Hero Arts January 2025 Hero Studio Blog Hop & Giveaway

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

There's a new release at Hero Arts, and members of the Creative Team are hopping to celebrate! If you need to make some Valentine cards, this release is for you! 

For this first card, I cut the Love & Hearts Fancy Die many times from Luxe white watercolor paper and adhered them to a panel of watercolor paper. I sprayed the panel with pink, purple and red metallic spray and let it dry before cutting it down and adhering to a white card base. I cut the sentiment from gold glitter cardstock, layered it on a heart cut from vellum, and added some gold sequins.

 

For my 2nd card, I created a rainbow of hearts with the January Hero Studio Layering Stencils of the month. I added the envelope and the sentiment from the January Fancy Dies set, Floral Envelope.

For my 3rd project, I used the Folded Love Note Fancy Die to create this secret love note, held closed with a layered scalloped heart belly band.  

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Thursday, January 9 at 11:59pm PST, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win!

Valentine messages for Hero Arts

The January release from Hero Arts includes a stamp set that coordinates with the Sentiments Strips Fancy Die that was released last October (and you know how much I love that one!) So you know I had to cut some more coloured strips! No rainbow this time - I limited myself to red and pinks.
