A new month is here and today we are excited to kick off the countdown to the release of the July My Monthly Hero Kits!

Hero Arts will be closed on Tuesday, July 4. You will be able to purchase the new kits and add-ons on Wednesday, July 5 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. In the meantime, the Creative Team will be right here, sharing lots of inspiration before the launch.

Let's jump right in with four wonderful cards! Who's up for some fresh air and a visit to the park?
