Happy Birthday | Hero Arts July 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the July collection. If you missed last month’s launch of the reimagined Hero Arts monthly subscription program, be sure to check out the six new Hero Studio subscriptions options!

This month’s July Hero Studio Cardmaking Kit features a beautiful collection of supplies to make many seaside-themed projects.

For this card, I used just the stamps and a selection of inks. Onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Dove White cardstock I stamped the water in Arctic and Paradise Core Inks and then stamped the cloudy blue sky in Cornflower and Stone Wash. Then I used large blending brushes to blend Sand around the water and part way up the panel, and Mist between the sand and the stamped sky. Next, I stamped the sentiment, beach huts, and footprints in Onyx pigment ink. To finish, I cut the panel down to a smaller size using a die from the Nesting Rectangles Infinity Die Set and then used foam tap to adhere it to a top-folding card base.

Just A Little Note

My second card features the Color Layering Beach Ball Stencils stencil set. I used large blending brushes to blend Bermuda, Cornflower, and Ultra Pink over the three layers of the stencil and then added a stamped sentiment from the Mandala Flower Pattern stamp set. I cut the sentiment using a die from the HA + RT Essential Messages Stamp & Cut XL bundle and then cut two more angled pieces from Lapis and Paradise cardstocks. I glued the three layers together, offsetting the Lapis and Paradise layers, and then used foam tape to adhere the sentiment to the background. To finish, I trimmed off the part of the sentiment piece hanging off the left edge of the background and then glued the card front to a card base.
