January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #3 + giveaway!

MMH Countdown to Creativity

Hello! Welcome to our third idea post, leading up to the launch of this month's My Monthly Hero kit! The kit will launch on Monday, January 4 at noon eastern. We're sharing ideas for using the kit throughout the weekend - and having a lot of fun while we're at it! I absolutely love the gorgeous Paper Layering die that's included in the kit. All of the little fluttering hearts gathered into the shape of a larger heart - be still *my* heart!  I love how the gorgeous heart looks with a little  hero_product_link sku="AF146"] ink sponged on! The kit is definitely inspired by Valentine's Day approaching next month, but I needed to make a wedding card.

I used a hero_product_link sku="PS639" text="Pool Folded Card"], turned inside out! I love how the Hero Arts cards are white on the inside - with a die like this, turning it inside out allows for a little color to show through under the hearts! The message is from  hero_product_link sku="CL923"], from the 2016 Valentine's Collection. Embossed in silver, it's perfect for the bride and groom.
