August 2023 My Monthly Hero Release - Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Our August Release was inspired by a recent trip our owners took to Yosemite National Park! With dies to cut out trees, mountains, plateaus and fields of wildflowers, the amount of scenes that can be created is endless. The Classic Kit also features a 4" x 6" stamp set full of messages, useful for a variety of card-giving occasions, or as inspirational embellishments on your mixed media projects. EarthSafe Glitter is a fitting element to include in a kit celebrating nature; you'll have the opportunity to try out our fully biodegradable gold glitter. Rounding out the Classic Kit are brass embossing powder, and a sampling of premium cardstock in six beautiful colors.

The Premium Kit includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and techniques - even more Creativity In The Box! The highlight of our expanded kit is a 3" x 4" stamp set full of blooming poppies. There are coordinating dies to cut out the flowers, too!
