Fade To White | Trinity Stamps

If you can’t tell, I love space and galaxy cards. This is no exception and I just love the fade to white as well… less pressure to fill up the space … pun intended!

Layering | Pretty Pink Posh

I love using a bunch of sets together to create a cohesive card. This one is so fun because it’s on theme for all the citrusy fruits. Summer is just around the corner!

Paste on Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

I do love a paste on the texture embossing folders. Using gold paste, it gives it more of a vintage vibe but I definitely went with a simple sentiment on top.

Hero Studio June 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the June 2025 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Clear Set + Dies of the Month 3) Fancy Die of the Month 4) Layering Stencil Set of the Month 5) Cling of the Month and 6) Whole Studio (all 5 in one!).

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the June Card Kit of the Month.

Includes:

  • Summer State of Mind 6×8 Clear Stamp Set
  • Summer State of Mind Coordinating Dies 
  • Beach Bag Die Set
  • Sand Embossing Powder, 0.5 oz.
  • 10 Sheets of Cardstock (2 of each color), 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Fawn, Coral, Seaside, Waterfall, Blue Spruce)

There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Rachel Kleinman‘s blog and your next stop will be Anna Mahtani. The full blog list will also be updated below!

I have two cards to share with you today featuring the Card Kit of the Month and the Cling of the Month.

The first card focuses on the June Card Kit of the Month. I loved all the images in the stamp set so I decided that they are perfect for a picnic scene. I stamped and masked all the images, which were pretty easy to cut out. I stamped the Cling of the Month with Cotton Candy ink to add the pattern my picnic blanket. I colored it all up and to finish the card off, I added a simple sentiment at the bottom left of the card stmaped using Intens-ified Black Ink.

My second project focuses on the Cling of the Month. I wanted to use a variety of bright colors so I pulled out Canary, Azalea, and Paradise cardstock. I used the Cling of the Month to add a tone on tone pattern… Azalea ink on Azalea cardstock and Butterbar ink to Canary cardstock. Then I stamped the Bonus stamp set that you get when you subscribe to the Whole Studio using Intens-ified Black Ink on Paradise Cardstock. The mix of all the colors really does scream summer, doesn’t it!?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!

Giveaway:

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Friday, June 6th at 11:59pm PDT, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win!

Space Skies | Trinity Stamps

I love ink blending skies — it’s because you can make it look so messy but it’ll all come together when you add a bit of white splatter.

Coloring — Kind of | Honey Bee Stamps

Embossing folders have really pretty details but sometimes you want to step away from tone on tone, so I used the detail brushes to add a bit of color.

Acrylic Marker Coloring | Trinity Stamps x Shuttle Art

I tested out those Shuttle Art Acrylic Markers for coloring and it’s a bit of a learning curve but you know what, I kinda love it — it works really well on black cardstock and I don’t have to mask or create a background. Looks really good for a first try I think!

Acrylic Markers Unbox & Swatch | Shuttle Art

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect from these but they kinda exceeded my expectations. I love how the ink flowed. Although, it’s not as opaque as I wanted on black, it does a really good job. I liked them enough to immediately make a card after and I’ll be sharing that soon!
