Hero Arts Spring 2012 Catalog!
Monday, February 6th, 2012Hi everyone, it’s Lisa here, and oh do I have a week for you! You see, last week at CHA, the BIG craft and hobby trade show, Hero Arts released THREE new catalogs for spring: Hero Arts Spring 2012, Hero Arts-BasicGrey Spring, and Hero Arts-Studio Calico Spring! I’m going to introduce you to each one, starting today with the Hero Arts Spring 2012 Catalog!
This catalog features new Add Your Message Sets, new clear stamps, new cling, and new Art of the Card! Check them all out right here in the digital Spring 2012 Catalog.
See those two cards on the cover? Sally made both of them — love what she did with the Frame Cuts and stamps, don’t you? Did you know that stamps are marked to show which stamp goes with which Frame Cut? Find a handy guide on the last page of the Spring Catalog or on the Frame Cuts page.
Since die cuts are the technique for the monthly contest I just had to create a card using the OTHER cupcake stamp that goes with the Frame Cut — the Zig Zag Cupcake! (Pssst, have you entered the contest yet? There’s still plenty of time!)
Card by Lisa Spangler. Click for complete materials and instructions.
Here are the two NEW clear sets that I used: Be Happy (CL606) on the right, and Together (CL607) on the left:
These sets are really fun! I used the friends message from the Be Happy set, and I stamped the zig zag stamp with the new Unicorn ink repeatedly to make the background, then embossed it in clear for a subtle texture that goes with the cupcake. Oh and the doily under the cupcake? It’s the frame from the Together set! Love it when you can use the same stamp many ways.
Wondering when you can get your hands on these new stamps? Well, they’ll start arriving in stores starting February 15th, and will be in the Hero Arts online store starting March 1st! Why the delay? Because Hero Arts supports local stores: orders placed in the Hero Arts online store are fulfilled by local stores!
See you tomorrow when I’ll be back to share another new catalog,
