My Monthly Hero January Kit Release Hop

 Happy MMH Kit Release Day! There is so much gorgeous inspiration you'll find throughout the hop today. Make sure you leave comments along the way! One lucky winner will receive a $50 Hero Arts gift card, picked from comments throughout the hop. You have until January 14th, 11:59PM PT to enter... happy hopping!


There are endless possibilities for Valentine and spring card creations with this kit. My card features the January 2024 Classic Kit. It includes everything you see here:


My Love You card uses the gorgeous layering stencil included in the kit. I used my Hero Brushes to blend the colors over each stencil. The inks I used for the layering stencil were: Soft Blossom, Azalea, Cornflower, Summer Sky, and Moss. Moss, Summer Sky, and Azalea mini inks are included in your kit!


I then die cut the stenciled panel with Postage Stamp Infinity Dies. I did my best to center the "Love You" dies right in the center and die cut into the stenciled panel. I then layered with foam adhesive over Peacock Cardstock, and glued the whole thing on an A2 card folded from Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock.


Along with the beautiful January kit, there are several new Add On items being released today! I had so much fun creating with the new Heart Burst Stencil to create the card above. 


When blending ink, I like to use the Deluxe Smooth White cardstock. I ink blended with Hero Brushes the stencil 'rays' with Dandelion, Butter Bar, and Azalea. I then added some Hero Glitter Paste to just part of the rays to blend out the glitter.


Once the glitter paste was dried, I placed the stencil back on top and masked off all of the 'rays' and added Gold Wax just to the center heart. The 'to my Valentine' sentiment was stamped and die cut from the new Valentine Wreath Bundle. I layered the stencil panel on Azalea Cardstock, die cut from Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies.
