Hero Arts Blog

Here we are, at Day 5 of 2016 Summer Catalog sneak peek week! We hope you've enjoyed all the new goodies we've shared, and you're as excited about our new catalog as we are! Today we are sharing some of the new stamps from the "Adventure" section of the catalog.

We love to get out in the great outdoors during the summer, and these products are perfect for creating cards for your nature-loving friends and family, or documenting your outdoors adventures! There are stamps inspired by camping, roadtrips, days at the park, and even city adventures! Most of the images featured above are from CL958 The Adventure Begins, and that fabulous Explore Banner (H6166) is a woodblock stamp.

To see more of these Adventure stamps in action, visit the Creative Team members listed below. And comment here and on each of these Creative Team blogs – we will randomly select one winner from all of the comments to receive a $25 shopping spree in the Hero Arts store! Please comment by Sunday, April 17 at 11:59pm PST, and we’ll announce the winner the following week.

Hi there! We're popping in this afternoon to announce a giveaway winner from our April My Monthly Hero launch. Thanks so much to everyone who participated, checked out the cards on the designers' blogs, left lovely comments, and made this month's kit a smashing success!

The winner is Miriam Prantner, who commented on Joan Bardee's blog: "Great design with those petals and leaves peeking out of the top of the panel and that wrapping paper is just wonderful!" (April 5, 2016 at 5:21 am)

Congratulations, Miriam! Please email winner@heroarts.com to claim your April My Monthly Hero kit.

Although the April kit sold out quickly, we do have add-on stamps, dies and Daniel Smith watercolors still available in limited quantities. Find them all on the kit page.

Another great new set is CL948 Dapper Dad, perfect for those hard-to-make masculine cards, especially ones for dad.
