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!

More Art Deco!

 In an earlier post, I was raving about this gorgeous art deco die plate... and clearly I didn't get enough of it because I have four more cards to share today!

I had another field day with the Gilded Glass bundle today. I'll be sharing two cards with some color variation, and two cards that are monochromatic.

This first card was inspired by a beautiful Talavera bowl that was gifted to me. The blue and white pattern was a perfect fit for this card.

This card features two of the newest colors from Concord and 9th, Capri and Bluebell.

My second card is alllll about the new Bluebell cardstock! I only added some white acrylic splatter pain and clear gems.

I had fun with this color combo! I used some of the Capri cardstock and paired it with Starfruit and silver. I did pop up the inner layer so there is a bit of dimension there.

My last card is another monochromatic version with Starfruit only. I did add some black speckle paint, used the Cheers to You sentiment from the Gilded Glass bundle, and finished it off with some black sequins.

Luau Beats

 The new June club kits are now open to new subscribers! This month's kits give me complete Moana vibes; you definitely don't want to miss out! Today I'm sharing a card using the Stitching Die of the Month called Luau Beats.

The Luau Beats set actually has a lot of elements included with it. The drum, the flowers, and the cute guitar are all a part of the set! To create this scene, I added in some classic Hero Arts items. First I stamped the cardstock with the Leafy Background Cling Stamp and then die cut the frame from Arches Infinity Die.

I tucked in some grass some the Butterfly Foliage Fancy Die on the bottom and a fluffy cloud on the top from the Clouds Die Set (a must have staple!).

Art Deco Perfection

 Another incredible die plate was recently released from Concord and 9th called Gilded Glass. These dies get me hooked and I end up making 5 of them at once. My dad often requests thank you cards, so I created this set that mimics the style and colors of the art deco tiles on his kitchen walls...

I started by cutting the die plate from the following cardstocks: Stardust, Buttercup, Rainforest, Oceanside, and Peacock.

Each card has the border outline in one of the 5 cardstocks listed above, and I glued in the other pieces from the remaining 4 cardstocks.

I did a couple cards with some white space in the design, and a solid color in the middle.

Now to just add some more photos of the others!...

I hope you've been inspired to add Gilded Glass to your collection!

My Monthly Hero June 2026 - 10 Cards!

 Happy June! I am so very excited for this month's My Monthly Hero kits. It is so perfect for summer, and also reminds me a lot of my childhood where the neighbors and I would hop from pool to pool all day long.

My first card is inspired by my childhood pool! The Crackle Paint embossing folder (not part of the kit) is an exact recreation of my pool deck in my home growing up. We also had a kidney bean shaped pool! Every other element on the card is from the June MMH Kit. I absolutely adore that pool water stencil - you'll be seeing more of it on this post!

My second pool card is a bit of a peek-a-boo. I cut the pool from the front of the card and added the swimmers to the inside of the card...

I used acetate sheets to cover the front of the card. Every item on this card also just uses the MMH June 2026 kit. All cardstocks used are from the Spellbinders ColorWheel collection.

I really wanted to use the pool water stencil to create a  beach scene. The beach is created using Sand Embossing Powder. I also used some wave dies from past Hero Arts collections, Making Waves and the Partners in Brine set.

The June Kit also comes with a lot of fun little accessories and pool floaties. I die cut multiple watermelon floaties and the fun sentiment to create this simple but graphic card. It also showcases one of my favorite infinity dies, Postage Stamps.

My next card also features some of the fun pool floaties, but this time the popsicle! Another simple, yet graphic card. The sentiment and the sun are from the stamp and die set that are also included in the main June Kit. By the way, creamsicle orange pops are always the best.

As someone who lived in flip flops for a good 18 years of my life, to the point where it took 5+ years to remove the flip flop tan from my feet, I had to showcase this little stamp from the June Kit! I stamped a variety of flip flops in different colors to put this bold card together. Life really is better in flip flops!

My next group of cards features the June 2026 My Monthly Super Hero Kit. The Super Hero kit includes everything from the main kit, plus the girl in sunhat die set, the scripty sentiment stamps and dies, and the fun "hello sunshine" die set.

I really love how the pool floaties can be used in so many different ways. This card features a variety of floaties, plus the fun 'hello sunshine' scripty die from the Super Hero Kit. I also splattered the card with white acrylic speckle ink.

I just love this sweet die set! I have definitely owned a giant floppy sunhat with scripty words on it, so this resonated with me! 🤣 And I'd love to drink whatever she's drinking right now! The little soda/drink dies are also included in this large die set with the Super Hero kit.

The hat itself can also take over an entire card. I paired the floppy hat with some a scripty "happy birthday" sentiment. Just add some black speckle ink and it's done!

OK - last card!! I really wanted to do a full pool card so I just added a couple floaties, a girl in my favorite swim suit color, and the bold 'hello sunshine' sentiment. The Super Hero Kit is a great addition to your summer stash!
