Just a reminder, the kit is limited edition and once it's gone, there are no more. If you're not a subscriber and wish to purchase the kit, your best bet is to grab it on Monday. Now let’s join Ilina, who is sharing another beautiful card created with this month's kit!
Hi everyone, Ilina here and I am sharing some inspiration using the February My Monthly Hero kit! I love this month's kit, as it focuses on birthdays and it can be used also way beyond birthdays.
For my card today I used the smaller fill-in rectangle stamp included in the kit. To make the card stamp the image twice on Dove White cardstock. Color the elements and die cut the balloons and flowers using the coordinating dies from one of the stamped panels. To cut out the mirrored image balloon, since there are no coordinating dies, I flipped over my stamped image and used my window to line up the die on the back side. I ran it this way through my die cutting machine and was able to cut out the mirror image.
Stamp, color and die cut the cake image. Set aside. Die cut the full panel using Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies and adhere the die cut elements with foam adhesive. Stamp sentiment on vellum and emboss in white. Cut to size and wrap around the panel.
Die cut a larger rounded rectangle from Peony cardstock. Stamp "Happy Birthday" sentiment over it repeatedly using Clear Embossing and Watermark ink. Assemble the card and adhere to Dove White side folded notecard.

I love all the layers and details in this card! So beautiful!
Ilina- using the mirrored image was a super idea- looks great
This is such a fun card and really shows off the stamps. It really uses vellum effectively and gives me ideas for other cards. Love this kit already!
This is a beautiful card. Love it!
What a charming and sweet birthday card. From the subtle stamped Happy Birthday on the pink background to the white embossed vellum, this card pops with color and whimsy. The tip on how to make the reverse image of the balloons was very helpful. The colors are so vibrant and tie all the elements together. I really want this kit!
The backwards die cutting is something I’ll have to try. Thanks for that tip. This is so pretty and would be a beautiful invitation! So anxious to see the rest!
Great card. You can never have too many Birthday dies and stamps. Can’t wait to play with this kit.
Delightful use of this super background stamp. Thank you for the technique idea.
Beautiful card. I seldom do mirror stamping because of the additional work, but it’s wonderful on your card.
I’ve never tried vellum yet and using it on this card gives it that extra “BAM” as Emeril would say LOL !! I love this one big-time !
