Finally Received my October Hero Arts Kit!!

The month is almost over, I've been (not so) patiently waiting for my October My Monthly Hero kit, and it finally arrived this week. Apparently it was lost ....but I am super excited that it finally arrived! I love the vintage style of these stamps, and the included papers are soooo pretty and sparkly. I almost couldn't bring myself to cut into them!



Here is the first card I made with the kit. For a change I made a "long" card measuring approx. 7" x 4.25".


October My Monthly Hero Kit // Distress Markers // Shabby Shutters Distress Ink // Weathered Wood Distress Ink // Versafine Onyx Ink // Clear Embossing Powder // Neenah Linen Textured Card Stock



I first stamped the tree from the Hero Arts October My Monthly Hero Kit kit using Shabby Shutters distress ink on Bristol Vellum paper. Next I heat embossed the skaters from the set using Versafine Onyx Ink and clear embossing powder, then used the included dies to cut them out with my Big Shot machine. The star is also included in this kit along with a  matching die. Before adhering the skaters to the card, I inked up the bottom part of the card using Weathered Wood distress ink. Then heat embossed the sentiment and framed the card with the pretty, sparkly paper that's comes with the kit.


In the photo below you can see how the paper sparkles, and I used the irridescent watercolor ink which also comes with this kit to make the "ice" sparkle.
This is what's included in this month's kit.

  • 6" x 8" Clear Stamp Set
  • 14 Coordinating Frame Cuts
  • 1 Paper Layering Tree Die with Frame
  • 6 5.5" x 8.5" Sheets of Glitter Paper (Silver, Sea Glass, Twilight)

  • Iridescent Ink 0.5 fl. oz. (shake well)
