black crafters who might has felt they were not seen or represented in the industry that they love so much. By having this feature, we had the chance to meet amazing crafters and see just how much they contribute to the arts and crafts community.

 

 

Expanding this celebration was inspiring. We now have the monthly CommUNITY Feature. CommUNITY is about embracing and honoring the creativity of individuals who are often underrepresented. By sharing art from a diverse group of creators, we hope to not only bring inspiration to this papercrafting community we all love so much, but also support and empower individuals to be their authentic selves as they create and share.

Let’s celebrate Black History Month Together. I hope you are inspired to create this month using products from the Hero Arts Unity Collection. We thank you for your support over the years and can’t wait to share more products and card making inspiration with you. Remember, this collection is not just for people of color. It’s here for all to enjoy and share your authentic self with the word.

The Hero Arts brand was founded on the ideas of integrity, innovation, and community. This is evident as their products support and empower individuals to be their authentic, creative selves. Pam and I thank you Hero Arts, for continuing to be an essential part of our creative community.

The CommUNITY feature is about embracing and honoring the creativity of individuals who are often underrepresented.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero December 2022 Release

December 5, 2022

Hey it’s the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero December 2022 release day. I can’t believe we are already to the last kit for 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This month we invite you to go on a celestial fantasy adventure with us! Our December release is full of stars, galaxies, moons and clouds. The playful December My Monthly Hero kit, with its adorable space cadets, is perfect for birthdays, encouragement, or simply sending a friendly hello. The kit includes a jam-packed 6 x 8 stamp set with coordinating dies. There’s also the perfect cling stamp for your interstellar backgrounds, a gorgeous Rose Gold pigment mini ink pad, and four half sheets of our ever-popular Pitch Black cardstock!

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero December 2022

Galaxy overload on this card for sure. LOL I used Hero Arts Deep Ocean and Amethyst Core Inks for the background. For the black piece in the middle, I used Hero Arts Black Watercolor Paper with Iuille metallic watercolors. You will see in the tutorial just how perfect these Hero Arts inks work with these metallic watercolors

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you.

 

For my bonus card today I used the Hero Art Orbit stamp set. Using the Hero Arts Oval Infinity Dies, I created a mask to first blend on Hero Arts Azalea and Lemon Drop inks in the center of a piece of Hero Arts Dove White Cardstock. Once the blending was complete, I started on the background.

Hero Arts Orbit Stamp Set

Using the oval that was cut out, I place it over the colorful area so I could blend the background.  The background of this card was made using Hero Arts Licorice Reactive Ink along with the Hero Arts Shimmer Spray in Iridescent. Next it was time to heat emboss the Orbit stamp onto the colorful oval using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder.

I really love how this card came out. A small sentiment stamped on Hero Arts Papaya Cardstock in Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment ink and heat embossed in clear embossing powder.

To finish off the card, I used a few little iridescent stars I had in my stash and placed this panel on a side folding Dove White card base. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, December 11th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Thanks for stopping by everyone. Next on the hop is Daniel. Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you back here soon.
