Sunny Beach Theme Cards | July 2024 Hero Studio Release

Welcome to the July Hero Studio release, where we are bringing a summery beach theme in Hero Arts signature style and quality! Get ready to ignite your creativity and elevate your crafting experience with the brand new lineup of the July Hero Studio cardmaking kits. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your crafting journey, these 5 cardmaking kits offer something for everyone.

Summer is here, and there’s no better way to celebrate the sunny season than with a couple of beach-themed handmade cards. Today I’ve created two delightful designs that I hope will help inspire your crafting adventures.

Tropical Underwater Scene Card | Extraordinary Extra

Today, we’ll dive into making a vibrant, underwater-themed card featuring a stenciled background and beautifully Copic colored die-cut tropical fish. This project is perfect for celebrating summer or simply brightening someone’s day with a splash of color.

This aquatic card was fun to create!

• I tried a new trick for stamping and it worked great! I put the acetate sheet with the Tropical Fishes (SB406) stamps on the sticky mat in my StampWheel and taped my cardstock to the lid and stamped away. This was a real timesaver. So much faster than peeling each stamp off and positioning it.
• For my background, I took a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of Arctic cardstock and stenciled the Pebbles and Stones (SA276) with Pool Party ink and my XL Blending Brush.
• I Copic colored my fish with blues, corals, aquas and tans and then die cut the elements.

Key Products Used:

• Tropical Fishes (SB406)
• Pebbles and Stones Stencil (SA276)
• Pool Party Ink
• XL Blending Brush
• Arctic Cardstock

My Process for This Easy Heroscape Scene Card:

• Using my StampWheel positioner, I started by stamping Summer Sky Ink at the top of my Deluxe Smooth Cardstock panel.
• I then used Splash, Blue Hawaii and a tiny bit of Indigo for the water. I used my Blending Brush on the stamp to soften the color transitions prior to stamping.
• I ink blended Fawn ink for the sand, using a heavier hand along the edges.
• I ink blended Summer Sky for the lower sky.
• Using Onyx Black Pigment Ink, I stamped my silhouette images.
