Hero Arts September 2022 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello! The September 2022 My Monthly Hero kit and add ons from Hero Arts are now available. There are two more hot foil plates in this release as well! I love all things autumn so I’ve got five cards to share with you today.

Autumn is a whisper in the air, with hints of cooler weather, falling leaves, and rich colors. Our September My Monthly Hero release takes an elegant path into fall, featuring a gorgeous vase of fall blooms as the focal point for your cards and projects. There’s also a fun new element this month – rub-ons! Use them for quick and easy cards; the coordinating die in the kit perfectly cuts out the rub-on floral arrangement as well as the stamped images. Or try the rub-ons on any smooth surface. The kit is rounded out with a gorgeous new cling stamp, metallic floss and the perfect neutral cardstocks for stamping your autumn-inspired creations.
