Hero Arts Coney Club Hot Dog Stamp & Cut Card

Sometimes the simplest cards end up being my favourites, and this one definitely falls into that category!

I recently picked up the Hero Arts Coney Island Club bundle (yes… the entire bundle 😄), and I couldn’t wait to start creating with it. This sweet little hot dog immediately became the star of today’s card.

To keep the focus on the image and sentiment, I created my own custom background using the Hot Dog Clear Stamp Set, stamping the hot dogs and mustard bottles in a light tone-on-tone pattern. The centre panel is layered over yellow gingham paper from the Spellbinders ColorWheel Collection, which gives the card fun summer picnic vibes without competing with the focal image.

The bold “HOT DOG!” sentiment is layered with a pop of red cardstock for extra dimension, while the secondary sentiment, “You’re Bun of a Kind,” comes from the Many Franks Stamp Set.

To finish everything off, I added a few Hero Arts enamel dots around the sentiment panel. They’re a small detail, but they help balance the design and draw your eye right into the centre of the card.

I love how cheerful this card turned out, and I have a feeling this bundle is going to see a lot of use!

Hero Arts My Monthly Super Hero June 2026| Bright Summer Popsicle Card

Summer cards don’t have to be complicated to make a big impact. For this project, I kept the design clean and playful by arranging colorful popsicles in a circular pattern around the “Soak Up the Fun” sentiment from the Hero Arts June 2026 My Monthly Hero – Hello Summer Stamp & Cut collection.

Each popsicle was die cut from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock, creating a bright rainbow palette without any ink blending on the die cuts themselves. To keep the focus on the colorful treats, I added a soft yellow ink-blended glow behind the sentiment, then finished the card with white gel pen highlights, clear embellishments, and a few tiny white splatters for a light, summery feel. The flip-flops and daisy accents help frame the design while keeping plenty of clean white space.

also carried the summer theme inside the card with a simple sun and daisy embellishments, giving the inside a finished look without adding bulk.

Sometimes a handful of bright colors, a strong focal sentiment, and a little shine are all you need to create a cheerful summer card. ☀️🍦

Hero Arts My Monthly Super Hero June 2026 Sippin Summer Poolside

Nothing says summer quite like a floppy sun hat, a refreshing drink, and bright, cheerful colors! ☀️🍹

These two cards were created using the Hero Arts June My Monthly Super Hero collection, Soak Up the Sun, featuring the fabulous Sippin’ Summer Die Set paired with the coordinating Fabulous Phrases Stamp & Cut sentiments. For the backgrounds, I used the fun Wavy Lines Cutting Die, which adds the perfect amount of movement and lets you experiment with endless color combinations.  

Rather than recreating the colors from the product packaging, I challenged myself to explore two completely different palettes. The first card leans into bright tropical sunset tones with warm oranges, coral, pinks and aqua, while the second combines cool teals with rich berry accents for a fresh, modern summer feel.

All of the cardstock used on both cards is from the Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock Collection. I love how effortlessly the colors mix and match, making it easy to create bold layered backgrounds while keeping everything cohesive.

These dies were such a joy to work with, and I can already tell they’ll be getting plenty of use throughout the summer. Changing only a few cardstock colors completely transforms the look of the design, which is one of my favorite things about layered die-cutting!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these cards inspire you to experiment with your own favorite color combinations. Sometimes simply swapping a few colors is all it takes to make a design feel completely new.
