Hello! It's time for another look at the July My Monthly Hero Kit before the kit releases on Monday, July 1 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Caly for another look at this fabulous kit.
Hi, Friends! We're creating with a lake scene-building set this month - all about summer fun! I really enjoy not having to color images sometimes and being able to use those neglected colored ink pads can be fun!
I created my scene by stamping the mountain using Soft Granite and Charcoal ink. Then I stamped the dock using Soft Brown and Cup O Joe ink. After cutting those two images using the coordinating dies, I set them aside to work on my background.
I chose where I wanted the mountain to sit on my card, than used it as a guide for my ink-blending. I ink-blended Soft Yellow ink for the sunlight, then Soft Sky and Navy ink for the sky and lake water. I also used the Navy ink to stamp the water ripples and the rest of the silhouette images to fill my scene using Intense Black ink.
To complete my card, I adhered the mountain and dock onto my card. The sentiment is stamped on Dove White cardstock and matted with Pitch Black cardstock to help it stand out and is adhered to my card using foam adhesive.
I love the silhouettes of the kids jumping into the lake, don't you? I'm not much of a water person, but I can picture my kids having that much fun!

This set is SO AMAZING! I am working this summer at a program for military veterans and their spouses and this stamp set would be SO perfect for making cards ~ as we are on a beautiful lake surrounded by majestic mountains! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win. :-)
You made a great snapshot of a fun day. It makes you want to join right in?
I love the card!
The card showing the two children jumping off the dock is a perfect summertime card! I’m going to have to get this kit, so thanks for the chance to win one!
Are the kids silhouettes part of the MMH kit or from an add-on, they are fantastic, great card!
Love your card and kit!
You’ve captured those carefree summer days at the lake beautifully!
I don’t think anyone could look at this card and not smile.
Can’t wait to play with this kit!
So COOL< reminds me of taking my grandkids camping at our mountain lake in southern Oregon!
This is such a great card. Reminds me of summers spent in Maine as a kid. Love the layered stamps for the mountains and the dock. I can see plenty of uses for this kid already!
I never could bring myself to jump in a lake, but I love your card anyway!🚣♂️
