As the cold fades and the seasons change, summer sun awakens new flowers, reveals green fields, and provides the opportunity to look at the world with new eyes. During these unusual times, getting perspective on life is especially important and helps us to heal and grow. In a small way, crafting can bring beauty to the world, life to the day, and help to stir a strong feeling of togetherness, community and giving.

2 Welcome to summer Hero Arts-style. We have landscapes of floral fields, secret doors and windows, playful family fun, wonderful Partner friends, and a whole lot more to bring the sun out in your crafting room and lift the creative spirit of you and the people around you.

Happy summer from Hero Arts!

3 Color Layering HeroScapes™

Introduced in our 2020 Catalog, the HeroScape technique involves stamping multiple layers using different ink combinations to create a variety of stunning landscapes. Our new Vineyard HeroScape is the latest edition of our Color Layering large- format landscape sets. You can build scenes of layered colors to create dramatic panoramas and a wonderful sense of perspective. Our American-made clear stamps provide deep impressions and help you accomplish color combinations with precise detail.

25 PEEK-A-BOO Stamps & Dies™ This Hero Arts technique combines different products, including clear, cling, wood and dies, in order to blend stamped background scenes with die-cut and scored windows and doors. We have added to the collection for summer with new “Mini” Infinity Die Sets, offering another dimension to our interactive windows. Create pop-up backgrounds with hinged doors and add stamped images behind each. What will you hide behind your birthday wishes, love messages, and sunshine greetings?

28 29 Tip The Hero Arts collection of “Doors” Fancy Dies are the centerpiece of the Peek-A-Boo technique, although there is no rule on alignment. Any of the dies work interchangeably with the Peek-A-Boo backgrounds, as long as you have a plan for what to add underneath. Where they cut your stamped background really doesn’t make much difference in the overall style of the finished card.

38 Hero Hues™ Pigment Inks Bold and bright pigment inks enliven our Hero Hues ink collection. Pigment inks are crisp and opaque, and sit on top of your paper for a vibrant intensity. The color on the paper stays true to the color on the pad, and thus we use clear tops to highlight their beauty. Pigment inks are ideal for embossing and heat setting as they dry a little slower than our other inks. To see our complete collection of inks, including regular pads, cubes, reinkers, cleaners and more, visit heroarts.com/herohues.
