You’ve Got A Friend In Me, Hero Arts

You’ve Got A Friend In Me, Hero Arts

Hero Arts has a fun new release, and it’s practically made for friendship cards. I’m a big believer in the “just because” card, no birthday, no holiday, just a little hey, I’m thinking of you, and this collection is perfect for exactly that.

Let’s Talk Technique

For these cards, I used the new Abstract Floral stamp set from Hero Arts paired with Distress Watercolor Pencils. I colored directly onto the stamps, then pressed them onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock for a soft, painterly look. It’s a simple technique that gives you a lot of creative freedom, the abstract florals are beautiful and forgiving, so every card turns out a little different.

I made three cards, each with its own color story: one with a full rainbow background, one focused on cool blues, and one in pinks with a pop of red. Same stamps, totally different vibes.

For the sentiment, I stamped the bold “Hello Friend” greeting using Versafine Onyx Black ink from the Hello Friend stamp set, that crisp black really anchors the whole card. I white-embossed a smaller companion sentiment, trimmed it into a strip, and layered it onto the card with black foam tape for a little lift.

The finishing touch? Trinity Stamps rhinestones in coordinating colors for just the right amount of sparkle.

I love how abstract and painterly these backgrounds turned out, and that bold, cheerful greeting. These are the kinds of cards that are genuinely fun to make, and even more fun to send.
