My Monthly Hero January 2021

January 4, 2021

Hey everyone. Today is the day. The My Monthly Hero January 2021 kit is now available. This set is bee-utiful! Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, January 8th and continue throughout the following week.

Kit Contents

6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
Coordinating Frame Cuts
Honeycomb Window Die
Honey Lacquer Pen
6 5.5″ x 8.5″ Sheets of Paper (2 each in Pale Yellow Glitter, Black Glitter and Gold Brillanca

For my card today I used the negative pieces from my countdown card. So basically I got two cards out of one die cutting process. You can never waste pretty glitter paper. LOL I kept my palette just the same by using the Hero Arts Mustard card stock. I splattered on some white gouache paint and popped up one of the adorable chunky bees on foam tape.

This punny sentiment is also from the included stamp set. Stamping the sentiment in clear embossing ink and sprinkling it in Hero Arts white detail embossing powder.

I truly believe this kit is going to sell out quick. Make sure to grab yours My Monthly Hero January 2021 kit before they sell out!

Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a chance to play with some new products I purchased from @ginakdesigns.

My first card is using the beautiful Contemporary Floral embossing folder and stencils. When I saw this debut, it was right in my cart. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder and stencil. The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!
