Hi friends! Welcome to the Hero Arts "My Monthly Hero" June Card Kit blog hop! I'm so happy to see you today! Happy Monday! Happy Summer! Best wishes for an awesome week ahead! The Hero Arts Kit this month is full of Safari themed products to get us ready for the jungle! The Kit features awesome stamps, loads of dies, cool and interesting papers, and ink pads too! The add-ons give you even more versatility with the safari theme. My card for today was inspired by the awesome Tiger layering stamps. OMG they are so great! Two colors - orange and black - but the way the stamp is made, it looks like their tummies are white. Perfection! I had a blast making this card.
You may have arrived here from the lovely Jennifer McGuire's Blog! If you want to start at the beginning of the hop, CLICK HERE to go to the Hero Arts Blog. Lots and lots of inspiration for you today. I am always so grateful to join these fantastic crafters in this monthly hop. If you're new to my blog -welcome! Have fun!
My card started with a white A2 card base. I knew I wanted to use kraft paper so I made a pretty border using the large background stamp and some Versamark Ink. Came out so nice and clean. Then I used the grass die cut to make three olive green layers for my tigers. I die cut that pretty (and giant) sun out of bright yellow paper. Next I stamped and die cut the tigers.
The sentiment is from the main kit, and I stamped it in deep black onto kraft cardstock to match the background layer.
These tigers are so amazing! I will use these stamps again for sure. I'm already thinking of Chinese New Year cards next time it's the year of the Tiger!! They are perfect. I love how the little one is looking up. They were very easy to line up also.
The kit is available NOW! Yippeeeee! Below is a photo of ALL THE STUFF that comes in the main kit. Awesome jungle and safari stamps with matching dies, inks, papers, and more! This is a great value for $34.99! The items sold separately retail for $73.00 or more! Hero Arts is VERY generous with their beautiful kits! The other supplies I used are listed below in my links.

What a magnificent kit! I was on thee shop page on release day and just clicked over to check my bank balance so I could purchase the kit and when I got back to the shop less than a minute later it was sold out! Heartbroken is a word I would use to describe how I felt! Hoping to be the lucky random person who wins this month!
I love your card! The tigers are colored beautifully and the stamped scene is lovely! TFS!

Wanda, your tiger card is precious! I wanted this kit so terribly bad, but due to an unexpected hospital visit I missed out. Love, love, love the animals, colors, and how this kit/these cards bring all the wildlife to life! Thank you for an opportunity to still try and win this kit!

Beautiful card! This is an amazing kit and I'm looking forward to playing with it!! Just so many different ways to use it. Love the versamark on kraft paper look!! I will have to remember that when I'm playing. That's one technique I love when I see it but never think of doing myself. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Hi Wanda ~ Your card is simply awesome and I love the multi-step stamping! Unfortunately I was a day late and a dollar short ordering this kit so it would be awesome to win one. Thanks for sharing your wonderful card (I love kraft paper used in any way!!). ~HUGS~

I love how you combined craft cardstock with those friendly and happy colors. I also love it, that you used the tiger stamp. It's gorgeous.

Ooh! I was hoping to see that tiger stamp in action!

Love the tigers and the bright yellow. Wow!!

Gorgeous card, so much detail in the stamps and die cuts.
Posted by: Tanja S. | 06/08/2017 at 06:03 AM
I was so upset I couldn't get a kit (because it sold out so quickly). But I was able to get the tigers and now you've given us an awesome example using them! Yay and thank you! Pleased to hear they layer up easily.
Still bummed about kit - I know they have the subscription program but I don't always love the kits and I have to limit my spending to the things I really love (ok, to be honest I have to limit it more than that cuz there's a lot out there I really love!). No offense meant to Hero Arts - I own & love lots of their products but the subscription program doesn't work for me.

What a beautiful card.

What a wonderful card! Love how you layered all the beautiful die cuts with the tigers - it's a great graphic and sunny look! Thanks so much for sharing!

I just love the tigers. Beautiful

Heartbroken that I missed this kit by only hours!
I am going to have to quit a different monthly subscription to not miss another awesome Hero Arts kit. It’s really hard to find realistic looking animals. Giraffes are my favorite animal, so sad that I missed a stamp set that was not cartoon style. Would love to be entered at a chance for the giveaway :)

Love those tigers! And I really like how you covered only part of the card with the background stamp!
Posted by: Margaret | 06/07/2017 at 10:02 AM
I love this kit and the card you made from it. I'm so sad it's sold out.
Posted by: Jackie | 06/07/2017 at 10:01 AM

Oh my! Tigers are so magnificent and regal. Love this tiger and cub. I will have to put the Mud Print background stamp on my want list!
