STAMPtember® Exclusive: Hero Arts
Hi friends! Welcome to day 18 of STAMPtember®, and our exclusive release day with the fantastic Hero Arts! Our exclusive stamp and die set is called “Prayers“, and we hope you see the value and multi-function of this great and encouraging stamp and die set as much as we do! It was designed by our pal, Kelly Rasmussen, and we love the beautiful font and unique sentiments for a variety of occasions.
Jackie Leventhal, founder of Hero Arts, has come a long way from the Berkeley cottage where she started her business in the mid-70’s. As an art teacher, she began making stamps in her home with an old, borrowed vulcanizer. Soon her creations were in great demand, not just by her students, but also at craft fairs (butterflies, a dancing frog, and a big sun were early favorites). Hero Arts was born.
By 1981, Hero Arts was a vital force in the growing stamp movement. Craft fairs led to gift shows; local retail trade grew into national and even international distribution. The company evolved into an industry leader. Hero Arts innovated the color label top. The Hero Arts catalog has won gold and silver medals numerous times over the past decade. And, Hero Arts was even awarded a US Patent for original paper designs. Every product we make today has the simple elegance of Jackie’s original vision.
Today, despite tough economic times, Hero Arts is a thriving company of over 35 years that has not compromised its quality or original founding goals. Hero Arts is an industry leader, and considered the innovator in the stamp, cardmaking and scrapbooking markets. Hero Arts remains committed to its original founding family ethic: company founder Jackie Leventhal is the Design Director and her son Aaron Leventhal is the CEO.
Hero Arts remains passionate about stamping, obsessed with quality, and is dedicated to their customers. Since the company’s founding, Hero Arts has relied on customers to inspire and sustain the business. They are thankful for your ideas, comments, and creativity.
Hero Arts is proud to be a green business.
In addition to their blog and online shop, follow along with Hero Arts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Youtube.

What a beautiful set! It (and the die!!) will be perfect for sympathy, get well, or just plain thinking of you cards. Awesome to have a set with so many possibilities for sentiment combos.
Beautiful set and die. Hero Arts has really evolved over the years. Great to see a company thrive in this industry!
This set is on my wishlist! I really appreciate that there’s an option to make a card from my family to another family. I’ve had a hard time finding sentiments that aren’t from just one person to another. Thanks!
This may be my favorite collaboration set for this month’s Stamptember. Lovely sentiments!
This is a wonderful stamp set and cutting die for when you want someone to know how much you care. Jennifer and Laura made outstanding cards today. Thank you both for the inspiration.
I love these sentiment, what a fantastic set!
Such a lovely stamp set.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that you are getting a stamp with the matching die at an affordable price. I would love to see more of these. I have to think about it a lot harder when it cost $40 or $50 to get a coordinating set. And this set has so many useful phrases in it. A must have on my next purchase.
This ones currently in my shopping card. LOVE that it’s not too flowery. When it comes to these types of cards, I like to keep it pretty simple.
Before I watched the video, I went ahead and ordered this stamp set. Hero Arts will always be one of my favorite companies and I love their stamp and cut word sets.
After seeing all the awesome cards I just placed my order before you are sold out!!!
Fabulous set from 2 fabulous companies!!
love the font and the sentiment size
great set of sentiment stamps, so versatile and love how it can be mix&match to create varieties of meaningful quote cards!
Really awesome set! And beautiful cards, of course! :)
This is one of the best sets released yet. I simply
love the font of the large word prayers and all the
other great go-along words! Just wonderful!
So many great options that you could do with these stamps! It’s always good to have a set like this with nice sentiments and I always appreciate a coordinating die.
What a nice and versatile stamp set. I watched Jennifer McGuire’s video using the stamps and the cards are amazing. Thanks for sharing the backstory of Hero Arts and the very talented ladies who showcased them.
Another great useful release from Hero Arts! The stamps are beautiful and very versatile! Many possibilities for awesome projects!

The cards are beautiful Love this stamp and die set. Yay for Hero Arts!
What a great set! I also love everything Nichole & Laura create!
Lovely release!
Sadly, we have had a lot of deaths the last few months and this set would be perfect to send cards to the families who have lost loved ones. On Monday, a 17 year old boy who went to the doctor a month ago with back pain lost his life. Turns out that they misdiagnosed him and a few weeks later he went to the ER and was admitted to intensive care with lung cancer. He only lasted 3 days after that. He will be missed!
Love this encouraging stamp set & the size of the die…
Beautiful stamp set.
Congrats to Kelly and I LOVE this set! Off to order it today!!
I love this set, I´m going to get it now!! Great inspiration.
Oh my favorite so far! A must have set!
OMG, how I need this stamp set and die! We had five funerals/memorial services in less than a month plus friends with health issues and surgeries within that same time period. Guess it’s quite obvious how life changes as we mature. : ) Beautiful cards, too!
I love the size and the font, makes it easy to do simple cards!
Thank you for the opportunity to win and sharing all your beautiful ideas with this wonderful set.
What a wonderful assortment of sentiments in this set!
I really love this set! Can’t wait to have it for myself.
Thank you, Carole Lovill
