Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Release and a Giveaway!

Hi everybody! I hope you're Monday is off to a great start but if you're having a little case of the Mondays I'm hoping this blog hop will turn things right around for you. Today is release day for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit and in addition to a blog hop with tons of inspiration we've also got a giveaway for you (details at the bottom of my post)!

This month's kit is all about birthdays and I decided to make a few cards using some of the add-ons from the kit. This adorable dog and funny sentiment are from the Birthday Paw-ty set. There are multiple adorable dogs and many more great sentiments.

I'm having a bit of a birthday card shortage over here so I decided to stamp the dog and sentiment multiple times and change some details of the cards so that they'd all look different. I colored all of the dogs with my copic markers (E23, E25, E27, E29).

I masked off the dogs and bottoms of my cards with masking tape and then I ink blended the backgrounds using Hero Arts reactive inks in Taffy, Lemon Drop, and Splash.

Then I used the Banner Letterset Fancy Dies to create customized sentiment banners for each of my cards. These banners are so cool! I left all of the letters attached and cut out the whole alphabet at once. It was so convenient and quick to do. I added sequins from the kit to add a little razzle dazzle and called it good for these cards.

For my next card I used an awesome die called the Happy Birthday Cake Fancy Die. I love this die! It was the first thing I had to use out of the whole stash and I love how quickly I was able to make a shaker card with it. I ink blended the inside panel in Splash reactive ink. Then I ink blended the front panel in Lemon Drop, Creamsicle and Fruit Punch. I used Hero Arts Shimmer Spray to add a bunch of sparkle and shine to this piece.

Next, I cut the die out of the front panel and I love how the leaves the Happy Birthday sentiment perfectly framed in the middle of the cake. Also, check out those candles! They are so much fun! I covered that opening with acetate, added a layer of foam adhesive, stuffed the card with sequin guts and sealed it all up. I decorated the front of the card with a combination of sequins from this kit, older sequins and enamel dots. I wish you could see how much this card sparkles in person because it's really fun.
