Hey everyone. It's Dana here with you today sharing some watercolor inspiration. I haven't played with my Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors recently so it was a great opportunity to break them out and get creative. To create my card I pulled out a piece of watercolor paper and stamped the image from the new Magical Forest stamp set in Intense Black Ink. Before the ink could dry I...

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a card to share with you using the Succulent Bouquet stamp set.

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today, and I have some super graphic and clean inspiration to share with you using the new Line Art Flowers stamps and coordinating Frame Cuts.

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing my first post on the Hero Arts blog after my (very long) maternity leave!

I'm getting back into the...

Hi everybody! It's Maria here and I've got a bright, colorful, and just a little bit grungy card to share with you today. I love making grungy, distressed backgrounds and pairing them with bold images that will pop off of the background. For today's card I paired the You Shine stamp set with the Galaxy Peek-a-Boo Parts background stamp. I started out by ink-blending a piece of...

Hello there, Michelle here with a card to share using the US Mailbox Fancy Die that is an add-on to the May 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. Being in the UK, I wasn't sure what colour US mailboxes usually are, but I thought it would be fun to keep the mailbox white and have all the mail be colourful!  I started off by die cutting...

Hi! Today I'm playing along with our current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge, which encourages you to think outside the box and use a product in a way that it wasn't necessarily intended.

One of the newest additions to the Hero Florals line of stamps is the Lavender Bunch set that I'm featuring on my card today.

Then I colored in the images with watercolor paints. Next, I trimmed...
