Around the World with the Global Team

Good morning, friends! Today we're sharing some fabulous crafty inspiration from our Global Team, using products from the August Hero Studio release (and more!)

To begin, we have these two cards from Anna. She used the August Card Kit of the Month and the Rounded Jewel Infinity Dies to create a design, and then created it with two slightly different colour schemes. 
Emelie created this colourful scene using the June Layering Stencil of the Month. She put the sentiment over a circle of vellum so that it could stand out from the busy background – such a great design trick! 
Joylita created this stunning nativity scene using the Nativity Cover Plate Die.   Her ink blending the background creates such contrast between the starry sky and the Star of Bethlehem and the light in the manger.
This card from Karen is so pretty – the August Cling of the Month stamp creates such a pretty backdrop for the dragonfly from the August Fancy Dies of the Month.
Lisa created this pretty vignette using the August Card Kit of the Month and Nesting Oval Infinity Dies. Using the layering stamps with the foliage at the top and the bottom of the oval creates a beautiful frame to the scene. 
Lounon's tags are so fun! She used the July Fancy Dies of the Month with the Tag Infinity Dies to create these tags with lots of texture and awesome colour!
Michelle used the August Layering Stencils of the Month to create this green on green-on-green card. She coloured some White Pearl Hero Paste with some blue green ink before stenciling the last layer, so that there are layers in both the colour and in the texture.

We hope you enjoy what our Global Team has created! We look forward to sharing more with you in coming months. Thanks so much for visiting – have a wonderful day!
