My Monthly Hero Blog Hop...

Hello there crafty friends!  I am excited to be joining in today for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Blog Hop.   Here is a picture of this months kit...


Kit Contents:
4" x 6" Layered on Love Clear Stamp Set
Four Coordinating dies
4 ink cubes (Passion Flower, Navy, Red Royal and Mulled Wine)
2 5"x7" Shizen decorative paper
1 5.5"x8.5" Stardream Coral Cardstock 
1 5.5"x8.5" Stardream Rose Quartz Cardstock
1 5.5"x8.5" Stardream Kunzite Cardstock 
Heart Sequins Mix 1.5 oz
Pink Prisma Embossing Powder 0.5 oz

The kit is available HERE over at Hero Arts.  The kit is available for a limited time only - once it's gone, it's gone. Kits begin shipping from Hero Arts on Friday January 12th. Remember you can subscribe and receive the monthly kit every month!

Along with the kit, you can purchase different add-ons.  I have three projects to share with you today, using the add-ons for this month.

This first card uses the Window on Love Confetti Fancy die and the Happily Ever After stamp...

My Monthly Hero

I cut the Window on Love die out with a light gray cardstock.  Next, I used Copics to make a pink gradient on the center heart.  Last, I stamped and fussy cut the Happily Ever After banner and added it to the card front with foam tape.  Definitely an easy card to whip up with these adorable add-ons.

I have another clean and simple card.  This one uses an amazing die called Paper Layering Floral Heart and a sentiment from the set called Color Layering Rose....

My Monthly Hero

I folded a white card base and used the die cut right on the card front.  This die is so pretty!  It cuts out lots of little pieces that would be perfect for confetti, but it also cuts out little pieces that can be tipped up.  I wanted to keep this clean and simple, so I pulled out and dusted off my old Pebbles chalks and did a little light coloring on the butterflies, leaves and flowers.  I tipped them up so you can see through the die to the light green cardstock that I lined the inside of the card with.  Last, I used a sentiment from Color Layering Rose and tucked it up next to the die cut.

Last, I used this beautiful piece of paper that is new in the Hero Arts store (Ps 771 Lovely Layering paper) to lined a card base.  Next, I used a sentiment from the add-on stamp set called Love Bandit and heat embossed it on black cardstock.  I layered that on top of little white heart die cut and then finished off the card with some black pearls.  

My Monthly Hero

There is lots more to see in today's hop.   Here are a list of stops to make...

  Laurie Willison - you are here!

Don't forget to leave a comment on each of the blog on the hop.  There will be one kit given away to one lucky person!  Thanks so much for stopping in today!  Hope you have a great day!

    The light gray over white really allows the center of the card to take center stage. (Sorry about the pun--it was unintentional, but I decided not to erase it!) Love the floral heart too. It is so elegant. I think I would have to try it in every combination of papers in my stash! Thanks so much.

    Oh my gosh, I want a die cutter so bad! Your cards are gorgeous! Those die cut cards are amazing! Someone told me that a die cutter is just a really big paper punch and I have a bunch of those. I'll have to use them more. I love your hearts! You're embossing is so beautiful and sparkly, which is a fave of mine. I am so impressed with all the creativity on this hop.
    Thanks for showing us your beautiful cards and for giving us the chance to win something.
