Thank you to Hero Arts

 It's Time For Hero Arts 



A long time company in the stamping industry, Hero Arts remains a mainstay in the rubber stamping community.  We are so grateful that Hero Arts continues to support our blog by sponsoring us year after year. 

Time for some inspiration from the Die Cut Divas

Dawn used some older stamps in her card 


Arlene used a couple of Hero Arts Classic Kits that she thought would never be used for Valentine cards, but those owls are so cute with a sky so blue.  You can see which kits she used for her card here.

Linda made a sweet card with Hero's Berry Basket Bundle.
Details and a bonus here.


Sue used the With Sympathy Bundle to create her non-traditional Valentine's 
card. For details on how the card came together, check out her foleysfriend blog.

 This uses a very old Hero Arts cling stamp.  I stamped in black ink and clear embossed so I could do a bit of embossed resist to colour the flowers.

Puzzle Valentine

 Hello there,

Cindy here to share another Non-Traditional Valentine Card.  I chose green/white/kraft with gold for my card.


The puzzle pieces were die cut using Hero Arts Puzzle Fancy Die.  I cut three times and stack them up so that they're as think as chip board.  The pattern paper is die cut with a rectangle stitch die, the sentiment from an older Hero Arts stamp set is white heat embossed.

Our challenge is sponsored by Hero Arts this month, and the theme is: Non-traditional Valentine Card.  Challenge winner will receive a $25 gift card to their store.


For detail supply list, visit me at Escape To Stamping.

Now it's your turn, create a non-traditional Valentine card and play along.  Have fun!  But remember to add die cut and/or dry embossing to your project to qualify for the prize drawn, and add a link back to our challenge blog in your blog post.

Bye for now.
