August My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway!

Hello, we are back with another Countdown to Creativity post before launching our August My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons on Monday, August 7th, at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches, so be sure to comment on every countdown post! Now, join Amy as she shares a card using stamps from this month’s kit.

Hello! Are you enjoying all the wonderful Countdown to Creativity posts?! This month’s kit is absolutely amazing. I had so much fun with it.

The sprays that are included in this month’s kit are amazing. See that blue background, the spray did all the work for me. It has an absolutely beautiful shimmer. I’m a big fan of silhouette images and fell for that flying girl. I heat embossed the stars in gold.

There are a ton of fun dies in this kit. Don’t you love that dreamy Fancy Window Cut Die? The moon was cut from a kit die but the glittery cardstock + enamel dots are from my stash.

There are a ton of fabulous sentiments in this kit. I picked the “Shine Bright” that has been stamped in Chalkboard Black. To bring out the black in my design, I topped off my card with black twine from my stash.

Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post! We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all of the comments left across all countdown posts and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, August 7th, before the kit launches at 1pm Eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check back all weekend long for additional countdown posts with more inspiration and more sneak peeks!
