Hello everyone, it is Natasha here and I am super excited for my first post on the Hero Arts blog as a Creative Team member!

I started by smooshing the ink pad onto my surface, then spritzing the ink with water, then dipping the paper into the ink. Next I dried the i ..read more

Hello creative friends! This is Rachel Kleinman here for my first official Hero Arts blog post (internally screaming!)! Today I'll be sharing two very different cards using the same featured items: the Winter Town Cheer stamp set and Tag Infinity Dies. First I'll start with the gold and silver card.

Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here. Thank you for stopping by! Today I am sharing a card I created showcasing the Falala Bold Prints stamp and Gold Trim Ornaments Hero Transfers.  To create my card, I adhered a 4" x 5.25" Gold Glitter Paper panel to an A2 Cherry cardstock card base.

I adhered the orname ..read more
