The 2021 Catalog is Here - Blog Hop + Giveaway!

All of us at Hero Arts are bursting with excitement today - it's finally the day we are releasing our 2021 Catalog Collection in the Hero Arts store ! There are so many wonderful new products to choose from, including new HeroScapes and Color Layering stamp sets, fun and useful Stamp & Cut messages, an adorable new line of paper dolls called Hero Lifestyles, new additions to our Unity Collection, a new partnership with Reverse Confetti, new colors of Reactive and Pigments inks, our own Blending Brushes, and so much more!!

Want a closer look at the products as well as card samples featuring this new release? We filmed a video tour of our tradeshow booth! Of course there were no in-person tradeshows this year, but we recently participated in a virtual version. Libby set up a booth wall in her craft room! It's a fun look at all of the new products - check it out below, or over on our YouTube channe l .

Further down this post you'll want to join us for an amazing blog hop, full of inspiration from our talented team of artists (and did we mention there are fabulous prizes!?) But before we hop, here's Kelly to share some of the new goodies...

Hello! I'm so excited to join in on the fun today celebrating the release of some amazing new products! I've got two cards to share using some new background stamps that work perfectly with our Peek-A-Boo line of products .

First up is the Flower Shop Background Cling . The details included in this stamp are incredible. A great one for those who love coloring! My favorite part is the cat sitting on the awning of the flower shop. :)

And for my other card I used the Butterfly Garden Background Cling . I white heat embossed the image and colored it with watercolors. Such a great image for spring and summer cards!

These background stamps pair perfectly with some of our existing Peek-A-Boo products. I die cut the Flower Shop card using the Peek-A-Book Doors Fancy Die and used messages from the All My Heart Peek-A-Boo Parts stamp set.

For the Butterfly Garden card, I die cut the doors using the Circular Peek-A-Boo Doors Fancy Die and included messages from the Wish Big Peek-A-Book Parts stamp set.

For some of the small doors, I like to use sequins or other small embellishments for an extra surprise. These interactive cards are a joy to make and fun for the recipient to open!

Would you like a paper copy of the Catalog? We have those available today too! Get yours here.

And now it's time to hop! We've gathered together a wonderful list of artists who are sure to inspire. And, it wouldn't be a proper launch without some prizes! We are giving away *three* $50 shopping sprees to random winners who comment along the hop.

Comment on as many blogs as you'd like - more comments means more chances to win! Comment by Wednesday February 24th at 11:59pm Pacific, and we'll announce the winner on the Hero Arts blog. Happy hopping!
