May My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #6 + Giveaway!

MMH Countdown to Creativity

Lucy joins us for today's final sneak peek of the May My Monthly Hero kit. We'll be back with more ideas tomorrow, leading up to the launch on Monday, May 2 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific! Be sure to stop back by tomorrow - and visit all of the posts we've already shared, if you haven't already - we're giving away one kit before you can buy it, randomly drawn from all the comments left on our Countdown to Creativity posts. We'll announce the winner first thing Monday morning, before the kit launches. There's still more inspiration coming, so stay tuned! Here's Lucy...

The sentiment stamps in this month's kit are fabulous as focal points for your cards. Here, I stamped and white embossed the sentiment onto a piece of glittery vellum from the kit, then stitched it to some of the aqua vellum.

I left an opening at the top and created a pocket - I thought I could add a gift card into this pocket as an added surprise for the recipient. I adhered my vellum pocket to a folded card.

Thank You 2 by Lucy Abrams for Hero Arts

Stop back by tomorrow for more kit inspiration!
