Oh hey and happy My Monthly Hero Kit release launch for August and what a launch it is, and as always, we’re doing a blog hop and giveaway so make sure to go to the end of this post for those details!
Staycation. Looks like it’s a popular spot this year but no reservations needed! Have you had one yet? Better yet, do you need one? Well I’m pretty sure by now you can guess what the theme is for the My Month Hero Kit and add-ons. Do you have a favorite thing you like to do at home? Pretty sure somewhere in this launch there is something relatable. As I said on the Hero blog on Friday, choosing a card or even two to showcase was really hard because all the images by the Hero Arts in-house designers are fabulous. So today, I am featuring just a few of them and then throughout the week I will post either here again or on Instagram.
Here’s a look at the My Monthly Hero Kit for August. Something for everyone in the family! The entire collection is regularly a $76.00 value and is available for $34.99 but this is one of those special purchases that when it’s sold out, it’s gone and will not be restocked. You will definitely want to get in on this one. Info on purchasing any of the products here today is located at the bottom of my post.
You will receive the following:
• 6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
•23 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 1 Greetings Fancy Die
• 5 White Postcards
• Summer Twilight Palette Reactive Ink Pad
First sample up is the My Monthly Hero Kit card. Yes, we have a guy in there, chillaxin’. Whoo hoo! It maybe a “Staycation” theme but it’s good for Father’s Day, birthday and retirement too! Also, check out those clouds. Can you guess what they really are? Ok, so I was desperate!
And, we also have a gal…
Both cards used Copic markers for coloring and cardstock for color blocking. So is it reading or a glass of wine/drink for you?
***********************************************************************
Of course I always like to show add-ons on “opening day”. I love this set. The “slat” background was created by adding raised strips of Dove White cardstock onto a tan background. Kind of thought it brought that boho vibe home, literally. A few wooden beads held the sentiment in place. The rest of the images were stamped in Intense Black ink onto Dove White cardstock, die-cut, and colored with Copic Markers.
Oh my, and these “shibori” tie dyed shirts are to die for. Big shibori fan here, but I will showcase them later as retro tie dye shirts in neon colors. Again, kudos to the Hero Arts design team for making such fabulous images to create with. I had an idea for working with these dies so I pulled out the Cabinet Door Fancy Die and cut it out because it resembled the mid-century cylinder blocks from the 60’s. I added the stamped and brushed Onesies, using Navy Mid-tone Ink, along with some of the plants from the set above and put them all together. You see a 60’s set here? Think I will be using this one often.
Well there you have just a few of my launch cards. Hope it gave you some ideas for creating. If you are looking for more inspiration, Daniel West is next on the hop. I know he has been busy packing a punch with his fabulous style! If you missed anyone along the way, the blog hop list is below along with the giveaway information and product links for all the sets I used here.
Thanks for visiting!

So glad you didn’t ask which is a favourite in your fantastic array of cards, as I just couldn’t choose. All of them are Fabulous! I think the backgrounds & add-ons you used brought them to a whole other level. The slats was a brilliant idea! I can have a stay-cation each day as my home & yard is my sanctuary. I have a zero-gravity chair in which I sit with a drink of some sort, my sun hat on & a good book in hand. Usually my favourite dog in the whole world is laying somewhere close by. Oh, what more could a girl ask for? lol
I love this release as it relates to my world so well!
Love your cards and the FABULOUS backgrounds!
Especially like your color blocking with cardstock!
What fabulous cards! Your cards are always so well designed and perfectly put together! I love all of the color combinations and the addition of the wooden beads holding up the sign!
Great cards.
I am fascinated by your backgrounds, great use of dimension, color and cardstock.
Wow! There is so much to love here! The color blocking on the first couple of cards is fantastic. I really love the slats on the one, and holy cow the shibori is amazing! I have been a tie-dye lover for so long anyways oh, and you did a fantastic job with the shibori! I am really loving this release from Hero Arts and they’re always amazing!
Wow! So much creative talent displayed here! In fact, all of the designers have really brought all of their talent to the table with this month’s kit. I love the slats you created behind the teepee, and the scenes you’ve created are all so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks so much!
Those are great cards. Love the greetings you had made into signs. Love how folks are using the tie dye set. Great ideas

Hi Debi,
I just discovered your blog. I am pretty new to the Hero Arts subscription. I love the work you do and today I finally had time to play with a couple of the monthly kits I recently received. I love, love love the Northern Lights stamp and the card you made. This new kit looks like a lot of fun! I can’t wait to try it!
As always, just love your cards!
Great designs and choice of colors.
Thanks for these lovely design ideas – especially the tie dye shirt! Gotta have that stamp and die!
We’re all pretty much stuck at home, but your ideas at least put a positive spin on the situation! I’m all for positives! Thanks, Debi for your inspirations and I love your colors!
