July 2023 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Blog Hop and Giveaway

Welcome to the July Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Blog Hop and Giveaway! Such beautiful elements in the kits and add ons this month (check my Instagram on Saturday and Monday for those). I love the solid floral stamps in the Classic Kit and the picnic basket from the Premium Kit. This month subscribers to the Classic Kit have the option to add the Premium Elements included in the Premium Kit without subscribing.

1. Stamp the Linen Cling Stamp from the July Classic My Monthly Hero Kit with the ink pad included in the kit.

2. Cut the panel and a piece of Nautical cardstock with Rectangle Infinity Dies. Stamp sentiment using Nautical Core Ink and adhere panels together.

3. Cut a Scalloped Rectangle die larger than the previous two pieces. Stamp with the Positive Script Bold Prints using Contour Ink. Adhere panel from step 2.

4. Die cut a dandelions twice from Nautical cardstock and adhere together. Add to panel.

5. Place panel on an A2 card base with foam tape. Finish with a few iridescent jewels.

1. Use the Ombré Ink Pad from the Classic Kit and a blending brush to ink up a piece of white cardstock. Die cut the Parkland Window Fancy Die from the Classic Kit out of inked panel. Splatter with White Iridescent Shimmer Spray and set aside to dry thoroughly.

2. Stamp the Linen Cling Stamp horizontally using Nautical Core Ink on white cardstock so it will fit behind window.

3. Once inked panel is dry, heat emboss the sentiment using White Detail Embossing Powder.

4. Add acetate behind the window and place a double layer of foam tape around it leaving no gaps.

5. Add sequins to the well created by the foam and place the linen stamped cardstock over it. I add some Precision Glue XL to the foam tape for extra hold. The sequins I used here are from an old Amy Monthly Hero Kit.

6. Add shaker to an A2 card base and finish with a few stars near sentiment.

1. Stamp a piece of Pesto Cardstock with the Linen Cling Stamp from the Classic Kit then adhere to an A2 card base.

2. Stamp the Burlap Bold Prints with Cherry Core Ink. Adhere to card at an angle.

3. Die cut the Scalloped Rectangle Infinity die and a Rectangle Infinity Die from white cardstock and adhere to card with foam tape.

4. Die cut all the pieces for the Picnic Basket included in the Premium Kit from white cardstock and color with OLO Markers. Adhere to card using Precision Glue XL and thin foam squares.

5. Stamp the sentiment with Intens-ified Black Ink. Add a white heart to basket.

1. Die cut the Scalloped Rectangle Infinity Die from folded piece of white cardstock larger than needed. Hang the top scallop off the fold. *This is not what I did and my card base in kind of a mess. This is what I should have done.*

2. Die cut the Picnic Scenic Dies included in the Premium Kit from white cardstock and color with Core Inks and OLO Markers.

3. Stamp the sentiment on the water layer with Nautical Core Ink.

4. Add clouds with the Clouds and Grass Scenic Stencil using Summer Sky Core Ink, splatter it with White Iridescent Shimmer Spray then adhere the other two layers with Precision Glue XL.

5. Add Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen to the waves and allow to dry.

6. Die cut the largest Scalloped Infinity Die together with a Rectangle Infinity Die and adhere to card with foam tape. Finish with a red heart above sentiment.
