Hero Studio August 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the August 2025 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Stamp & Cut of the Month 3) Die Set 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 August Card Kit of the Month.

Includes:

  • Abraham and Katrina 6×8 Stamp Set
  • Abraham and Katrina Coordinating Dies
  • Stamping Guide for stamp set
  • Victorian Frame Die Set
  • Pear Blosson Press-One Light 2 Pack
  • 10 Sheets of Cardstock- 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Cinnamon, Terra Cotta, Carrot, Coral, Bellini, Tuscan, Mint, Waterfall, Blue Spruce, Raven)
  • Holographic Rainbow Film, 1 sheet – 5.5″ x 8.5″
  • Acetate, 1 sheet – 5.5″ x 8.5″

There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Jennifer Kotas‘s blog and your next stop will be Charlene Madrid. 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 Layering Stencil Set of the Month. The connecting feature is actually the Layering Stencil Set of the Month used for both cards and it kind of works as coordinating cards.

My first project focuses on the Layering Stencil Set of the Month. Spooky cards are my favorite and this kit fits the bill. It’s the perfect stencil pattern for a background. There are four layers, so I picked out four Core Ink colors to use: Papaya, Butter Bar, Moss and Orchid. I also wanted to use the Card Kit for the images. This is a layering set, so lots of ink colors! For both, I used Sand and Antique Ivory for the base. For the man, I used Espresso and Charcoal. For the woman, I used Orchid and Grape Juice. I also die cut the frames in this Card Kit, using ___ cardstock. I used Intens-ified Black Ink to stamp the sentiment and die cut it with the coordinating dies. I placed the Layering Stencil Set at the bottom of my card panel, and the framed individuals on top with the sentiment at the bottom of the frames.

The second card focuses on the August Card Kit of the Month, especially the woman and man as my spotlight. To start off, I stamp all the layers to create their look. For the base of the man and woman, I used Sand and Antique Ivory. For the woman, I used Cotton Candy and Ultra Pink and for the man, I used Cornflower and Nautical. After stamping, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamp the the spider web using the Embossing & Watermark ink and embossed it using Satin Pearl embossing powder on Pitch Black cardstock. I used the portion I trimmed from the Layering Stencil placing it at the bottom of the card panel and stamped the sentiment from the Stamp and Cut set with Intens-ified Black Ink right on top. I use the Crystal Ball die from the Stamp and Cut of the Month so I can place the images inside and that is the focal point of my card!

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!
