My Monthly Hero is Here! + a Giveaway!

MMH_Release

Release day is here! We hope you’ve enjoyed all of the peeks leading up to today’s launch of our My Monthly Hero April 2016 kit! Be sure to scroll down to the end of this post – we have an amazing list of bloggers joining us today as we introduce this kit. And another kit is up for grabs, too!

For this month's kit, we've combined a gorgeous stamp set with everything you need to dip your feet into watercoloring! We also designed dies that will give your flowers gorgeous dimension. You can cut out the full flower, cut it out in layers, or use a Paper Layering-style die to pop up portions of the flower!

The kit contents include:

  • A 4×6 clear stamp set.
  • A set of four Frame Cuts dies, designed to cut and stack the flower into a layered element. Stamp the rose four times to use with these dies.
  • A Paper Layering die, which allows you to pop-up a single stamped rose for a different dimensional look.
  • A dot sheet of DANIEL SMITH watercolors in a palette specifically selected for Hero Arts. Each dot of paint allows watercoloring of 2-3 images, to give you an introduction to these wonderful paints.
  • A waterbrush.
  • Heavy cardstock in cream and white, notecards and pearls.

This month's kit has been paired with several optional add-on products, too! First, the Happy Mother's Day stamp set we mentioned yesterday. It's great for those cards for mom you'll soon be making - and enough versatility to use beyond Mother's Day, too!

There are optional matching dies to go with the Happy Mother's Day stamp set, too!

We know that you are going to fall in love with the quality and color of the Daniel Smith paints included in the kit! We've added individual full-size tubes of all of the colors from the Hero Arts Palette dot card to the store. These artist quality paints will bring your crafting to a whole new level!
