One Background, Two Cards | Hero Arts July 2023 My Monthly Hero Release

July 5, 2023July 5, 2023 by nicholspohr

Hello friends! Today I’m popping in here with a couple of cards created with new July 2023 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero release products. In the video I share how I used the new Color Layering Watermelon Stencils and Marching Ants Bold Prints to create the amazing background on kraft cardstock, cut the panel in half and get TWO cards from one A2 panel! With the addition of some greetings and simple stamped elements, these cards come together in under an hour and are the perfect summer cards!

Each month I create project(s) with the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Add Ons ONLY giving you ideas and inspiration for incorporating the add-ons into your projects!
