Hi there! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the November My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, November 4 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We will be here all weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Nichol for another look at this fabulous kit!
Hello! I am so excited to share this house front card featuring Copic colored die cuts from the November My Monthly Hero Kit! Everything from my kit was die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with Copic Markers and assembled to create this holiday scene card.
The bricks on the house were colored with W00 and W4. The door and light fixtures were colored with W6 and W8.
All the greenery was colored with G21, G24, and G28 and the planters, letter, and bows colored with R35, R37, and R39.
The door mat was stamped with the stamp using Intens-ified Black Ink and the "Welcome" was stamped with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being colored in with E55 and E57.
The wreath and topiaries were adhered to the scene with foam adhesive squares.
A background behind the windows was colored with Y11, Y08, and Y17 to give the illusion of lights on in the house.
I hope you've enjoyed this die cut holiday card created with the November My Monthly Hero Kit!

Hi Rosemary – The die in the main kit is designed so that the door can open up (fold back) if desired, and you could stamp a scene inside the opening to reveal the interior of the home. Caly has an example on her blog here: https://calyperson.com/2019/11/04/hero-arts-november-2019-my-monthly-hero-blog-hop-giveaway/ We hope this helps!
I really love the Nov kit, but I am having difficulty figuring the die of the door out. There are areas on the die when it cut out that looks like fold lines. Did you use the fold lines? Could you tell me what they are for.
Being new to these kits I sort of wish Tonic would provide some instructions for the complicated ones.
I would deeply appreciate any help you could offer me.
Thank you
The coloring looks great!
Just like going home…what a warm and friendly card. Thank you Nichol :)
I love this kit! Thanks for sharing details on how to color it.
You are very talented.
