Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Hero Arts today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the Hero Studio July 2025 release called Road Trip. The Card Kit of the Month, Stamp & Cut of the Month, Dies of the Month, Layering Stencils of the Month, and Cling of the Month are all releasing today. You can also purchase the Whole Studio which includes all of the kits and a free gift. Today, I am focussing on the Card Kit and the Stamp & Cut of the Month.

HERO STUDIO CARD KIT OF THE MONTH
I started off my card by taking the dies from the Hero Studio July 2025 Card Kit of the Month and die cutting the arm and coffee cup. I cut the arm itself from Spellbinders Alabaster ColorWheel Cardstock and the sleeve and cuff from Spellbinders Seaside and Waterfall ColorWheel Cardstock respectively. For the coffee cup, I used Classic White and Fawn Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock.
I assembled the pieces and adhered them using Bearly Art Glue. I then attached the hand to to coffee cup, so that it looks like it is holding it and added thin foam tape on the back. It was adhered to a 4.25" x 5.25" panel of white cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment from the kit stamp set onto more white cardstock using Intens-ified Black Ink.
It was die cut out using the coordinating die and then the die cut another two times from white cardstock. I adhered them one on top of another with the stamped one on top (for added dimension) and then adhered onto the panel. The panel was then adhered to a US A2 sized card base made from Waterfall cardstock with foam tape. To finish, I die cut the smallest Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies from Seaside cardstock and adhered it to the coffee cup.

HERO STUDIO STAMP & CUT OF THE MONTH
I started off my card by stamping the 'friend' word from the Hero Studio July 2025 Stamp & Cut of the Month onto white cardstock using Intens-ified Black Ink. There are two parts to the word - the outline and the shadow, so that you can stamp them in different colours if you want to. I just opted to keep mine black and white. It was then die cut out using the coordinating die. I cut the die another four times from white cardstock and stacked and adhered them behind the stamped one.
I then die cut two hearts from the Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies from white cardstock. On one, I cut a little off the bottom so that it could stand up better and also scored a line at the top to create a hinge. I added adhesive to the hinge and adhered to the back of the other one to create a heart shaped card base. I die cut strips of cardstock using the Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Dies and adhered them on to the card base, cutting the excess off the sides with scissors.
I adhered the friend word on top. I then stamped the accompanying sentiment from the kit onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.
WHAT’S IN THE KIT?
The Hero Studio July 2025 Stamp & Cut of the Month is called Sending Big Hugs. It is a 4" x 6" stamp set with coordinating dies.
