May My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway!

We’re back for another countdown post, leading up to the release of the May My Monthly Hero kit! Release day is Monday, May 1st at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We’ll be here all weekend long, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as new optional add-on products that will be available on Monday. And don’t forget to comment on each and every post as we’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches! Here’s Amy with another look at the new kit.

I’m so excited for this month’s My Monthly Hero kit, it’s an awesome one! My card uses both the main kit and an optional add-on.

The main kit comes with so many different images and sentiments, it was a challenge for me to pick from! I decided to use the oyster shell and coordinating sentiment. There’s a Frame Cut for the oyster shell but I decided to fussy cut it down to the outline. I think it gives the card design a seamless transition to that gorgeous Reef Border and Frame Fancy Die, an optional add-on.

The sentiment is perfect for any occasion including any upcoming graduations! It has been stamped with Versamark and embossed in white.

The watercoloring really makes that Reef Border pop. Love all the gorgeous details on that die.

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, May 1st, before the kit launches at 1pm Eastern. The more you comment, the more chances you’ll have to win!

Good Luck!
