More July Hero Studio Creations

 I have some more cards to share that showcase the July Hero Studio releases. It's a super fun kit that mixes and matches very well, all with a summer appropriate Road Trip theme!


Don't you love this cassette tape?! This is the card I created live during the latest Craft Lounge Live. I had so much fun crafting along with Charlene and Channin. You can watch the replay here!


This card uses the July Die of the Month paired with the Perforation Cover Plate. All of the paper used is Hero Arts premium cardstock.


My next card features the July Layering Stencil of the Month. I started with Periwinkle cardstock and ink blended the stencil with Splash, Blue Hawaii, and Pool Party inks. I also added Glitter Paste to the parts that were inked with Blue Hawaii.


The little starbursts were added with two different colors of blue wax: Icelandic and Wintergreen. I added some blue enamel dots to complete this simple card.


Lastly, I have this fun grid card using some of the smaller dies included in the July Card Kit of the Month. This card is giving me total Road-Trip-to-Vegas vibes!

July Hero Studio Blog Hop - ROAD TRIP!

 It's time for a ROAD TRIP! The July 2025 Hero Studio release is perfect for your summer travel projects and I even think this will make a great scrapbook page layout. Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Saturday, July 5th at 11:59pm PT, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win! Make sure you log in or sign your name so your comment isn't anonymous!



I've already made five cards with the July Hero Studio kits but today I'll be sharing only two. The first card uses the Hero Scape stamp set from the July Card Kit of the Month.


The stamped image was paired on gorgeous Pesto cardstock (I thought it was a good cactus color!). My goal for the image was to look like Sedona to the best of my ability! How do you think I did? 

(my dad and I in Sedona a few months ago)


My second card today uses the July Cling of the Month called Cobblestone Courtyard.



I really love this kind of cling stamp that has a repetitive pattern that can be used for anything. For the background, I heat embossed the July Cling Stamp with Brass Embossing Powder on Nautical cardstock. I paired this card with the Whole Studio Bonus which is that fun car freshener pine tree.


I also stamped the July Cling in different green inks on Kiwi cardstock before die cutting the tree. I also heat embossed the sentiment in White.

Enjoy the rest of the hop! Leave your comment below for a chance to win a gift certificate to Hero Arts.

Petal Print Layered Stencil Card

 Layered stencils are great for creating a big impact card in as few minutes as possible. I recently snagged the Petal Prints stencils from C9 and I adore the card that came from it!


I'm also still playing with the Brickyard color challenge. For the leaves I inked up with Sea Glass and Rainforest.


The main flower petals were first inked with Grapefruit, and then a light blend of Sorbet on top. The center of the flowers were inked with Brickyard, and then some Glitter Paste on top.


The sentiment and card border uses Brickyard cardstock. The 'so grateful' die is from the More to Say die collection.
