Creative Team Rewind!

Creative Team Rewind Banner

Hello and welcome to our Creative Team Rewind, where we recap some of the fantastic cards our creative team has been sharing outside of the Hero Arts blog! With February right around the corner, this month we are featuring Valentine's projects! First up is Amy with this fabulous card featuring  hero_product_link sku="DC175"]. We love how she used a heart mask with the "happy valentine's day" message to create her background for the "love" die-cut! So clever!

Happy Valentine's Day by Amy Tsuruta for Hero Arts

We have a few beautiful projects to share from Jayne, she's been creating up a storm of Valentine's cards! For this first card, she actually die cut the heart from hero_product_link sku="DC176"] out of craft foam, and used that to stamp! We love how she paired it with hero_product_link sku="DC145"] - those labels look fantastic on her pretty Valentine!

The next card from Jayne is absolutely gorgeous! We love how she combined our Eiffel Tower stamp (which will be back in our store very soon!) with the striped heart from  hero_product_link sku="DC172"] - stamps you wouldn't necessarily think of when making Valentine's cards! And the background on this card? Dreamy!

You Are My Happy by Jayne Nelson

Speaking of stamps you wouldn't necessarily think of for Valentines - look at this!! Jayne used those sweet little sheep from  hero_product_link sku="CL884"], a favorite from our Holiday release! And the sentiment shared between the sheep just makes us smile! You can find it in the  hero_product_link sku="CL923"] set.

I Love Your Face by Jayne Nelson

And one more card, this time from Mariana - and it's a beauty! It's fun to see a purple Valentine, rather than the usual pink or red. Mariana really made our  hero_product_link sku="F6123"] woodblock stamp shine. And that brass-embossed sentiment? Gorgeous!!

Love You So Much by Mariana Grigsby

Thank you for all of the wonderful Valentine's inspiration, ladies! We really love it. xoxo
