Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the October My Monthly Hero kit! Release day is Monday, October 2nd at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific! We’ll be here throughout the weekend, 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 Countdown post - we’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches! Here’s Jess with a first look at the kit!
This kit is jam-packed with adorable stamps and dies and I decided to focus on some of the fun landscape dies to create a wintry holiday scene!
To start I used dauber tools to apply ink to the top of a piece of cardstock. I dabbed on Rose Madder, Summer Sky, and Orchid Bold Inks to resemble the Northern Lights. Once I was happy with those colors I added Navy and Intense Black ink. I concentrated on the outer edges of the panel and the areas between the brighter colors. Then I swiped the brighter colors across the panel again to make sure there was no white space. Once I was happy with the colors I set it aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.
I die-cut the mountains using the silver glitter paper that's included in the kit and then die-cut the pine trees from Snow Layering Paper. I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder before trimming it down to a label. Once the blended panel was totally dry I stamped the silhouette of Santa's sleigh and his reindeer and heat-embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. Finally I layered the mountains and trees over the blended panel and then adhered the sentiment.
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, October 2nd, before the kit launches at 1pm Eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to come back later today for a closer look at some of the fabulous stamps in the kit! ;)
I love this I will use this kit with the other christmas snowglobe my monthly hero I have.
I can see already that this kit may be a must-have. Jess’ card is amazing. That sky is fabulous.
Awesome card. I love the layout, background and the cool embossed shiny mountains.
Looks like a fun kit. Love your sky inking and all that glitter
I’m so excited to see what Hero Arts has put together for the October 2017 monthly kit. What a gorgeous card. I been wanting to try more scenic cards, and hopefully now I’ll get to give them a try.
The card is so glittery!!! Can’t wait to see what else is created.
This is CAS at its best – awesome card! Thanks for the chance to win a kit.
Love you sky and the glittery mountains
I am already in love with this set and it is only the first day of the countdown. Last year you had the snow globe kit that sold out so quickly. I bet this one will do the same.
I am already excited about the season. Your card is so beautiful. I love the background. It almost looks like the Northern Lights. Fantastic card.
