2022 Catalog Sneak Peeks + Giveaway!

Hello and happy Friday! Today we are excited to begin showing you some sneak peeks from our 2022 Catalog, leading up to the full catalog reveal, product launch, and blog hop in just four days. That's right, on Tuesday, February 15 all of the newest products from our biggest release of the year will be available at Hero Arts retailers and in our online shop! Stay tuned to the blog to preview the newest of the new and enter yourself into our gift card GIVEAWAYS before the launch.

With the coming of Spring, it only seems fitting to start with a look at some of the lovely new floral offerings in the collection...

The card on the left showcases the Magnolia Branches Cover Plate (DF003), a background die that blooms with creative possibilities and fills an entire A2 card front. Envision looking up into the branches of a fragrant magnolia tree on a breezy Spring day, then color and layer this design to your heart's content. You could even make a shaker card with this magnificent die. The "Spring Greetings" message comes from the adorable new Color Layering Duckling (CM592) clear stamp set.

Moving onto the cheerful floral birthday card, we are delighted to bring you new Color Layering stencils that can be used on their own or paired with coordinating stamps and dies. Beautiful bouquets are a breeze to create with the 4-piece Color Layering Flowers in Vase Stencils (SA189) and Flowers in Vase (CM595) clear stamp set and Frame Cuts! You'll be able to create overlapping floral layers in endless color combinations. Take a look at the background of the card and notice the die-cut detail – isn't it lovely? The delicate design of the Floral Border Fancy Die (DF014) cuts into your paper and does not detach, for a look that's light and airy.

Now let's dive deeper into a few of the clear and cling stamps...

Koi Bunch (CM591), shown on the gorgeous card at left, is a new 4" x 6" clear set that includes a school of koi, lily pads, bubbles, a blossoming lily, and four messages. Watercoloring, alcohol marker coloring, ink blending, heat embossing...imagine all of the technique possibilities with these images! And that's just the beginning. Did you know the koi is a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good fortune? 

Hopping over to the final card today, we have two new stamps that will be perfect for your springtime projects! The charming Color Layering Bunny (CM589) 4" x 6" clear set allows you to stamp a realistic looking rabbit in a few easy steps, no special coloring required. Sentiments for Easter and Spring are included, making this an all-in-one essential for the season ahead. Last but not least, Veggie Medley Bold Prints (CG869) is stamped as a tone-on-tone background on this adorable card. It's safe to say this is Mr. Rabbit's favorite stamp in the entire catalog! We think you'll enjoy it too, whether you opt for a tone-on-tone look, detailed coloring, or heat embossing.

GIVEAWAY TIME! Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $25 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Wednesday, February 16 at 11:59pm PT.
