Good morning! The 2020 Catalog release from Hero Arts is now available and we’re celebrating with a big blog hop and giveaways! I’m sharing three cards using some of my favorite new products from the release!
Okay, to start off, I am LOVING the citrus trend that’s going around these days!! So when I saw the Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp I fell hard! I stamped it with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I colored the panel with copic markers and finished by coloring the entire background a dark royal blue!
Next I used the new Infinity Nesting Squares to cut two squares from Dove White cardstock and vellum. I layered them together and turned them before adhering them to the panel. Then I die-cut the Thinking of You from Mustard cardstock and adhered it to the squares to finish the card!
And continuing on my citrus obsession, I stamped the same Fresh Citrus background stamp onto Canary cardstock with embossing ink and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I blended Lemon Drop and Creamsicle Reactive Ink around the edges of the panel. I buffed the excess ink off the powder and set it aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.
Next I stamped images from Zest Wishes with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. Again I die-cut squares of vellum and white cardstock but this time I stamped a sentiment from Zest Wishes onto the white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I arranged my citrus on the squares and then adhered them to the background panel. To finish the card I added a little crystal glaze to the center slice and the flower stamens!
Then I switched gears a little to play with my other new love of the 2020 catalog: Color Layering Scapes! There are three so far, lavender, tulips, and sunflowers and they are SO much fun! And there are so many fabulous color options for each one! Just line the layers up on your MISTI and you’re ready to go! 🙂 Here’s a sneak peek of some of my Color Layering Scape cards.
Today I’m focusing on the Lavender Fields Color Layering Scape! To start I stamped the lavender layers using Passion Flower and Grape Juice ink. Then I stamped the greenery with Lime Green and Fresh Lawn Ink.
Next I blended a little Soft Purple along the horizon. I didn’t bother masking the lavender because the soft purple just blends right in! Then I followed that with Cornflower, Indigo, and Soft Navy ink. I stamped the sentiment with Grape Juice ink and then let the panel dry. Once the panel was totally dry I stamped the clouds with embossing ink and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I stamped them again with embossing ink and heat-embossed them with white puff embossing powder. The extra layer of white puff gives the clouds a fun texture!
And that’s it! I highly recommend checking out the new release! Besides these gorgeous products there are brand new pigment inks, more color layering scapes, stand-alone fancy dies, so much goodness!!! I’d love to know your favorites from the new release!

The layer scapes are so awesome!
The heroscapes are my favorite.
This is a very pretty scene! Love the dimension created!
Beautiful examples in all your cards. I’m a huge citrus fan too. I bought the background stamp as soon as I could from my local stamp store who had it a month ago. LOVE IT!! TGS
I love velum on cards it add something so special to the look of the card and its very soft on the eyes. I also love how you did sunset scenes for the layered scenes stamps. Ir is so relaxing to look at, if you send those cards to someone I hope they frame it.
lavender fields set is my favorite.
Fantastic cards Jess. Love the vibrant colors. Amazing images, especially the HeroScape layers! Love, love, love the realistic look of the pretty scenes.
I love the lilac fields. These are beautiful layered scenes..love these stamps.
Love how you colored the background a dark blue on that first card, the citrus really pops! And I LOVE those new heroscape cards, those new backgrounds are fantastic!
Wow those lemon cards are great looking! The color layering scapes are nice also. I like the sunflower color layering scapes and the watering can and flower die set! There is probably a few more too…
I love the new layering stamps!
Amazing cards! They just scream spring and summer!!
Nice, bright cards, great designs.
Your cards are great! I really like the way you incorporated the white vellum in the first 2 cards. Thanks for the idea on adding 2 layers of embossing powder to the cloud on the last card. Can’t wait to try it.
Fantastic cards! I love the new layering scapes!
Jessica – I love the tulip fields card the best. It may be because my family is from Holland, but actually, you lined up the stamps so perfectly it seamlessly drifts from flowers to sky. Gorgeous!
Gorgeous cards! I love the boldness and beauty on the first citrus card!
I love the HeroScapes but I also love the citrus cards, they are so refreshing!
I love Hero Arts stamps and dies. The fields of flowers are beautiful.
I was drawn to the citrus background but couldn’t figure how I’d use it, thanks for the sample ideas!
Love the layered scenes. The citrus doesnt speak to m) but you done a great job)
Great cards! Loving all the lemons ♥
Gorgeous cards. It is so nice to see summer images and colours.
