Hero Arts Sending Smiles Message Set

Perhaps I should start a regular feature on Simplicity. We could call it "LateBlossom Enables." 'Cause that's what I'm doing today. Shamelessly enabling.

HELLO! This set from Hero Arts makes my CAS-lovin' heart very happy. You see, it contains five sentiments (in a fairly large, cursive font) and five coordinating sayings for the inside of the card. GENIUS! Add a simple image, and you've got a complete card, inside and out!

I chose these watercolor flower stamps from Hero because I hadn't used them in a while. They felt neglected and were whining about it. The flowers are made to look like watercolors when colored with markers...super easy. I used SU markers for all of these flowers and the matching pads for the sentiments.






And of course, I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the purple one...shame on me.



So, run right out and buy this set. It's just toooooo useful. The fonts are pretty neutral and can be used with any number of images, and there's not a silly sentiment in the set. You know what I mean. No "enjoy the happy moments in life" nonsense.

You can thank me later.

  10. If I hadn't already ASKED you for recommendations on sentiment sets; I'd yell at you for enabling me! But at least this is one you already mentioned to me so there isn't another set to add to my " I really, really REALLY WANT this!" list.

    Very pretty cards, as usual.

  11. Susan, Thanks for the reminder. I must make a list. I went to Archivers in Louisville with my other stamper enablers. I knew there was a Hero Arts set I wanted but couldn't remember which one it was. Love these beautiful cards.

  17. I think you featured this set in a post last week. Yah, I bought it then. Thanks.

  18. Yes, this is a brilliant set. (Goes without saying you've used it brilliantly.) Other companies should take note: outside AND inside sentiments are very helpful! What I'd REALLY like is a Christmas set! I'm always stuck if I put Merry Christmas on the outside!
