I shared this card on the Hero Arts blog this weekend:
And I’m sharing this card over on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog! 😉
And finally, I’m sharing a card using several of the fantastic add-ons here!
I also have a video for this card that you can watch below or over at my Youtube channel:
To start, using my MISTI, I stamped the State-Cation bold prints background stamp onto a panel of watercolor paper with embossing ink and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I shifted the panel up one grid square and over two in my MISTI and stamped it again. This gave me a repeating pattern that filled my panel but wasn’t totally lined up the same. Then I smooshed reactive inks onto my palette and used them to loosely watercolor my panel in a circular rainbow. I used Taffy, Fruit Punch, Creamsicle, Lemon Drop, Key Lime Fizz, Pool Party, Splash, and Thistle. I let the panel dry and then added splatters of water and iridescent spray. Once it was completely dry I trimmed it down to an A2 panel.
Next I die-cut the largest US Map Infinity die from white cardstock and trimmed a bit off the west coast off so it would fit on my card panel. I adhered it to my watercolored panel and added the little directional marker die-cut from cherry cardstock approximately over the location of my home in Northern Virginia. I stamped the sentiment from Camp Mi Casa onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a thin label. I used foam mounting tape to add it to my card panel. Finally I stamped “Miss You” from Camp Mi Casa onto the inside of my card base and added a little red heart also die-cut from the US Map Infinity die set to finish the card!
And that’s it! Head over and pick up your My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today!

I love the dog add-on. I must have it!
awesome cards as always
Love the new kit and your cards especially the add-on of the US map. So creative!
Fantastic cards as always. My favorite is the one with the map and all the names of the states. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome cards, Jess! Love the way you used the Map die for the Wish You Were Here card!!
Love your cards, especially the pups!
Such fun cards
Great looking cards, simple, colorful and elegant
I love your cards! They’re so homey!
I have to have this die and the words. I really am on a limited budget; I was wondering with painting with reactive inks if you could use the reinkers instead of buying the pad of the reactive inks? Thank you, Lee
PS your card is beautiful
Love the dogs in the floats!
I just love the dogs relaxing in the water. This is a great card for all the dog lovers like me out there. They are so cute and funny!
Great card Jess! I love that BG stamp! I also love the easy watercoloring technique! what a clever idea and what a great card for these times.
I love all of these but the dogs relaxing in the water is my fav! TOO CUTE!
Love seeing the different takes on these new stamps. Great idea about double stamping the Staycation stamp, very cool card.
Such a fun new release from Hero Arts! Thanks for sharing your video—love how you created that background with the stamp and shifting it over before embossing and coloring. It’s always fun to see what you create!!
