Happy Monday and welcome to the August My Monthly Hero Blog Hop!
Today I am sharing a trio of cards using lots of My Monthly Hero stamps and dies add ons! The add ons are so, so good, y'all! My cards feature simple stamped and embossed backgrounds with all three of the new August Release Bold Prints Backgrounds (you're going to want them all, they're so awesome!), Copic Coloring Die Cuts (Bird House Fancy Die, Greetings From Stamp & Cut, August Word Fancy Die), and new stamped and colored images from the Lounging Pups Stamp Set! I hope these Staycation themed products and projects inspire you to create some fun cards this month! L
