Hello readers! Today I'm excited to share with you the first set of cards I made using the June My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. I mentioned recently that I had re-signed up for the Hero Arts monthly kit subscription and I assured myself that I would use them soon after they arrived, rather than having them pile up in my craft room unused for months. . . Last weekend, I finally sat down and created a wide array of cards all made from this kit that I'll be sharing over the next few days.
This is what was included in the June My Monthly Hero Kit:
KIT INCLUDES:
Card details:
For this first A2 sized card, I used Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock as my base. The first later is a piece of Basic Black cardstock that I ran through my Big Shot using the Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangles. I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" sheet of white cardstock to layer over the black mat. I stamped the sentiment in the Intense-ified black ink cube (included in the kit). I stamped five flamingos on scrap white cardstock in the Intense-ified black ink and colored them using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink markers. I added a few highlights to the colored flamingos with a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen. Using the coordinating dies, I die cut the flamingos and added them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flamingos for shiny sparkle!
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock (all product links are provided in the directions for the first card). I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card using the Intense-ified black ink. I die cut the squares frame (sorry, I can't remember the company who produces this die) from Basic Black cardstock. I created a rainbow color background using alcohol inks on Yupo Paper. Please look at any one of the amazing Jennifer McGuire YouTube videos to learn more about creating alcohol ink backgrounds. I stamped all of the images in Intense-ified black ink and colored them using Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers. I added the colored images to the card using 3M foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for shiny sparkle!
I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I created with this month's kit. Be sure to come back tomorrow and I'll be sharing a very simple way to create more using this same kit!
XO, Crystal
