Soup, There it Is!

Hello! I’m excited to share my first project using Hero Arts‘ Card Kit of the Month, Cling Stamp of the Month, and their Bonus Item for December 2025. The theme this month is “Soup, There it Is,” and I am just loving it! It’s all about being warm and cozy with a yummy bowl of soup, with a little bit of sass on the side. Plus, they’ve never done this before, but for the month of December, you can enjoy Hero Studio at a discounted price. The Card Kit is now $45 (normally $60,) and the Whole Studio is now $75 (normally $130)! This is an even more awesome value than it normally is.

I started by creating the bread bowl, which you get as a bonus when you purchase the Whole Studio. I used some of the cardstock that comes in the kit, plus Kraft, I inked the edges of the bread a bit to make it look toasty. Then I die cut the crackers, which I also inked, and the spoon from the stamp set that comes in the card kit.

I wanted a good amount of red on my card to go with the soup, so I used the same cardstock and inked up the Cling Stamp of the Month (called Dotty) with VersaMark Ink. I used a clear embossing powder on top and heat set it. I found a fun plaid paper in my stash and die cut both of those pieces on the diagonal, and added a strip of teal in between them. I left my card base white to go with the bit of white in the plaid.

I love the sentiment and the bread bowl. I can’t wait to show you more cards using this collection later in the month. Please be sure to visit Hero Arts to get the full scoop on the subscriptions. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
