Hero Arts MMH August 2023 Release – PREMIUM KIT

August 7, 2023

Hello everyone and welcome to the blog. Today we are sharing the Hero Arts MMH for August 2023. I’m working the with Premium kit today. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. If you would like to start from the beginning, you can click here.

Our August release was inspired by a recent trip our owners took to Yosemite National Park! With dies to cut out trees, mountains, plateaus and fields of wildflowers, the amount of scenes that can be created is endless. In addition to these show-stopping dies, the full Premium Kit features a 4″ x 6″ stamp set full of messages, useful for a variety of card-giving occasions, or as inspirational embellishments on your mixed media projects.

There’s also a 3″ x 4″ stamp set full of blooming poppies. There are coordinating dies to cut out the flowers, too! Our Hero Transfers have been a huge hit this year, so we’ve packed the kit with four sheets of fabulous cactus rub-ons; use these on cards, planners, journal pages – you name it! EarthSafe Glitter is a fitting element to include in a kit celebrating nature; you’ll have the opportunity to try out our fully biodegradable gold glitter. Rounding out the Premium Kit are brass embossing powder, a gorgeous Two-Tone Shimmer Spray, and a sampling of premium cardstock in six beautiful colors.

• Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
• Poppy Clear Stamp Set, 3″ x 4″
• 7 Poppy Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4 Park Scene Fancy Dies
• 4 Sheets of Cactus Hero Transfers, 6″ x 8″
• 1 Sheet each of Papaya, Canary, Palm, Kiwi, Woodland and Mist Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• Brass Embossing Powder, 0.5 oz.
• Gold EarthSafe Glitter, 0.5 oz.
• Two-Tone Spray, 2 oz.

 

For my card today I have a tutorial to share. I tried to use as much as I could from the premium kit. You can also see my sneak peek card which I used even more products. The premium kit is full of extra inspiration for your cardmaking ideas. I didn’t have the Hero Arts Transfers in time to make the tutorial however they are a great way to add a colored image to your design without the hassle of coloring.

Like the introduction mentioned, this kit as well as the classic kit was inspired by Aaron’s Yosemite National Park trip. When nature inspires you, make a kit people. LOL

 

Color choices for these kits are fantastic. They capture all the colors we see in nature and truly remind me of a mid century modern vibe as well.

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

As we do each month, I create a card using the add-on products. Cactus Fancy Dies was my add-on for this month. The details in the largest cactus really is striking. Deciding how to display these die cuts on my card were super easy. Pulling out an older kit called Hot Stuff by Hero Arts and die cutting only the bottom half of the die, I was able to create adorable little pots for my plants to thrive in.

Pulling in strips of the cardstock from the kit, the mid century modern idea flowed with stripes behind my plants. By doing this it pulls your eyes directly to the plants. Each plant was die cut using the green cardstock from the kit and sprayed with the Two-Tone Green and Gold Metallic spray.

Using a white gelly roll pen, I pulled some white onto the pots by adding in color at the tops and bottoms. This card as such a great feel to me. Now let’s get into the giveaway. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, August 13th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Next on the hop is Emily. Have a great time hopping around and good luck with the giveaway!

Hero Arts MMH August 2023 Countdown

August 4, 2023

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Hero Arts MMH August 2023 countdown. This month’s kits will inspire you to get out and travel this summer. It’s full of beautiful images and dies along with coordinating sentiments.

Hero Arts MMH August 2023

Also this month you can really stretch your imagination with adding in some mix media elements to your card. For my card today I used the new Hero Arts Two-Tone Metallic Sprays with the Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors and Hero Arts Brass embossing powder.

I used to be very uncomfortable with mix media but now I feel like I can manage it.

My tip is to just not overthink it. Use products you are familiar with and take it from there. Then you can explore adding more products and techniques. See you back here on Monday for the full release. Take care!

Color Layering Watermelon Stencil

July 21, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m thrilled to be sharing this card with you today using the Color Layering Watermelon stencil from Hero Arts. This stencil is so much fun to use and look at those delicious watermelons.

Color Layering Watermelon Stencil

Using the stencil on Hero Arts Sand Cardstock gives a different look compared to me using white cardstock. It adds a little more richness to the colors. The colors I used were Hero Arts Peony, Azalea, Kiwi and Fresh Lawn.

After I inked blended my inks onto the sand cardstock using Hero Arts Medium Blending Brushes, I outlined the fruit using a W-3 Copic maker. A little bit of white splatter on the card using Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink gave the card some texture. Next I stamped a sentiment from the Lemonade Day stamp set and heat embossed in Hero Arts Detail White Embossing powder. Instead of adhering the card straight onto a card panel, laying in on a diagonal and trimming off the excess gave this card a unique look.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Who doesn't love an adorable mushroom stamp set? T Who doesn't love an adorable mushroom stamp set? The Hero Arts Hello Fungi stamp set is perfect for stepping into your fall card. With the beautiful line art of this stamp set, you can easily color this with your Copic markers or do what I did, and color it with your color pencils.
