Creative Team Rewind!

Creative Team Rewind Banner It’s time once again for the Hero Arts Creative Team Rewind – when we highlight beautiful creations that our talented Creative Team members have shared on their blogs and Flickr. This month we have lots of variety to share using the 2017 Spring Catalog new releases and February My Monthly Hero add-ons (which are still available). We are excited to inspire you.

First up is Yana with a card featuring the CM127 Coloring Layering Koi stamp set and DI354 coordinating dies. We love how she created this sweet scene around the circle opening. This is a great way to create a high impact focal point on your card.

Michelle had fun with the February My Monthly Hero kit CM152 Fun in the Rain stamp set and DI371 coordinating dies. The images in this set are so cute and we love how she she used the DC149 Congrats Stamp & Cut set to make this into a new baby card.

This beauty from Clare makes us think of Spring! The CM130 Color Layering Hydrangea stamp set has gorgeous images (and DI355 coordinating dies) that can be layered to make realistic looking bouquets like Clare did on her project. Pairing these products with the CL953 Mason Jar Bug stamp set and DI172 coordinating Dies was a clever way display the flowers.

Jayne created a stunning anniversary card by brass embossing the Love Little Heart stamp onto a black cardstock tag and stamping the Antique Rose Stem around the edges of the card in black. With a change of sentiment, this design would work beautifully as a wedding card as well. Simple elegance is always in style and Jayne has perfected it.

Next up is Jess with a card using the CM148 Bon Appetit stamp set from the 2017 Catalog. Didn’t she create the most scrumptious looking macarons? Such a fun and cheerful card.

Do you struggle with using small images on your cards? May doesn’t as she shows us a fun way to stamp multiple images to create a fun background for a card. CM147 French Treats is the stamp set that May used to make this card. A little bit of coloring adds just a pop of color to this card.

Last but not least are these fun cards from Amy. She also used the CM147 French Treat set and had fun with the CM145 Ooh La La stamp set. So fun!
