I&#8217;m having a blast creating with this month&#8217;s My Monthly Super Hero kit from Hero Arts, and I&#8217;m excited to share this pool party shaker card with you today. I used the Pool Party Die Set along with the Reflection Layering Stencil, creatively adding some green grassy areas for this fun scene.

To start, I stenciled the water pattern onto a white cardstock panel to be the shaker base. Then, I die-cut the pool from another white cardstock panel and added a piece of acetate over the opening on the reverse side. Next I added foam tape to the panel, creating a well around the opening, and filled it with some sparkling gems before securing the stenciled base panel to the foam tape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"656\" data-attachment-id=\"4687\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mycraftytrails.com\/?attachment_id=4687\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pool-party-4.jpg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3100&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1781179381&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Pool Party-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pool-party-4.jpg?fit=656%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pool-party-4.jpg?resize=656%2C656&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4687\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">With the shaker element completed, I got to work die-cutting the other elements from colored cardstock. I used the dies included in the kit to create the pool accessories and the sunbathing beauty. I decided to use the pool die to die-cut a shape I could use for creating some green spaces for my pool scene. I trimmed the pieces to fit and added small flowers to each grassy area. My final step was to stamp and die-cut a sentiment to add to my card design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Thank you for stopping by my pool party scene that I created for a sunny card design featuring components from this month&#8217;s My Monthly Super Hero kit from Hero Arts.
