August My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #1 + Giveaway

Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the August My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, August 3 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Our Creative Team will be here all weekend long, sharing inspiration before the launch on Monday. Now let's join Debi for the first look at the kit!

Oh hey! Time for some fun in the sun via a "staycation"! I’m Debi Adams and here’s a sneak peek into the My Monthly Hero Kit for August 2020. There are soooo many fabulous designs, yet again, that it made it hard to show just one card using this collection. I loved the positivity in these designs that, in spite of not being able to travel much, we can still find some chillaxin’ things to do.

This card uses strips of yellow and blue cardstock adhered to a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” top folding card for the background. A rectangle is die-cut from a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Dove White cardstock using the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies and then the large sentiment is stamped at the bottom with Intense Black ink. The entire frame is adhered to the main card base using foam dots. Now the fun begins! I love the stamping, die-cutting and coloring of the images. It’s kind of like putting the frosting on the cake. All my images were colored with Copic markers. The last image, “Hello From:” was stamped and embossed using white embossing powder and VersaMark onto Pitch Black cardstock. That’s it! I love that creating is one of those things we can do while being safe inside our home.

Hope you will join us for the blog hop on Monday where we will show a ton of projects with more of the My Monthly Hero Kit plus all of the fabulous add-ons!

I love this card. The sentiment is GREAT. I usually spend a lot of my time reading in the summer usually at a lake. With Covid19 this summer that didn’t happen but this card makes me feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing.

Jessica Williams,

Such a cut card! Love what you did with the background.
