July My Monthly Hero - You're the ZEST!

The best day of the month has arrived! The My Monthly Hero kit this month speaks to me because it is all citrus themed! 🍋 I grew up with orange trees in my yard and we would make gallons and gallons of orange juice every year, so I always love when citrus is "on trend" in the crafty world. 

There are so many elements of this kit that are "must haves"... this border die is absolutely one of them! I made a card with an orange theme and another one with a lemon theme.

This is my lemon version! I actually attempted to turn this one into a shaker card, but I didn't like the end result. However, the glitter from the failed shaker didn't want to let go, and I actually like the end result of random glitter bits.

The border die is exclusive to the My Monthly Super Hero kit, as is the stamp set that features those big bold sentiments. It is definitely worth the upgrade!

How cute is this darling vespa?! This is the second "must have" from this kit. The best part is that the die will fill an entire card front, so less brain use is needed for this one! 😁

How cute is this stamp set?! It is giving me old school Hero Arts vibes in the best way. I paired these sweet images with the beautiful background stamp so put this scene together. All images were colored with my Copic Markers.

Ok now this card showcases Must Have #3!!! A HERO ARTS EMBOSSING FOLDER!!!!!!! This is seriously a BIG DEAL and I freaked out when I opened this kit. Embossing folders are definitely trending back in style, and I am so here for it!

The card above and the card below both use the same lemon shaker dies. I just only turned one of them into an actual shaker.

The MMH kit includes some dies that cut mini citrus bits, so they are perfect for the shaker element. For the background, I used the Wavy Line Die Plate with various shades of light blue cardstock.

Did I already mention the EMBOSSING FOLDER?!!!! This little lemon basket is actually part of the vespa die set. It was so sweet on its own that I wanted it to have its very own card.

By the way, did you know there was an EMBOSSING FOLDER included in this kit?! For my final card today, I inked up the inside of the folder with Green Apple and then ran it through my machine with Rainforest cardstock. This card is also paired with another favorite die in my stash, Wood Frame Infinity Dies.

Packed with Love

 Hello hello! I have a cutesy card to share quickly today... let's get to it!

This card showcases the darling Ready to Roll die set. My animals are always checking on my suitcases when I get pack, and they're also small enough to jump inside when they really want to stop me :)

I really love the sentiment, packed with love, which comes from the Partners in Brine set. I added some subtle detail with the Sweater Weather embossing folder. All cardstock is from the ColorWheel collection.

Mahalo!

 I was lucky enough to get my hands on the June 2026 Small Die of the Month... lucky because many of the kits this month have already sold out! I just checked and this sea turtle is still available!

I paired the Small Die of the Month (Mahalo Sea Turtle) with the Stitching Die of the Month (Luau Beats), which included the Hawaiian flowers.

It was also super easy to turn into a shaker card with that window cut out (included in the Mahalo Sea Turtle set!). The solid cardstocks are all from the ColorWheel Collection. The lovely glitter teal cardstock is from a dear crafty friend!
