Hero Arts | My Monthly Hero February 2023 Release + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the release of the Hero Arts February My Monthly Hero Kit and and add-on products. This month is all about butterflies! We also have the exciting launch of our new premium kit too. More on that later as well as blog hop information. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My first card today uses the Hero Arts February My Monthly Hero Kit Premium. I already shared a card using the Classic Kit, which you can see here. 

I started off my card by die cutting a Hero Arts Tag Infinity Die from Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock. I then stamped the script stamp from the Hero Arts Background Texture Strips Stamp Set (an add-on set this month) on top, multiple times using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. 

Using Hero Arts Ink Blending Brushes, I first blended on Hero Arts Splash Reactive Ink. I then added Hero Arts Blue Hawaii Reactive Ink, just in some parts for some added interest. I took the Butterfly Hero Transfers that are in the Premium Kit and applied them to Hero Arts Classic Vellum Layering Paper. I die cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the tag with tiny dabs of Hero Arts Precision Glue behind their bodies only. 

I took the sentiment from the kit stamp set (part of a larger sentiment) and stamped it on to Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the tag with thin foam tape. I added twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow before adhering the tag on to a US A2 sized white card base with more thin foam tape. 

My next card uses two of the new add-ons sets. I started off by die cutting the first layer of the Hero Arts Looking Glass Butterfly Die from a panel of white cardstock. I then cut the other two layers from Hero Arts Passion Flower and Amethyst Cardstock respectively. 

The panels were adhered together, adding a panel of Hero Arts Iris Cardstock as the back layer. The panel was then adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. I die cut the square frame from the Hero Arts Looking Glass Circle and Square Frames Die Set from white cardstock twice. 

I layered them up using Hero Arts Precision Glue before adhering to the card. I took the sentiment from the Hero Arts Monarch & Milkweed Stamp Set and stamped it on to Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and added to the card with thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Iridescent Bubbles.
