Hi friends! Time for another My Monthly Hero Release for May with a blog hop and a **GIVEAWAY**. It’s also time to turn on a bit of the sunshine, bring out some rainbows and share some happy thoughts and you know, I’m pretty sure that was what Hero Arts had in mind when they came up with this entire collection. So many fabulous images that it will be hard to decide which one you need first. (All items are available for purchase at the bottom of this post.) So let’s start with a project from the actual kit.
How fun are those designs? Gah!! I’m going to be playing for awhile!
So here is everything you will get in this amazing kit:
Kit includes:
6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
7 Coordinating Frame Cuts,
7 Envelope Art Icon Fancy Dies
3 Karin DecoBrush Metallic Markers (Gold, Pink & Blue)
5 White A7 Envelopes
5 White A2 Envelopes
Kit Value is $79.99, Kit Cost is $34.99. As always, this Main Kit is only available while supplies last. Once it’s gone, it is not replenished. Add-ons will continue to be restocked however. Interested in a kit subscription so that you will never miss out on these wonderful monthly collections? Check out the Subscription icon at the end of this post.
PLEASE NOTE: Hero Arts remains closed due to the shelter-in-place order. We have only limited capabilities at this time. Currently we estimate that shipping will begin on May 15, and continue until all boxes have shipped. We are so appreciative that so many have continued to order despite knowing we have long delays. Thank you for your patience, support, and kind wishes. It means the world to us, and we send love and appreciation your way.
So here’s a few items I created using this kit. Not certain why I felt this collection screamed Retro 60’s to me, but I ran with it. I love that era! Lots of different ways to color and create with these images. I wanted happy and bright pastels. I used Copic markers for coloring the images. Super easy card, btw.
And of course, no card is complete without the envelope. I had to decorate the back and the front because these images were just adorable!
Sometimes the smallest details make a difference. I love adding light gray shading to the designs. It makes them appear dimensional.
And for those of you who might have missed the sneak peek image from HA, here is what I created using the plane and clouds. The word “you” was cut from one of the sentiments.
The background was created with Blue Hawaii and Pool Party Reactive Inks using a blending tool and spritzed with water.
Since I showcased several cards from the Main Kit, I thought I might throw in a card from the add-ons because the designs are just as nice! I will be posting more in the coming days on instagram. Hope you will follow me there! (And if you don’t already follow me here, think of clicking on the subscribe box.) This is a really sweet Heart Tree Stamp and Die-cut. So many ways to work this one. I hope to get another one up this week. I’m thinking classic and gold!
Well there you have the Main Kit release and one new add-on set. More to come! If you are continuing with the blog hop, next up is Heather Nichols. I am certain she has some amazing cards to share! And, don’t forget to enter the Giveaway.
We will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, May 10th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
XO,
Debi

I love the postcard. Balloons are fun. TFS
AWESOME kit, Awesome creations! I love those colorful envelopes too!
Lovely cards. I never thought about embellishing the envelope like you did. Wouldn’t that get caught up in the postal machinery? Great idea for hand delivered cards though.
Cute and pretty card designs.
Love the postcard. Great cards.
I love all these super cards with their wonderfully fun images and sentiments along with decorated envelopes. My favourite is the tree of hearts! Great work! Thanks so much for sharing! Take care! 🙂
The envelope! So well done.
Debi, your card are amazing! I love how colorful they are, and they way you photograph them really sets them off! I love the envelope too! I was wondering if you would dare risk mailing an envelope with a die cut on the outside, or if those are reserved for hand delivery. Anyway I just love what you did with this new release!
Love these cards, especially the last one with the tree and heart leaves! So bright and happy!
Love that heart tree!
Hi Debi 🙂 Love those cards…color palettes, compositions and depth!!! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂

A beautiful set of cards Debi, and such gorgeous colours too.
