Card Kit of the Month

This month’s Card Kit of the Month is a fantastic collection of stamps, dies, and accessories that will help you create stunning Victorian Seaside-themed cards. With a mix of seaside silhouettes, sand castles, and reactive ink, this kit is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean or wants to add a touch of coastal charm to their card-making. The Card Kit of the Month includes:

• Victorian Seaside Clear Stamp Set, 6″ x 8″
• 22 Coordinating Dies
• Sand Castle Fancy Dies
• Rock Cling Stamp, 6″ x 6″
• Victorian Seaside Reactive Palette Ink Pad
• 2 Sheets Map Hero Transfers (Rub-ons), 6″ x 8″
• 2 Sheets Each of Blue, Purple, Green Vellum, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• 2 Sheets Each of White Lava Holographic, White Rainbow Holographic Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″

Using the Card Kit of the Month, I created a set of two cards featuring stunning seaside silhouettes and a unique inlay design.

First, I ink blended an A2-sized piece of Deluxe Smooth Cardstock using Nautical, Deep Ocean, and Paradise Core Inks. Then, I stamped several of the silhouette stamps from the included Victorian Seaside Clear Stamp Set onto the ink-blended panel using Intens-ified Black Ink.

I stamped the same stamps in the same spots onto a fresh piece of A2-sized Deluxe Smooth Cardstock. I used a die from the Nesting Heart Infinity Dies to cut out a heart in the same spot on both the ink-blended and the white card panels. I inlaid the ink-blended heart into the white negative panel and inlaid the white heart into the negative ink-blended panel.

Using the same stamp set, I stamped a black sentiment onto one of the cards and heat-embossed a sentiment onto the other card. I love two-for-one cards!

Extras for the Month!

In addition to the Hero Studio kits, Hero Arts is releasing 5-8 extra products each month, available for purchase without a subscription. These products will be permanently available on their website, so be sure to check them out here!

This month, I also created a card using some of the July extras – the Pebbles & Stones Stencil and the Tropical Fishes Bundle.

First, I lightly ink blended an A2-sized piece of Deluxe Smooth Cardstock using Splash Reactive Ink. Then, I dry-embossed using the Pebbles & Stones Stencil. Next, I ink blended Granite Core Ink over the stencil and added White and Black Hero Wax. The grey-colored ink with the white and black made the pebbles and stones look lifelike.

I stamped a sentiment and several of the fish from the Tropical Fishes Bundle, colored the fish using alcohol markers, then die-cut everything with the coordinating dies. I popped up the fish and sentiment on my card using foam tape to add some fun dimension.
