Hero Arts February 2023 MMH Blog Hop and Giveaway

Welcome to the February 2023 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero blog hop and giveaway! This is an extra special month because Hero Arts is introducing their new Premium kit. You can learn all about this new kit below. If you are a current subscriber you will receive the premium kit free for the month of February. There are kits available if you don’t subscribe. If you wish to subscribe or upgrade your subscription you can do that HERE.

Hero Arts truly outdid themselves with this months kits. I had so much fun using the inks and stencils. It has been many years since I’ve used rub ons but I was impressed with the quality of them.

My tutorials are very brief this month since I’m sharing six cards and there’s so much more info to give you. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Our February My Monthly Hero Classic Kit features a favorite theme for many stampers – butterflies! Presented in a unique way, combined with flowers, stars and moons, the fluttering butterflies create a gorgeous window die. Coordinating layering stencils make adding color to your die cut a breeze. There is a palette ink pad that includes Thistle, Taffy, Creamsicle, Lemon Drop, and Key Lime Fizz Reactive Inks, and a perfectly sized small blending brush. A 3×4 stamp set includes both uplifting and everyday sentiments, and the kit is rounded out with cardstock, both solid and shimmery.

There are four sheets of beautiful butterfly Hero Transfers, a butterfly die set that can be used to cut out the rub-on images but also stands alone, and an exclusive Fuchsia & Gold Luster Duo Spray that will be sure to make you swoon!

Use the stencils only and the ink pad included in the February My Monthly Hero Classic Kit to create a rainbow design.

Die cut white cardstock using the Butterfly Window Fancy Die included in the February My Monthly Hero Classic Kit then use stencil and ink pad to color the die cut. That Mustard background brought the whole card together.

Die cut the Butterfly Window Fancy Die from white, Iris and Mustard cardstocks. Stencil the flowers only on the white panel. Use the stencil to create a tone on tone effect on the Iris and Mustard die cuts. Fussy cut these butterflies out (they are only attached in a few spots) and adhere over butterflies on white panel. Add glitter paper (or specialty paper included in the kit) behind white panel. Cut the window die from the card base front and place panel on card.

Stamp a white panel with the script stamp from the Background Texture Strips to fill entire piece using Lemon Drop Reactive Ink. Apply the rub on butterflies from the Premium kit to white card and cut out with coordinating dies. Mount them on a white panel and mat with Mustard cardstock. The sentiment is from the Monarch and Milkweed Stamp Set.

Die cut both dies for butterflies from the Premium kit. Add ink from the included ink pad to them. Back any holes with white glitter paper. Stamp the music background from the Background Texture Strips using Contour Ink. Add rub on stars.

Die cut the Butterflies Window Die from Mustard cardstock included in the kit. Place a rub on butterfly on white cardstock and cut out with coordinating dies. The sentiment is from the Monarch and Milkweed Stamp Set. I always use Precision Glue XL to adhere the center of the butterfly then add foam squares to the wings close to the body.
