2019 Summer Catalog Sneak Peek #3 + Giveaway

Hero Arts

Hello friends! For the third and final sneak peek before tomorrow’s Summer Catalog reveal, we're switching gears to die cutting, with a nod to our 45th anniversary celebration...

Say hello to the newest addition to our collection of script Fancy Dies, Anniversary Fancy Die (DI635). Joining "thanks", "happy", "birthday", and "hello" dies of the same style, the Anniversary Fancy Die will be one that you can turn to again and again when you want to create cards and scrapbooks for anniversaries. Try pairing it with stamped or die-cut numbers to customize the project!

Did you spy another new product? Also featured in today's peek is our From The Vault All Stamp Bold Prints (CG775), which combines a variety of throwback illustrations  from the early years of Hero Arts onto one 6" x 6" red rubber cling background stamp.

GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment on this post and we will randomly select a winner from the comments to receive a $25 gift certificate to the Hero Arts Online Store! Please comment by Wednesday, April 24 at 11:59pm PT.

Thanks for joining us today! We can't wait to see you back here tomorrow for the reveal of the entire Summer Catalog! Same time, same place.

Have a wonderful day,

    I love these little peaks into the catalog!!!! I am all about die cutting so anything or any words that can be die cut are probably my very favorite things!!! I can’t wait to order it and add it to my collection. I know, I know….people say, cut it out with your electronic die cutting machine, but I enjoy using the actual dies so much more.

  • Kirsten Freye Sykes

    Love the anniversary die!

  • Lori Anderson

    Finally, an anniversary die! I’ve been looking for either aa anniversary die or stamp and haven’t found any.

  • Lynn Wallick

    Horray…………. a bold anniversary die. I just love it!

  • Linda Kunsman

    so excited to see the new products and catalogue, and I do need this anniversary fancy die;)
