Oh hey, happy Monday and welcome to the June 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit reveal by Hero Arts. As always we are having a blog hop and giveaway to celebrate! Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to find out how to enter as well as who is next on the hop. Well, what is new? Let’s start with the My Monthly Hero Main Kit. Wow, wow and wow! Lots of fun designs packed in here. And, this time the theme is all about the great outdoors.
This entire kit is valued at $74.00 but is available now for $34.99, while supplies last! Once it’s gone, it’s gone. If you want to make sure you get your kit every month, you might consider becoming a subscriber. Hero Arts has several options to choose from. If interested, check it out here.
Here’s what you will receive in the Main Kit for June:
4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
6″ x 6″ Northern Lights Cling Stamp
3 Fancy Scene Dies
10 Coordinating Frame Cuts
2- 5.5″ x 8.5″ Sheets of Black Handmade Watercolor Paper
Glow in the Dark Lacquer Pen
Shiny Silver Stars
With great designs like these, creating unique cards is easy. This 3- D fold out card was made by adding a cardstock, box base that folds up for easy mailing. Love all the dimensionality this kit has to offer.
For the coloring on these cards, I used Blue Hawaii and Blue Raspberry Reactive Inks and Navy Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. I also used Cocoa Brown and Forever Green Ink. The rest was colored in with various Copic markers. I added a tiny bit of vellum to the lighthouse to create a visual of a light being cast into the harbor. As mentioned many times, I am a big fan of foam dots so additional dimension was added through that adhesive product.
And love these Northern Lights… I have never seen the real ones myself but I can certainly imagine. All the details that are in this red rubber stamp are amazing! The tiny little silver stars were perfect for making this look magical and they come in the Main Kit.
And of course, I am all about the add-ons in this collection so I had to share a few. There are four sets tucked into this one card. There’s the Galaxy Peek A Boo Parts for the background, the Shine Bright and Shine Bright Frame Cuts, and the Music In the Night Window Die. The background was created with Pool Party and Blue Hawaii Reactive inks and then stamped with the Galaxy background stamp using Unicorn White Ink with the MISTI. I accentuated the silhouettes by die-cutting them not just in black but in white too and then placed the white cardstock behind the black. The sentiment was embossed in white on black cardstock.
And yes, it may be June gloom here in California but this card is definitely anything but that! Summer is about here so I brought out the sunshine by tucking some fun Hero Arts sequins inside a netted bag, added a mini-pennant with a sentiment, embellished it with some layered hearts and stamped up the dolphin with two shades of ink, Blue Hawaii and Green Apple Reactive Inks. . The word “June” was shaded with Lemon Drop, Creamsicle, Pool Party and Green Apple inks. The sunshine will return, it always does, but until then, this card will have to do.
So there you have it. Just a few of the many projects that you can create using the June 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit and Add-ons. Do you have a favorite set? I’m sure it’s hard to choose. I definitely couldn’t! Certain that Ilina Crouse has been busy creating some fun projects for the hop too! Check out her blog here for her take on the new launch.

When I saw the frame of cards on Hero Arts page your 1st card caught my eye immediately. I love this card so much! The colors, composition, texture, and dimension are incredible. My favorite card I’ve seen in a long time! Thanks for the inspiration and true beauty! And… a net… brilliant!!! Wonderful release!
The 3-D scene card is amazing.

Wonderful cards–love the lighthouse card. Thanks for sharing.
These are stunning! I love the first two. I’ve never made a box card like that before but I love the dimension it creates. That scene is beautifully colored. I also really like the colors you used on the northern lights card. Your June card has a happy, vibrant, summery look that is just wonderful. Love these!
Your June card is super cute. Great idea.
Absolutely beautiful cards! I especially love the scene you created with the various landscape dies. Your inking and coloring are amazing!!

Your first card is truly amazing. I love everything about it.
Wow, your coloring on the first card is incredible! Thank you for showing us how to stretch our dies for something amazing.
Beautiful cards, Debi!
I loved them all. Wow, tho, that first one looked so realistic. You have a skill at coloring that is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I love the card with the lighthouse. The trees look water colored, beautiful.
Fabulous designs!
Just beautiful! What a wonderful pop up card! And I love your June layered card! Hope the gloom goes away soon! We’ve got it here in Seattle too!
Unbelievable cards! I can’t get over that Northern Lights stamp with those stars… Simply too beautiful for words. And I loved how you created a summery card with this kit! Your creativity is a blessing to us all 🙂 Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to get crafting!
Love your cards! Fun to see the variety and the neat fold out style!
Great cards! Love the “shaker” card. Great idea.
I especially love the 3D and the clever use of vellum!
All of these cards show such creativity. The first card with the 3-D pop-up is wonderful. I like how you used the galaxy background with the musician silhouettes. The inlay for the June month die makes it special.
Fantastic scene!
Wow, I love your cards! I especially like that you colored the die cuts on the first card. It looks more realistic than cutting them from colored cardstock.
Oh my word!! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! The scenic card is stunning…color palettes and card designs are so creatively isnpiring!
So beautiful!
Ooooh beautiful cards!!
Your cards are definitely works of art. Amazing!
Beautiful scenes. Lovely cards.
Your cards are beautiful! I love the shaker card/pouch … genius!! Thank you so much for sharing!
The most spectacular lights, swirls, and rays can be created with this kit! So many possibilities!
Debi, each of your cards is spectacular!! I’d like to have seen a video for each one. (don’t want much, do I?)
You are so very talented. The first card blew me away with all the different colours you used & the little piece of vellum for the beacon of light from the lighthouse was a brilliant idea.. I lived in Northern BC for 5 years & saw the Northern lights & they were breathtaking. I think your second card is a fine representation of them. I’d love, love, love to win this kit as it basically represents where I live & I’d use it over & over. We are living with June gloom also as we seem to have a lot of cloud & rain off the west coast of BC.
Love the June sunshine card! I never saw a netted bag used for shakers, and it works perfectly for this card!
Very pretty cards. Thank you.
Love your cards!! Thank you for posting. Hero Arts is the best!!
Debi, EVERY SINGLE CARD IS PERFECT!!! The attention to detail in every card screams happiness and serenity, something we all need a lot of these days. You have showcased this kit beautifully.
All of your cards are terrific, but I absolutely love your first fold out scene card–it’s OUTSTANDING!
simply beautiful cards
This is great. I love your snow capped mountains.

I Love this kit, can’t wait to get mine! Love the Northern Lights!
You cards are amazing! Like the way you used vellum for the “light” on the first card and the way you gave it dimension. Thanks for all the great inspiration!
These are all gorgeous, love the sweet scene you have created.
Debi- thanks for all of the card inspiration. Your mountain lake scene is so rich, I feel like I’m there. And your June ray of sunshine with the net bag is the bees’ knees! Thanks so much! Stay safe
Such beautiful cards! Love the colors and designs…
Thanks so much for sharing.
You have showcased this new set beautifully!
Your cards are stunning! Your first card is colored so beautifully, and although at first I was not sure what to do with the June die cut…… I am inspired from your card, and absolutely love it, would be great for next year as June is so rainy. Thank you for sharing.
