Welcome back to the countdown to the release of the October My Monthly Hero Kit! Release is coming up tomorrow, Monday, October 7 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Now let's join Nichol for another peek!
Hello! I'm so excited to share this retro Christmas scene card with you today featuring the October 2019 My Monthly Hero kit and Pop Art Fancy Dies add-on. The car, tree, packages, sentiments, and stars pair perfectly with the signage and Reactive Inks!
The background was created by masking off 3/4" along the bottom edge of a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" background. The top portion was inked with Lemon Drop, Splash, and Blue Hawaii Reactive Inks. More masking strips were adhered over the inked sky and "rays" were inked with Sea Salt Reactive Ink.
A sentiment and stars from the main kit were stamped with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder.
The images from the main kit were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. The images were adhered to the background scene with foam adhesive squares.
The Pop Art Fancy Dies were die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.
The green sign was stamped with an additional greeting from the main kit using Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder. The sign pole was adhered directly to the card and the signs were adhered with foam adhesive.
The card was finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in silver scattered about the background. Iridescent glitter drops were used to embellish the ornaments and bows.
I can't wait to see what you all create with this incredible kit!

I mean I’m kind of feeling like that car should be hauling that tree to my house… just sayin’! 😜
Wow, this is a fully packed Christmas card. I always appreciate hand-made Christmas cards that looked like stored-bought ones but way better. I love how nicely you blend the background colors. Hope you have a video of this card. Great job!
What a fun and fantastically retro card! Rich colors and great scene building! Definitely the beyond excited for the reveal on Monday.!!!!
At first glance I thought this was a repeat until I saw there were a few differences. Nice.
Such a fun retro holiday card! Love this cute card! Excited about the kit and can’t wait to see it all!
Great card. Love the vintage retro feel to the card.
Yep, definitely looking forward to the reveal for this kit…
Love this idea and can’t wait for the kit to go live!
Nostalgic retro cute! I swear I’ve eaten somewhere that had that sign on the expressway heading on vacation! Really love the background…use to get so excited to see the lights in the sky from an “octopus” lite on the clouds.
So retro. Lovin’ it! Thanks for sharing.
