August My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #1 + Giveaway

Hero Arts

Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the August My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, August 3 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Our Creative Team will be here all weekend long, sharing inspiration before the launch on Monday. Now let's join Debi for the first look at the kit!

Oh hey! Time for some fun in the sun via a "staycation"! I’m Debi Adams and here’s a sneak peek into the My Monthly Hero Kit for August 2020. There are soooo many fabulous designs, yet again, that it made it hard to show just one card using this collection. I loved the positivity in these designs that, in spite of not being able to travel much, we can still find some chillaxin’ things to do.

This card uses strips of yellow and blue cardstock adhered to a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” top folding card for the background. A rectangle is die-cut from a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Dove White cardstock using the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies and then the large sentiment is stamped at the bottom with Intense Black ink. The entire frame is adhered to the main card base using foam dots. Now the fun begins! I love the stamping, die-cutting and coloring of the images. It’s kind of like putting the frosting on the cake. All my images were colored with Copic markers. The last image, “Hello From:” was stamped and embossed using white embossing powder and VersaMark onto Pitch Black cardstock. That’s it! I love that creating is one of those things we can do while being safe inside our home.

Hope you will join us for the blog hop on Monday where we will show a ton of projects with more of the My Monthly Hero Kit plus all of the fabulous add-ons!

*** Win a kit before you can buy it *** Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, August 3, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

I immediately thought of the kit that layered up like the ocean with the embossing powder that mimicked Sand… I wonder if you could use the embossing powder that looks like snow to make the sea foam? That would be me! And if it comes with a cute pool boy serving mai tai’s I’m IN! I would leave it as my “gone fishin” note! Lol

First, I adore the sentiment in that it sums up what I think of our backyard. It is large & very private. This card could be made for me as sitting in a chair outside with a good book, a cup of tea, or a cold drink & a large sun hat on is what I tend to love to do! I can’t wait to see more, but even if there wasn’t anymore, I’d want what you’ve created with this sneak peek today Debi. I really like the colours of cardstock you used in the background.
