Hero Arts | June 2018 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop. Video. Giveaway

Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by to help celebrate the launch of Hero Arts June 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit (more about the kit, blog hop and giveaway below). I have one hot tropical card idea to share using this month kit only and also a bunch of Summer cards using add-on sets. Here’s a look at all of the cards I made:

CARD DETAILS USING KIT ONLY

This month kit is all about the sea! The card I made pictures a beautiful summer sunset by the sea in hot pink and red colors. I wanted to walk away from the traditional blues here and instead used pinks.

I used my mini MISTI and several colors of ink from Hero Arts. June kit features and image that is color layering ocean or sea. Hero Arts is well known for their fabulous color layering images and I am a huge fan of their sets (I film regular monthly videos with the Hero Arts color layering sets called Color Layering with Yana).

To stamp the color layering water for my card I used pinks – Cotton Candy, Ultra Pink and Crimson. I stamped the layering water image twice to extend it on my card – so there’s no shore, just pretty water and gorgeous sky.

Once my stamping was done I used ink blending tool and same inks I used for stamping to add some blending. I blended Cotton Candy ink where my two water images met to fix the white area and also blended Crimson above the water to create a red sky.

There are several cloud images in this month kit, all are layering and have 2 layers each. Clouds, because they are white, are tricky to stamp. I found I liked mine best when stamped in white for the base layer and heat embossed in white for the detail layer.

I finished my card by adding a vellum sentiment circle with a heat embossed “Hello! Greetings From My Happy Place”.

CARDS DETAILS USING ADD-ONS

I loved the add on stamp sets available from Hero this month and I could not get myself to put them down. I made a number of cards using add-ons, sharing them all below.

I love to play with background stamps and there are two fabulous backgrounds this month. For the 3 cards below I used Beach Umbrellas cling background stamp. For the card you see immediately below I white heat embossed umbrellas onto white and did simple ink blending to create a colorful background.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Beach Umbrellas Let's Go on Vacay card by Yana Smakula. Ink blended summer background card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #beachcard #yanasmakula

I used Green Hills, Rose Madder and also Butter Bar to create a diagonal ink blended look. I love this beach umbrellas background and it’s one of the best background stamps I’ve ever seen for summer. To finish this card I added Let’s Go On Vacay sentiment heat embossed 3 times onto black and also added additional beach umbrellas as embellishments .

Beach Umbrellas Let's Go on Vacay card by Yana Smakula. Ink blended summer background card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #beachcard #yanasmakula

For my 2nd card (below) I wanted to have a sandy look and feel to my umbrellas, I actually wanted to make it look like as it they are in the sand so I used kraft paper and clear heat embossed this background onto kraft. Next, to add color to these umbrellas I used my Polychromos pencils.

To spice my umbrellas up I decided I wanted to add little brads to emphasize this umbrella look. You might have noticed a tiny gold cap on the 3 umbrellas on my previous card – that’s what those were, they were tiny gold brads. I used my Tool n One and poked holes in the middle of my colored umbrellas and added gold brads onto each hole to make these umbrellas look a bit more realistic.

To finish this card I gold heat embossed little drinks and also a sentiment that reads Beach, Please – Eat Sleep, Beach, Repeat on to same kraft paper, I cut it into a pennant and foam mounted onto the card.

I also wanted to add an interactive object onto my card, so I turned one of the umbrellas into a little spinner – so you can actually spin the green umbrella on this card. I think it’s so fun and very easy to do too, you just need a brad for this.

Another awesome background stamp that is an add on this month is Abstract Waves stamp and it’s just an awesome stamp for anything that is sea related. So it’s not just one for summer, but can be used all year round with fun sea critters.

Here I once again heat embossed it in white on white and blended Hero Arts Aquatic and Navy ink turning this background into sea blue one and not white. To add some shimmer to this background I used Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer mist – this was an add on in one of Hero’s kits a few month ago – I’ve been using it a lot lately to add lovely shimmery shine and splatter to my cards.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Happiness Comes in Waves card by Yana Smakula using Abstract Waves background. Ink summer ocean background card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #oceancard #yanasmakula

To create a sentiment for this card I used images and sentiment from the Beach Messages stamp set. I white heat embossed Happiness Comes in waves, added a sun a waves image and blended yellow and blue ink creating a quick ink blended sunset. I used Hero’s Frost Sequin Mix to embellish this card.

For the card below I stamped a crab and “Have a shell of a time” sentiment. I stamped sentiment twice – once in black and once in blue to have a drop shadow.

I colored crab using Copic markers, added white pen details and google eyes. I also used red sequins to embellish this card.

I loved this crab image. He’s so adorable and unique, I have not seen a crab image before, nor do I have one in my stash. And whenever I come across and image like that I immediately want to use to make a pattern. So here I used it to make a crabby pattern for another card.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Sorry I Was Crabby Card by Yana Smakula using Beach Messages stamp set. Crab pattern. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #crabpattern #yanasmakula

I stamped crab repeatedly onto white cardstok panel in alcohol marker friendly ink – I made sure to rotate the image to make this pattern appear random and unique and than I just used my Copics and colored each crab red.

The colors I used were R39, R27 and R22. I also used a white gel pen once the Copic coloring was dry to add white pen details to this image. You do need to wait for the alcohol ink to dry before adding the white pen detail as if you don’t – the ink will eat up the white pen and it won’t be nice and true white.

I competed this card by adding Sorry I Was Crabby sentiment – I white heat embossed it onto Simon’s Green Apple cardstock 3 times and cut into 3 cute banners for my card. I also added Hero Arts ombre sequins in green in-between my crabs filling in any empty spaces.

Moving on! Next I wanted to use the drink and pineapple image from the Beach Messages stamp set to make some Beach Towel cards. I stamped Tropic Like It’s Hot sentiment in Black ink, added a sun stamped in yellow and waves stamped in blue.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Tropic Like It's Hot card by Yana Smakula using Beach Messages stamp set. Summer drinks & pineapple card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #yanasmakula

I blended yellow and blue ink to create a sunset background. The blue ink blended smeared some black stamping a bit, so I had to re-stamp “Like It’s Hot” onto another piece of cardstock and foam mounted it onto my panel.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Tropic Like It's Hot card by Yana Smakula using Beach Messages stamp set. Summer drinks & pineapple card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #yanasmakula

I also stamped and colored a drink and a pineapple. I used my Copics and a white pen to make these images come to life. I cut them out using scissors and foam mounted onto the panel.

Hero Arts June 2018 MY Monthly Hero Kit #mymonthlyhero Add On Cards. Tropic Like It's Hot card by Yana Smakula using Beach Messages stamp set. Summer drinks & pineapple card. #stamping #heroarts #cardmaking #summercard #yanasmakula

I wanted to create a beach towel look for the background of this card. I took a panel of light blue cardstok as my background, this is Sea Glass cardstock from Simon and also white cardstock. I cut the white paper into half an inch strips, added double sided tape from the back and adhered white strips onto my blue background at half an inch intervals making a striped background that looks like a beach towel.

Seriously, does it not look like that? And it was so easy to make! I’m tempted to try and use other colors of cardstock and i’ve also pulled out some of my older striped stamp sets to be able to stamp the colorful stripes instead of using cardstock.
