Hero Arts April My Monthly Hero Blog Hop and Giveaway

Welcome to the April Hero Arts My Monthly Hero blog hop and giveaway! I’m sharing two cards using only products from the Classic Kit and one from the Premium Kit. Check out the fourth card I shared in my countdown post! Be sure to read to the bottom for giveaway information and links to all the designers along the hop.

Our release for April is a fun, eclectic mix of florals and mixed media! Our Classic Kit includes a 6″ x 8″ stamp set full of elements to mix and match for creating flower clusters, vases filled with blooms, and interesting patterns – either in the background or right on the flowers and vases themselves! Two red rubber cling stamps add even more pattern options. There are dies to cut out all of the elements, including the messages. An exclusive washi tape with a handwritten script pattern can be added to your design or on your envelopes, and four Core Ink cubes round out this version of the kit.
