The 2022 Catalog is Here! Blog Hop + Giveaway

Our biggest release of the year is here! Our 2022 Catalog's 120 pages are packed with exciting new stamps, dies, stencils, tools, and more. We invite you to explore the products on our website, or take a digital stroll through our catalog below. You could add a printed copy to your order, it makes a wonderful idea book with all of the inspiration from our Creative Team. And if you have a favorite retailer that carries our products, we encourage you to support them! Look up Hero Arts retailers by visiting our Store Locator.

Before we share our blog hop list below, we thought we'd start the inspiration with some cards from a couple of our artists. These cards were created for the catalog and feature several of the new products. Jayne Nelson kicks us off with this beautiful card featuring Looking Glass Lily Pond as well as the handy new Looking Glass Circle & Square Frames. There are four new Looking Glass die sets in this release, as well and three different options for framing your mini Looking Glass artwork. The message is from Color Layering Cherries.

Jayne's beautifully colored and ink blended second card highlights the fiery new 4" x 6" clear stamp set Hot Stuff and coordinating Frame Cuts.

Next we're sharing a couple of creations from Kelly Rasmussen. Apple Slices Bold Prints sets the stage on this first card, which also includes a die-cut message from Friend Words Fancy Dies. The die set includes four word dies: "thanks", "friend", "hello", and "smile". They are sized perfectly for cards. 

Another set of word dies are the focal point on Kelly's gorgeous second card. She used "peace", "love", "&", and "prayers", but the set also includes "hugs" and "congrats", making Peace Words Fancy Dies a must-have useful message die set! We also love the soft stenciling Kelly added to her card with the Flower Circle Stencil.

As if there hasn't already been a bunch of wonderful inspiration from this release, we've also pulled together a blog hop featuring our Creative Team and some crafty friends. Hop along to see what these incredibly talented stampers have come up with, and leave comments along the way. We will give away THREE $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, February 20 at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you'll have to win!
