August 1, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 kit release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This months kit is sooo pretty. I LOVE layering stencils and this one is one of my favorite.

Adventure lies ahead with our August My Monthly Hero kit. The desert southwest is your destination as you create beautiful landscapes with the kit’s layering stencils. We’ve included four ink colors to get you started, but a rainbow of possibilities await. Add some glistening shimmer with PearlEx powder. There are dies to cut out the desert elements, and a message set with greetings that are great for cardmaking and journaling alike. Be wild and free as you enjoy the creative journey!

Here are the contents of this months kit.

• 3″ x 4″ Clear Stamp Set
• 4 Color Layering Stencils (5.25″ x 6.5″)
• 6 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4 Ink Cubes (Caramel, Sand, Tangerine, Pine)
• 5 Sheets Luxe White Watercolor Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• Bronze PearlEx (0.11 oz.)

For my card today I decided to load up on the pink. You can see my sneak peek card from Friday here. Oh the pretty shades of the Hero Arts Core Inks made this card shine.

I’m huge on color combos so I keep a list of ones I like on my Pinterest board. This way if I’m struggling for an ink combo, I can look there.

When using any medium, try something new. You might just find your favorite way to make a card. Below is a tutorial sharing how easy it was to create this card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

I’m also sharing a card using the add-on On The Road Fancy Die. I LOVE how this card turned. My color medium was Copic makers and the window view is from the Hero Arts City Park Heroscape.

Next on the hop is Daniel. I hope you will enjoy the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 release. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, May 6th and continue throughout the following week.

Here’s a look at my card. I had so much fun creating. I started with Hero Arts Pebbles cardstock and the Brick Cling Background stamp. Then heat embossed it in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder to create the background. Now it was time to add the kitchen.

Using Hero Arts Dove White cardstock, I die cut the little kitchen twice. Cutting it twice, I was able to create a heavier piece of cardstock. Next I pulled out my Copic Markers and did a little bit of coloring. For the stove and the hood I used silver matte cardstock.

I made a tutorial showing you how I pulled the card together. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

Let’s not forget my bonus card using the Hero Arts Eggcellent stamp set. OMG this stamp set is fantastic. I created a little table for my kitchen set up to be displayed. Again I used my Copic markers to color this one up. Make sure to grab the bundle for this stamp set. You will really want to have the matching dies for this set.

Giveaway: We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, May 8th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
