January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #3 + Giveaway!

We are back with another look at the January My Monthly Hero release! The kit will be available on Monday, January 8th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We’ll be sharing ideas for using the main kit and the optional add-on products all weekend long, so stay tuned for more inspiration! Now let’s join Michelle, who is sharing another look at the main kit, available on Monday!

Hello there, today I am using the main stamp set from the kit as my focal point. As you can see, I kept the card very clean and simple, keeping the focus on the beautiful ornate love word.

Love You So Much by Michelle Short for Hero Arts

I first took a panel of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25" and stamped the bottom layer of the love word on to it using Passion Flower ink (included in the kit). I then took the top layer and stamped this using black ink. I wanted to keep the card just white, black and the pink/purple shade for a sleek look. Although the layers are fairly easy to line up, a stamping tool did help.

Love You So Much by Michelle Short for Hero Arts

I took the 'you' and 'so much' from the set and stamped these on to a strip of black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. This was added to the panel with foam tape. To finish off, the panel was added to a white card base with foam sheet and double sided tape.

Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post!

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the Snowflake Background Etched Dies from the Lisa Horton Snowflake Kisses Collection.
