Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: November 2023 Challenge

Welcome to a new Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero Challenge! For November, we would love to see cards to thank a friend. Our friends do so many things, both big and small, that make them special in our lives, and they deserve our thanks. 

Here's some fabulous inspiration from our design team. You can follow the links below each card to discover even more inspiration from these talented artists.

Ceal Pritchett

  You can find Ceal on Instagram, Facebook, and her blog.

 You can find Essie on Instagram and her blog.

Jennifer Kotas

 You can find Kailash on Instagram.

We also have a special guest artist this month – Natasha Polite!

Natasha used the Flowers & Bees Bold Prints and coordinating stencils along with a sentiment from the Peonies Bunch stamp set.

You can find Natasha on her blog, on YouTube and on Instagram. Thank you so much for being our guest for November, Natasha!

Now it's your turn – how will you interpret the challenge theme? Use the InLinkz tool right at the bottom of this post to link up your newly created card (no backlinks, please), and you will be entered into our draw. We will be giving a $50 gift card randomly to one person who plays along, and another $50 gift card to one of our favourites!

To link up your new project that fits the challenge theme, you need to share it publicly somewhere you can copy the link – this can be your blog, Instagram, a Flickr account, your Splitcoast gallery – anywhere that allows you to have a URL or website location to link up, and where we can see your post.

All products are welcome, but if you want to be in with a chance to win, please use at least one Hero Arts designed product (stamp – physical or digital, stencil, die, rub-on or hot foil plate).

Entries must be submitted by December 3rd at 5:00pm PT to be eligible for the giveaway. Scroll down to find the linkup. If you share your project on social media, we'd like you to use the #heroarts and #staycraftychallenge hashtags, please!

We love leaving comments on your entries, but sometimes that is not possible. Please be assured that we have visited each of your posts, whether it be a blog, Instagram, Flickr or somewhere else, but some platforms may limit comments or only allow comments from members. The best way to allow us to comment is to link up to your Instagram post. 

Enter our contest by linking your new project below! Please enter your name in the caption area. By linking your project, you are giving us permission to feature your card on our blog, social media or newsletter, crediting you as the artist.

In October, our challenge theme was "Holiday! Celebrate!", and the gallery was filled with festive cards!

Our random winner of a $50 Hero Arts voucher is SentSue with this fun, clean and simple Halloween card!

Our Design Team favourite winner of a $50 Hero Arts voucher is Berina with this gorgeous Christmas card.
