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.

For my card today, I used the new Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print along with a Butterfly Hero Transfer with the new Butterfly Fancy Dies. By stamping and heat embossing the bold print onto Hero Arts Black Watercolor paper, I was able to add shimmery watercolors to really make this card pop. The addition of be beautiful butterfly and sentiment make this cards so stunning!

For this card, I pulled the colors from the butterfly to make the background.

 

Here is the tutorial for today’s card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

 

For my next card, I used the stamp Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print but this time I stamped it in three shades of brown onto the Colors Of The Earth cardstock. For an extra pop of interest, I used the Nesting Oval Infinity dies to die cut a oval into the patterned cardstock so I could add a sparkly gold frame. By also laying a sentiment from the Empowerment Stamp set and popping that up with a gold sparkly backer, this card is absolutely stunning!

 

Look how pretty those butterflies are.

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.
