Fresh Take: A Beachy Blend of Old and New

Welcome to Fresh Take—a brand-new series where we mix the best of both worlds: fresh new products and well-loved favorites! Each month, we’ll share inspiring ideas that pair new Hero Arts releases with older products you may already have in your stash.

It’s all about breathing new life into your collection—showing how creativity can unlock fresh possibilities. Whether you're looking to stretch your supplies or rediscover a past favorite, Fresh Take is here to spark your next crafty idea.

This breezy card is a perfect way to kick off the first Fresh Take—combining two brand-new products from the Summer by the Shore collection with a pair of timeless beachy favorites.

The new Sophisticated Shells Etched Die Set and the previously released Beach Frame Die Set the scene, while the Color Layering Waves Clear Stamp Set brings a subtle familiar charm to this coastal creation. A classic sentiment from Banner Days Stamp & Cut brings it all together—it's the perfect reminder that mixing old and new can make waves!

Whether you're reaching for a longtime favorite or trying something brand new, combining the two can bring fresh inspiration—and beautiful results—to every project.
