Today, I’m sharing Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for July 2026. This months theme is You’re the Zest and is perfect for creating cards for many different occasions. I love the combination of stamps, dies & embossing folder with a fun and fresh citrus theme! Ad
Visual Supply list below.
The first card uses the When life gives you Lemons stamp & cut. THe images are heat embossed on watercolour cardstock with Vintage photo distress glaze. The Tree is embossed on the background pieces and the rest of the images are embossed on a separate piece and die cut with the coordinating dies. The images are watercoloured with distress refills and the card is assembled.
The second card uses the Citrus shaker die set to create the lemon shaped shakers. The die cuts are inked with interference in before assembling. The background is cut with the infinity ovals die set before embossing withe the Arched Tiles embossing folder before lightly inked around the edges before assembly. The centres of the flowers are finished off with stickles for a dditional sparkle.
The third card uses the Let’s Ride die set. The bike and sidecard is die cut from Oceanside cardstock and inked with Teal Twist interference ink for added shimmer before assembly. The background piece was stamped with the Arched tiles stamp and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. After assembling the card, Glossy accents are added to the lights and glasses for glossy domed dimension.
The fourth card uses the Citrus Frame die set with the Squeeze the day stamp & cut heat embossed and then die cut for the sentiment. Before assembling, the die cuts are inked with interference ink for additional shimmer.
