We've Added a New Creative Team Member!

Today we are over the moon excited to announce the latest addition to the Hero Arts Creative Team! She has joined us multiple times for blog hops when we've released new products. She's incredibly creative and talented. We are thrilled to welcome Nichol Spohr to the Hero Arts family!

Here's a little more about Nichol:

Hi stampers! I'm Nichol Spohr and I've been paper crafting for about 19 years and have been involved in the paper crafting industry in some fashion since 2002. I started out as a scrapbooker who dabbled with stamping and over the years have evolved into a card maker who uses stamps on just about every single thing I create! I'm passionate about stamping and die cutting and getting the most out of my supplies. I enjoy sharing, inspiring, and teaching and regularly share video tutorials on my YouTube channel. I’m thrilled to be designing for Hero Arts, the company that I first purchased stamps from to use in my paper crafting!

We asked Nichol to share some of her favorite Hero Arts cards with us, here is a sampling...

This first set of cards features products from our popular June release, including the Seas the Day Seagulls stamp set, and Wave & Sea Confetti Die. The little fish popping out of the waves are so adorable!

This next card showcases our Color Layering Elephant along with the Thorn Tree and Grasses and Safari Sunset Fancy Dies. We love how Nichol put it all together, coloring the die cut pieces with Liquid Watercolors. And who doesn't love a baby elephant holding a balloon while out for a walk with his mama on the African savannah?

And finally, a fun card to put you into the holiday spirit on a hot summer day! This card features the North Pole Sign Stamp & Cut. And those little elves are adorable, colored expertly by Nichol. Our favorite part? The snowy background, which Nichol took the time to stamp using the tiny snow stamps included in the Nice Elves set!

To see more of Nichol's beautiful work please visit her blog HERE.

Welcome to the team, Nichol! We cannot wait to see what else you'll be sharing with us!
