Hello friends! I’ve got two fun cards to share using the Hero Arts July Card Kit called Road Trip. This monthly kit is always full of surprises, and this one is packed with stamps, dies, cardstock, and fun extras. I’m taking it for a spin with two totally different cards. One is all about stamping a scenic adventure and the other is all about relaxing with some die cutting fun.

Stamped Scenic Snapshot

This card is all about hitting the road and snapping a memory along the way. I used the layering stamp set to build a dreamy scene with a desert highway cutting through pink-toned hills under a lavender sky. It reminds me of the desert road trips I have taken. I popped up the mountains and road for depth and layered the whole thing like a Polaroid photo. The hand die cut is such a fun touch… like someone holding up a favorite moment to remember. Pink nail polish included!

What Makes This Card Special:

• Polaroid-style layout: Gives the scene a nostalgic snapshot feel
• Layered dimension: Popped-up elements create a 3D road trip effect
• Creative color combo: Pink and purple tones give the desert scene a whimsical twist

Taking it Slow With Dies

This one is just plain fun with the die cuts. I stenciled a houndstooth pattern onto the shorts for extra flair, then pieced together the relaxed legs and bright yellow sneakers. The papers in the kit work beautifully for mixing bold colors with playful patterns. That take it slow sentiment wraps it all up in the perfect message to chill out and enjoy the moment. It will be so fun to mix colors and patterns for all sorts of occasions like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, or even retirement. Pink flamingo pants, anyone?

What Makes This Card Special:

• Mix-and-match die cuts: Build a custom look with pieces like shoes, shorts, and legs
• Custom stenciled shorts: Adds extra detail and personality
• Fresh, vibrant color palette: Kit cardstock makes the colors pop effortlessly

I hope these card ideas spark your creativity and show just how fun a themed kit can be. The Road Trip kit is full of playful possibilities—perfect for sending good vibes and encouragement. With a mix of stamping and die cutting, you’ll have everything you need to create cards that capture a moment and share a smile.
