Partners: Altenew + A Giveaway!
You've already loved our Partners releases with Concord & 9th, Gina K. Designs, Pinkfresh Studio and Lawn Fawn. It's time for another release, and we are thrilled & honored to have collaborated with our friends at Altenew for the latest Partners stamp set! A special "Partners" Hero Arts + Altenew 6x8 clear stamp set is available on our website starting today, and will be at a retailer near you beginning November 6th! The PR105 HA + Altenew Bloom & Grow stamp set features a gorgeous, gigantic flower bloom and leaves, as well as seven beautiful mixed-font messages.
Jennifer Rzasa from Altenew introduces the stamp set, and shares a wonderful splatter technique, in the video below.

How about some more inspiration? Kelly Rasmussen from our team created an beautiful card to showcase the Bloom & Grow stamp set. Take it away, Kelly!
The gorgeous flower in this set is great for coloring, but I wanted to show how amazing it can be stamped as a simple outline image as well.
First, I created an ink blended background using Hero Arts Reactive Inks. I blended Fruit Punch, Taffy, Creamsicle and Lemon Drop inks with a blending brush to create the smooth gradient of color. Then I spritzed the panel with some gold shimmer spray.
Next, I stamped the flower, leaves and sentiment with Intens-ified Black Ink.
I offset mounted the stamped panel to piece of Pitch Black cardstock, then to a Dove White Folded Card. And for a finishing touch I added a scattering of black Enamel Dots. I love the smaller sizes of these accents -- they are great for clean and simple cards!

A great big thank you to Altenew for celebrating this amazing industry with us! Happy stamping!
Really pretty flower…love the unique ways you used it.
The Bloom and Grow set is gorgeous. I love the beautiful ink blended background on this card.
At first I thought this really isn’t my style, but I really liked the finished card. I’m definitely going to have to play around at home and see what I can do.
Wow, what a stunning set!! This looks amazing without being colored and I know it is going to look fabulous when it is colored!
I love this stamp. It is simply beautiful. However it is a little too high in price for me. I’ll have to wait for a big sale before I can own it. Maybe at Christmas?
