Happy Monday everyone! Grab your favorite beverage, and get comfy because I’ve got a lot of fun things to share with you today.

It’s a new month and that means a new challenge! We have three fun options for you…

It’s time to break out all your adorable creature stamps this month! Butterflies, owls, foxes, deer…they all make cute additions to your project.  And they would all be great for creating cards for kids and coordinate perfectly with our monthly technique of Making a Scene. We have many stamps that are great for creating scenes…the Clouds background, Designer Woodgrain and Tree Trunks just to name a few.  Or maybe you’d like to get a jump start on some Holiday cards and create a snowy scene using some snowflakes and Christmas trees. You can check out our monthly calendar and full challenge details HERE. As always, we have fourteen $50 Hero Arts shopping sprees up for grabs this month!

This week the Design Team is sharing some projects with you to give you some inspiration for our new contest. First up, Sheri Reguly has created this adorably fun card that could fit into to all three of our monthly themes. The Clouds background, the die cut sun and that dainty green scalloped border create such a cute little scene.

Created by Sheri Reguly.  Find complete supplies and instructions here.

The gorgeous butterfly used on Sheri’s card is from the Butterflies and Print cling stamp set from the Out of Print collection. And it is also our Stamp of the Week! You can get it for 25% OFF ($9.00) this week only in the Hero Arts Online Store. (Offer ends Sunday, August 7th. No promo code required.)

Next up, Jennifer has created a video demonstrating the new Hero Arts and Sizzix line of coordinating cling stamps, embossing folders, and die cuts!  Take a look and see just how user friendly these products are to use.

You can check out all of these wonderful products in the digital catalog. They will be available in the Hero Arts Online Store beginning September 22nd.

Tomorrow we’re switching gears a bit…be sure to come back for a mini blog hop featuring our new holiday stamps!

Have a great day!
