Hero Arts | Hero Studio March 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Hero Arts today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the Hero Studio March 2025 release. Out today is the Card Kit of the Month, Clear Set & Dies of the Month, Fancy Dies of the Month, Layering Stencils of the Month, and Cling of the Month. You can also purchase the Whole Studio which includes all of the kits and a free gift. Today, I am focussing on the Card Kit and Cling of the Month.  

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

HERO STUDIO CARD KIT OF THE MONTH

I started off my card by die cutting the Bellini and Tutu cardstock that comes in the Hero Studio March 2025 Card Kit of the Month into strips. I then adhered them to a panel of Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock to create a gift/present. 


I stamped the bow from the Bow Tag Clear Stamp Set in the kit onto Wild Berry Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts Detail White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was die cut out using the coordinating die. This die cuts the bow into a tag, so I simply just cut the top piece with the hole off using scissors. 


I cut a strip of Wild Berry cardstock and adhered it to the gift/present using Hero Arts Precision Glue, to look like ribbon wrapped it. I then stamped the 'for you' sentiment onto Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. It was cut onto a strip using the banner die in the Hero Arts Winter Wishes set. 


I punched a hole in the top and cut the top to look like a tag shape. I threaded DMC Metallic Thread through it and adhered it to the top of the gift/present. The bow was then adhered on top using thin foam tape. To finish, I adhered a square card base to the back of the panel to make it into a card. I think this would make a great design for a gift card holder!

HERO STUDIO CLING OF THE MONTH




It was cut into a heart using the Hero Arts Heart Infinity Dies. Using Large Ink Blending Brushes, I blended Hero Arts Core Inks in Cotton Candy and Ultra Pink on top. I removed any excess ink from the embossing powder with a cloth. I then added little dots to the panel with Copic Markers. 


I adhered a strip of Hero Arts Ultra Pink Cardstock onto the panel with Hero Arts Precision Glue and then die cut the bow from the Hero Studio March 2025 Fancy Dies of the Month from the same cardstock. I added Copic Marker to the back piece of the bow to make it darker. The pieces were adhered together first and then adhered onto the card with thin foam tape. 


I die cut another heart from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Bows & Messages Clear Stamp Set in the Hero Studio March 2025 Card Kit of the Month on top. I used Hero Arts Ultra Pink Core Ink for the 'happy' and Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink for the 'birthday to you'. I scored across the top of the heart to create a hinge and also cut a little off the bottom of the heart (to help the card stand up). I added adhesive to the hinge and then adhered it to the back of the front panel to create a heart shaped card. To finish, I added a Spellbinders Berry Color Essentials Gem to the bow.
