Hero Arts MMH Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the December 2023 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup is at the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Seeka‘s blog and your next stop will be Jennifer. The full blog list will be updated below! This month’s collection focuses on letters and watercolor pencils! Here is a peek at the Classic Kit:

The Classic Kit includes:

XL Alphabet Clear Stamp Set 8 x 10
10 Watercolor Pencils
10 Sheets Watercolor Paper, 8.5″ x 11″
Alphabet Cover Plate Die
Water Flow Brush

and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:

MHP1223C Numbers Clear Stamp Set 4×6
Fine Line Applicator
Sea Salt Reinker
Gold Glimmer Metallic Ink

I have three cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit!

The first card focuses on the Classic Kit. I used all the items from the kit to create this card. I used the Watercolor Pencils with the Water Flow Brush to create a blue/purple ombre fading to white. I used the Alphabet Cover Plate Die to cut out black letters AND dry emboss onto my background (which is so hard to see in photos but it adds a subtle texture). I stamped the balloons from the XL Alphabet Clear Stamp and fussy cut them out add to the sides of the sentiment. This kit allows you to create any sentiment you want!

My second project actually features a planner spread using some of this month’s add ons, Weekly Planner and Months. I also pulled the Winter Town Cheer stamp set to decorate. The add ons create a quick planner spread and there are a bunch of elements to stamp out an easy spread.

If you wanted a visual of how I put this together, here’s the little video that corresponds:

My third card is a super simple one using the Classic Kit and an add on item, Message Basics. I used the Watercolor Pencils to create a rainbow background with the Water Flow Brush. I actually used the Alphabet Cover Plate Die for my first card and took the background to place right on top of the watercolor panel. To finish off the card, I used the Message Basics stamp set for a simple Happy Birthday sentiment.

Here’s a quick video sharing how I put it together:
