My Monthly Hero Kit, June

06/4/2018

Note: be sure to check out the Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Blog Hop (pssst there are prizes!!)My Monthly Hero Kit, Hero Arts

Hello everyone! If you are new to my site you may not know, but i am a 110% beach girl, I am secretly a mermaid 😉 OK- just kidding! When my friend Libby mentioned to me that the June My Monthly Hero Kit was chocked full of nautical goodness and asked if I would want to create some inspiration, I, of course, said: “heck yes!” BUT what she didn’t tell me was that the kit was specifically made for ME!!!! I mean… so much ocean love, a sentiment that says “#aquaholic” and sandy beachy embossing powder- ohmygosh!!! I was in heaven creating with this kit.

If you are visiting my blog for the first time or have not yet subscribed – be sure to do so! I share lots of handmade projects every week delivering them straight to your inbox! I also occasionally share information about crafty classes and new product releases I love. Subscribe here.

My Monthly Hero: June Kit Add-Ons

Ok, now onto some inspiration!

Life is better with sandy feet

I watercolored my own background using Distress Inks. Then using some of the stamps from the kit stamp set I created my own little beach scene. I love the layered clouds and the sandy footprints the best. I added a little bit of prisma glitter here and there for some sparkle.

Enjoy the beach life

For this card I used the Beach Frame Fancy Die, and cut it out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Using Distress Inks I added color to the beachy scene.

Hero Arts, Beach Frame Fancy Die

Then I masked an oval opening on the card front, and ink blended some Distress Inks for a background. I stamped the sentiment “enjoy the beach life” from the kit stamp set. The frame is popped up off the card with 3M foam tape. Lastly, I added a little prisma glitter here and there for some sparkle.

I shore do miss you

I started this card by ink blending with Distress Oxide inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves). In my head, I was just trying to create an ocean scene with the sun setting, not meaning for it to be a rainbow, it just worked out that way, and I really like the results!Hero Arts, Seas The Day Seagulls

I stamped the lighthouse, the piling, and the seagull from the Seas the Day Seagulls stamp set. I colored them in with Copic Markers, and die cut them. (when putting the card together I realized the lighthouse would look better on this card, with very little white border, so I ended up fussy cutting it out)  I also stamped a few of the clouds in Blue Print Sketch Distress Oxide Ink and fussy cut them out.

I stamped some of the waves in Blue Print Distress Oxide directly on the background, and with an x-acto, I cut a sliver above one of the waves. This was so I could tuck in the piling. Lastly, you guessed it I added some prisma glitter for some sparkle. I figure the ocean has a beautiful sparkle in the setting sun.

Feelin’ Nauti?

First of all, can we just talk about how fun this sentiment is!?! LOVE IT!

Hero Arts, Abstract Wave Bold Prints

For this card, I white embossed the Abstract Wave Bold Prints stamp, and then watercolored over it with Distress Inks (Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers). I tore two strips off the top to look like waves. Hero Arts, Beach MessagesI stamped a hermit crab and the sunglasses from the Beach Messages stamp set and colored them with Copic markers. I added a few details to the hermit crab with a jelly roll white gel pen. I used a powder tool on some black cardstock and stamped out the “feelin’ nauti” sentiment with versamark ink. I then embossed it with white powder. Once the card was all assembled I added some glossy accents to the sunglasses for some shiny dimension.

#AQUAHOLIC

When I showed Chris this card he asked me if I made the sentiment myself, and I was like “no it was part of a new stamp set coming out, isn’t it perfect!?” and he was like ” yea, wow! that’s awesome!”

Hero Arts, Wave & Sea Confetti Die

For this card, I used the new Wave & Sea Confetti Die. I cut it out of a dark teal cardstock and layered it over a light teal cardstock. I stamped the sun and sentiment from the Beach Messages stamp set. I watercolored the sun and waves with Distress Inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Peacock Feathers). I added a little bit of sparkle with prisma glitter.

Beach Please

For this card, I did a lot of masking to ink blend with Distress Inks and fill in the sand with the new Sand Embossing Powder that comes in the kit. It is so pretty in person, with flecks of shimmer! Then I used the Beach Please stamp & cut set to create the rest of this card.
Hero Arts, Beach Please Stamp & Cut
I stamped out the french bulldog, beach umbrella, suntan lotion, sunglasses and pineapple drink and colored them all in with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiments directly onto the background of the card and added a touch of sparkle here and there. I also added some glossy accents to the suntan lotion and sunglasses.
I hope these cards really inspired you, and got your creative juices flowing! More importantly, I hope it really got you in the mood for summer! Remember the kit is going to sell out fast, so go get yours here: June My Monthly Hero Kit.
