Let's Celebrate: New Site, New Sale, New Favorite!

Hello friends, we're so glad you're here! What may seem like an ordinary Wednesday in October is actually a day we've been eager to share with you for quite some time. There's a whole lot of exciting news packed into this post – let's get right to it!

Look up, look down, look to the side, look all around heroarts.com. We're thrilled to invite you to explore a new, refreshed website experience! That's right, our Hero Arts home has been upgraded with a fresh look and new features to make it better than ever. Here are just a few things you'll notice:

  • clean, easy-to-use interface
  • improved search feature including dropdown results (both products and ideas) and predictive search
  • enhanced store functionality and organization
  • straightforward checkout – fast, smooth, and secure
  • handy events calendar
  • larger photos to show off the Creative Team's beautiful projects
  • a new home for our monthly Stay Crafty With Hero challenges
  • home page wave design – consider this a friendly "hello wave" from us to you each time you visit

We invite you to click around, check out the new digs, find creative inspiration, and let us know what you think. You can always click on the Hero Arts logo in the upper left corner to return to the home page.

Now this definitely calls for a celebration! How about a treat?

Now through November 5, take $10 off your Hero Arts online store order of $25 or more. Think of it as our way of saying thank you for your support! You do not need to enter a code at checkout – the single-use offer will be automatically applied to your cart after you've filled it with product totaling $25 or more. Now is the perfect opportunity to grab some items from your wish list, stock up on essentials like ink and cardstock, and prepare for all of your upcoming holiday crafting. As always, enjoy free domestic shipping on all orders of $50 or more!

We know you've been anxiously awaiting the results of our favorite kit poll in celebration of My Monthly Hero's 6th anniversary. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote! We love bringing these kits to you each month and look forward to all of the creativity that happens once the kits are in your hands.

Thousands of votes were cast and the results are in. The kit that received the most votes is none other than the January 2021 kit, with 24% of the total votes!

This means that clear stamps and dies closely related to the sold out January 2021 kit will be released in the Hero Arts 2022 Catalog. It won't "bee" long! If you missed out on these the first time around, you'll be able to add them to your collection in February when the new catalog launches. We look forward to seeing what you create with these rereleased beauties!

As promised, we also have some lucky prize winners to announce! Ten voters were randomly selected and will receive these new stamps and dies once they're produced. Congratulations to:

Emily Rochford
Michelle Noto
Mary Grutzmacher
Neda Kassem
Shelly Plesums
Shashi Christina Smith
Eileen Cunningham
Chris Soares
Virginia Weston
Tammy Ullman

And of course there's one big prize remaining. The lucky GRAND PRIZE winner will receive 1 year of FREE My Monthly Hero kits! Congratulations to Carol McDavid!! If you see your name listed above, please email info@heroarts.com to claim your prize, with the subject line "Kit Poll Winner".

Whew! That was a lot of excitement for one day. Thank you so much for stopping by to celebrate with us and thank you, always, for your continued support!

Happy stamping,
