August My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway

Welcome back to the Countdown to Creativity! The August My Monthly Hero Kit release day is Monday, August 3, at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Now let's join Janette for another wonderful peek at this month's "Staycation" themed kit!

Hello friends! I am absolutely loving the versatility and colorability of this month's kit. Go big with scene building, or crisp and clean with a focal element. I've paired simple ink blending for a beachy vibe with a bit of scene building to create something similar to my own little paradise.

Recreate this dreamy escape by ink blending Indigo, Aegean and Soft Brown inks on 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" Dove White cardstock. Blend blue to teal and fade to white. Bring the brown up from the bottom, also fading softly to white.

Stamp chosen kit images in Intens-ified Black ink and Copic color. Die cut all images. Adhere images flat to blended panel, tucking and overlapping to build scene.

White Detail heat emboss large sentiment onto blended panel and small sentiment onto Pitch Black cardstock. Adhere completed panel with foam tape to folded card base.

*** Win a kit before you can buy it *** Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, August 3rd, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

Carol L.,

I don’t think I have ever seen a stamp set with a hanging swing seat like this one! What a great little relaxing scene – it makes you want to sit in the swing and read a book.

Francine,

This theme is right up my alley! Cant wait for the reveal!

Lynn C.,

I love that chair. I can see someone sitting in that chair on a beautiful summer day. I’m really looking
forward to this month’s kit. I also love the vibrant colors. Thanks for sharing.

Mary-Anne V,

What a pretty card…love the blending and the fun images

Beth Harple,

I think I will need to get this set, my daughter just bought a song chair like that for her apartament
