Hero Arts June My Monthly Hero Kit Release!!

3 Jun

Good afternoon!  It’s the first Monday of the month which means it’s release time for the June My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts!!  The June kit is now available for purchase at Hero Arts but once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good so make sure to head over and shop soon!  This month we are donating 10% of the net profits to jungle habitat preservation at the World Wildlife Fund!

This packed kit contains:

  • 6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
  • 20 Coordinating Frame Cuts
  • 2 Jungle Vine Fancy Dies
  • 6″ x 6″ Leaf Pattern Stencil
  • Watercolor Dot Card
  • Intense-ified Black Ink Cube

And there are several fun add-on sets available and I used a few of them to create my card today!  All products will be linked below! 🙂

Toucan Do Anything by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

To start I watercolored a pattern using the add-on Jungle Mist liquid watercolor.  I applied the color heavily at the top of the panel and diluted it down with clean water until it faded almost to nothing.  Once it dried I trimmed it down to an A2 panel and adhered it to a white card base.  I die-cut the Jungle Frame fancy die with pitch black cardstock and adhered it over the watercolor panel.

Toucan Do Anything by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

Next I stamped the flowers, toucan, and leaf from Hello Toucan with versafine and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  I colored them with copics and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I also stamped the sentiment on white cardstock with the Intensified ink cube included in the kit!  I layered the bird and flowers with foam mounting tape and regular adhesive and adhered them to the card.  Then I added the sentiment with foam tape to finish the card!

Thanks so much for visiting and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with the June My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts!

Interested in the products I used?  To make them easy for you to find, I have listed them below. (Affiliate disclosure can be found here). Your purchases help keep my blog running and I thank you for the support!

    Love the way you kept the frame black like a silhouette. Gave the toucan and colorful flowers something to really pop against. Thanks for sharing!

    This card is amazing, Jess! I really like that frame, and it goes perfectly with the rest of the kit! I love the black, so that the pelican really stands out and pop’s off the card. Stunning! I love all the coordinating dies with this months kit too. I always use my stamps with coordinating dies the most.

❤️❤️❤️ My friend @lstein0 is a miracle worker! Rogue is very much NOT a cuddly lap cat. She’s happy to come to you when she wants attention but she never wants to lay next to us. Until she discovered the soft and comfy blanket Lisa crocheted for me...and she loves it enough that she’s willing to share it with me and actually rest her head on my leg! 😱😱😱 Also pictured, a VERY jealous Gambit as that is usually where he lays. 😂 #tortiesofinstagram #torties
