Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your crafting journey, these 5 new kits offer something for everyone. Let’s dive in!
Studio Card Kit of the Month

I started by creating with the new Hero Studio Card Kit, which is full of wonderfulness! This month’s theme is Urban Skyline.
For my first card, I used the HeroScape layering cloud stamps to create a dramatic sunrise. I laid down and blended LOTS of ink for a really saturated look. I love color and thought the cloud layering stamps would make a stunning, almost abstract background.

How I Created This Urban Sunrise Card:
- I selected the HeroScape stamp from the Hero Studio Card Kit.
- My first step was to lightly blend bands ink on my background (Deluxe Smooth Cardstock) so that the cloud highlights would be slightly tinted. For my base, before I used my layering stamps, I used Lemon Drop, Taffy, Thistle and Cornflower inks.
- I then used the following colors for Stamp 1: Cornflower, Thistle, Taffy and Creamsicle, overlapping each color a bit. I also used a blending brush on the stamp to soften the color changes. I put down a lot of ink for a vibrant effect and I used my Misti stamp positioner so I could restamp my layers. I found a photograph of a beautiful sunrise and used it as my color inspiration.
- For Stamp 2, I used Thistle, Taffy and Lemon Drop inks.
- I trimmed my A2 card base and sunrise panel with my Rounded Rectangles Infinity Dies.
- The kit has LOTS of sentiments and I stamped and die cut my thank you.

Colorful Sunset Cityscape Tags
I also created two tags with the Hero Studio Card Kit stencils. These tags were featured in Hero Arts Countdown Hop and you can read more about my process HERE.

Hero Studio Fancy Dies
I love die cutting, so I had tons of fun creating my window scene card with the new Hero Studio Fancy Dies. This month’s background die is called Urban Window and I think there are endless design options. I love creating scenes, so I know I will be using this die again!

- I began by selecting colored cardstock: Peacock, Papaya, Mist, Arctic and Meadow.
- My base is a leftover piece of background from a project you can read about HERE.
- I die cut my window frame from Peacock cardstock and trimmed off the greenery. I die cut the window frame a second time from Meadow cardstock and layered it behind the Peacock frame, so that my branches would be green. The sky is Arctic.
- I added two birds, a potted plant and a die cut sentiment to finish my scene.
