February My Monthly Hero Countdown + Giveaway: Day 1
February is here and that means a new kit is on the way! Make that two kits. That's right, this is an especially exciting month as we are introducing our new Premium kit program! For each My Monthly Hero release going forward, there will be a Classic kit and a Premium kit. The Premium version includes all of the Classic kit contents PLUS exclusive products for even more creativity in the box. We will have much more to share about the program and new subscription options in just three days! Both kits, along with some wonderful add-ons, will be available on Monday, February 6 at 10am PT.
To get the countdown rolling, the Creative Team has some gorgeous inspiration to share with you today! You will notice that some of their projects feature Premium kit elements, while some stick to the Classic kit. To make it easy for you to distinguish between the two, we've added a gold badge to any project that uses at least one Premium element. As always, we encourage you to check out the blog links below each photo for more details from the artists. Remember to comment at the end for a chance to win a kit too!

I don’t have credit cards, and PayPal has been my only way to pay for things if online shopping.
However, for reasons unknown, Hero Arts does not currently accept PayPal.
I hope that changes soon, because I *Really *Wanted to purchase this kit before the end of January, so I could qualify for the bonus kit deal.
Now, unfortunately I can’t purchase the kit, because there is no way for me to do it.

Mele
February 03, 2023
In the past, the creators of these cards would give an overview of how they created their cards. Do you think Hero Arts will go back to that format? We already see a picture on the Hero Arts website and read their advertising info…the many times clicking the creators links only to see another photo and, for the most part, read the same info. Their cards are very beautiful…hearing how they made them would be most welcome — like it used to be — more about creativity less about business. Thanks!
