Our Daily Hero Arts Fix

Live Life

In the start of the NEW year and NEW 2011 Hero Products take time to say thanks or even just hi to those special friends of yours! The 2011 Hero Line offers a huge selection of stamps that touch on friendship and giving thanks to your loved ones :) The inspiration above is from one of Hero Arts' finest designers, Linda Wetterlin.


Dictionary Greeting, Live Life

These 2 NEW 2011 Hero stamps were used to make this FABULOUS card and both are available at Simon Says Stamp! Graph Background and Starry Sky also were used for the background, which is a nice creative touch :)


Starry Sky, Graph Background

Don't ever forget to accessorize your cards! Hero Arts also has a line of Flowers, Gemstones and Papers! Finish off stamping with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Pads!

HERO ALERT! HERO ALERT!

Pre-order BRAND NEW Copic Sketch Colors NOW!!

2011 New Colors Complete Set

Another great find from CHA...Copic has 12 new colors!! (BG53, RV63, BG70, RV66, E23, V20, E81, E87, YG61, RV55, YR30, V25) A must for any Copic enthusiast the 12 new colors combined are a beautiful palette but also sold separately and beautiful on their own! New to Copic? Here's a little bit about what makes them so awesome; The Copic marker is ideal for all of your calligraphy, airbrushing, cardmaking, scrapbooking, and graphic art needs. The oval body profile of the sketch marker is roll resistant on working surfaces. This is a two-tipped marker. Durable polyester nibs come in medium broad and super brush (a soft, flexible, fast-flowing brush for delicate or bold expression).

These are professional grade markers. The best quality available. Copic Markers really deliver. Although they are refillable, some card makers and scrapbookers go more than 4 years without having them dry out!

Fun uses include:
"dying" ribbon
Creating custom colored brads & flowers
Inking edges of cardstock or paper

Since Copics dry immediately, no more inky fingers!

Store any way you'd like! One of the few markers that can be safely stored horizontally or vertically.



We expect them to ship in March but if you'd like to be one of the first to SKETCH with one, pre-order here! All colors are sold individually as well as in a set of all the new colors.

Happy Sketching!

Steph

Top Pick for CHA 2011! Tim Holtz Kraft Resist Paper!

It's time to reveal our TOP PICK For CHA 2011 Winter!

DRUMROLL PLEASE......

It's Tim Holtz' new Kraft Resist Paper! (image courtesy of Tim Holtz www.TimHoltz.typepad.com)

24 sheets of 12 x 12 paper, but that's not all it is!

Per Tim Holtz www.TimHoltz.typepad.com: - kraft resist stash - i'm telling you now, this kraft resist cardstock will simply set your creativity into overload. printed on pure kraft cardstock in black with an accent image printed in a clear raised enamel which will resist inks, paints, and sprays; your distress inks have definitely found a new best friend. this paper stash includes 8 different 12x12 designs with 3 of each design - you're gonna be happy you have more than one of each sheet for this one.

I had the opportunity to work with this product and am so pleased to say, I am in LOVE! It's the most beautifully patterned, high quality, kraft paper, AND it is embossed! Ink it up to reveal the resist!

The photo to the left does not really do this gorgeous paper the justice it deserves! I hope to find more projects to showcase the beauty of the reveal! The Kraft resist is the background paper that I inked up blue for the background. It provides just the right amount of interest for this project. In a future project, I'd love to give it the center stage it deserves!

Monday CHA Spectaculars!

Our team is excited to show you some of our favorite pics and peeps from today! We had the pleasure and honor of having lunch with our 2 Design Team Directors, Lorraine & Linda! It was also a pleasure to meet Linda's friend, Lin Brown.

Check out the gorgeous treat below, made of Ribbon and embellies!


Tim was up to his "distressing" work with stain. Don't be fooled! The stains offer complete coverage at full color intensity.


John from Magnolia Stamps chatted with Stephanie about some very excited news...but we just can't tell you about it... YET! Notice the back cover of Magnolia's most recent magazine ? There is a special code on it for YOU!



Prima's new flower releases are ART!


Just a few pieces of eye candy to show you what we've been up to...... Back to order writing and meetings....

Do you wonder what our #1 pick of the show is so far? Shhhhh....it's a secret, we are trying to get the bestest photos to do it justice!

Fingers crossed the weather makes it an option to fly back home tomorrow...... Missing my 3 year old lil' guy like crazy. He probably forgets what I look like.

BIG HUGS!
Heidi
