Hello and welcome! We are back with our final Countdown post before launching our February My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons tomorrow, Monday, February 6th at 1pm eastern/10am pacific. We’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning before the kit launches, so remember to comment on each and every Countdown post! Now join Jayne as she shares a few, colorful cards using stamps and dies from this month’s kit and add-on items!
I have several cards to share today as I was overwhelmed with the contents of this month’s My Monthly Hero kit! There are so many wonderful weather-inspired items, as well as equally delightful add-on items, I simply couldn’t resist making a few cards.
Using the kit’s window die (yes!), I created a white window shaped card. I inked another panel of cardstock with blue and purple distress inks and then, after cutting window panes with the window die, I inserted each inked pane into the window frame.
I added a collection of cute, colored images that I created with stamps and dies from this month’s kit. I also inked a piece of cardstock with Soft Sky ink and then used one of the kit’s other dies to cut the gentle hill. I finished the card with a perfectly-sized sentiment from the add-on set, CM152 Fun in the Rain.
For my next card, I used the stencil included in this month’s kit – yep, a stencil! How cool is that? I love using stencils on my cards, so I tried this one immediately! Using Soft Sky, Stone Wash, Passion Flower, Bubble Gum, and Butter Bar inks, I stenciled and masked a row of clouds and raindrops across a panel of white cardstock.
Using one of the kit’s cloud dies, I also cut three clouds from the stenciled images. I finished the card with a single umbrella and a sentiment from the CM152 Fun in the Rain set. There are also matching dies available for this add-on set.
For my last card, and perhaps my favorite, I made a shaped card with the new DI367 Nesting Clouds Infinity Dies! They are incredible! After creating a cloud card base, I used the kit’s stencil to create a colorful, boot pattern across a white cloud.
Then, I stamped and colored an adorable piglet in boots from CM152 Fun in the Rain and secured it to my card over a pair of vellum, die cut clouds. I finished the card with a cloud shaped sentiment and a small sun.
