2021 Catalog Sneak Peek #1 + Giveaway

We have so many exciting things planned for you in the year ahead and it all starts with our new 2021 Catalog! Beginning today, we'll be sharing sneak peeks leading up to the big catalog reveal this Friday, January 15. You'll want to stay tuned to the blog all week long to see the newest of the new, as well as a gift card GIVEAWAY each day!

Are you ready for your first glimpse into the catalog? Here we go...

A happy hello to several new products! Let's break it down and start with the wonderfully colorful card on the left, where Diamond Infinity Dies (DI840) provide a graphic background with some clever nesting. This staple set is filled with endless possibilities and contains 10 diamond dies measuring from the largest at 3.75" x 5.0" to the smallest at 0.38" x 0.5".

The sentiment on the card is a combination of die-cutting and stamping, thanks to the Happy Thanks Stamp & Cut XL (DC282) set. That's right - XL! You'll love the new larger format Stamp & Cut sets that include a 4" x 6" clear set instead of the usual 3" x 4", plus large die-cut words. These make a big impact and will allow you build tons of custom phrases for your cards when you mix and match the die with 14 different sentiment stamps.

Moving onto the card on the right, we have another die-cut message peeking out of a darling envelope. The die-cut comes from the Hello There Stamp Cut (DC284), which includes a clear 3" x 4" clear set with 9 sentiment stamps. And the envelope? You may recognize it! That's because it was part of our January 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. Customers voted it as their favorite kit of the year and as promised, we've brought back all of the stamps and dies from the kit and added them to the catalog! Envelope Accessories Fancy Dies (DI857) is one of them. You'll also find beautiful bouquet elements in die-cut form, as well as a charming 4" x 6" clear set with wonderful versatility.

We can't forget that lovely script background stamp! You'll see Script Bold Prints (CG830) featured often throughout the catalog because our Creative Team fell head over heels in love with it. The style lends lends itself to a wide variety of techniques and occasions, and the large 6" x 6" Cling format makes it extremely versatile. Red rubber goodness at its best.

GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select one winner to receive a $20 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop! Please comment by Sunday, January 17 at 11:59pm PT, and we’ll announce the winners the following week.

Look for our 2021 Catalog products to start hitting the shelves at your favorite retailers later this month, and in the Hero Arts online shop on February 17. If your favorite retailer doesn’t carry Hero Arts – be sure to let them know that you’d like them to!

We’ll be back tomorrow with another look at the new goodies, and another giveaway. See you then!

I am enjoying learning more about your company and products. I had a rocky start with a few orders but your Customer Service is great! I am looking forward to these new releases as Covid has me making so many cards! Those Diamonds have Laura Fadora all over them, can’t wait to see more of her rainbow work with them! I am on the lookout for large sentiments as our Church Card Ministry group sends so many cards to shut-ins who need larger greetings, sentiments, and messages. Thank you!

Sylvie Simpson,
