Happy Monday everyone!
Today is the release day for the My Monthly Hero kit of October! This new wonderful kit will be available TODAY October 3rd at 1pm (Eastern time) at the Hero Arts store. Be aware that this kit is available for a limited time only – once it’s gone, it’s gone.
The main kit contains: A 4″x6″ clear stamp set, dies for creating a snowglobe, snowdrifts and other background elements, seven coordinating Frame Cuts dies to match the stamp set, three pigment ink cubes in White, Silver and Baby Blue, eight white cards and envelopes, Polar White Flower Soft, Buttons Galore shaker mix, acetate sheets in 4″x4.5″ (7) and 4″x6″ (1) for creating a shaker card, light blue gemstones. The kit value is over $60, an amazing deal at $34.99.
There are several fabulous optional add-on items: CM119 Holiday Cheer , CM120 Winter Time Fun, DI328 Skylines Fancy Dies (D), DI329 Snowy Drifts Fancy Dies (C), DI330 Circle Confetti Fancy Die (F), DI331 Star Confetti Fancy Die (F), DI332 Holiday Cheer Frame Cuts (D), DI333 Winter Time Fun Frame Cuts (E)
All the products included in the kit and the add-ons are amazing, perfect for your Winter projects . So here is the card I made using a couple of stamps from the main kit, and the Skyline add-on set:
To create my card, I simply silver-emboss the falling snow stamp over a Snow Layering paper panel. I die-cut the skyline shapes using silver cardstock and I layered them over the white panel.
I adhered the panel onto a card base and I stamped a sentiment over a strip of snow layering paper. I matted it with a strip of a darker blue cardstock strip underneath. At the end, I embellished the card with a few sequins and blue gemstones.
Well, as part of this release, Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Here is the list of bloggers so you can get lots of inspiration:

Ohhhhhhh…. I like how you did the skyline and the bridge in silver paper. At first it looked like skyline in silver paper and bridge in vellum, but was I happily surprised. This card kit is amazingly wonderful for holiday stamping and die cutting, along with the add-ons. Thanks for your quite inspirational card. Great job.
