April My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop



Edited to Add:  Please note:  This kit has sold out.

April My Monthly Hero Kit Details



Today I am honored to share a card and envelope box made with some of the products in the fabulous April My Monthly Hero Kit that Hero Arts is releasing today.  It's a limited edition set -- once it's gone, it's gone.  It's a beautiful kit at a rocking price ($29.99)!





There are 3 optional add-on items -- a Happy Mother's Day stamp set, Happy Mother's Day Frame Cuts coordinating dies, and the DANIEL SMITH watercolor paints in 15ml tubes - 18 colors in all, the colors used on the Hero Arts Palette dot sheet.  The dots contain enough hardened watercolor (just touch with a damp brush) for several cards.  The colors are fantastic and they blend beautifully.

This kit is great for folks with watercoloring expertise, but even better for folks like me who are faking it!

Card and Envelope Box







I just love this row of tucked in flowers and leaves.
  • Stamped a sheet of the smaller flowers and leaves on watercolor paper and brushed them with Ultramarine Turquoise and Cobalt Blue Daniel Smith paint dots.  Those colors are amazing.
  • Peeled off (carefully!) the top layer of the watercolor paper so that the flowers and leaves are thin and delicate.  
  • Cut them out by hand.  I didn't have the dies, but if you want to peel off a layer of your watercolor paper, please do it before you die cut.  Once those babies go through your machine, you won't get that top layer off without ruining your work ... trust me.
Didn't want to ruin those delicate flowers and leaves by smooshing them into a regular envelope, so I made an envelope box using the WRMK Envelope Punch Board and the directions provided by Jennifer McGuire.
  • Stamped a 9x9 piece of watercolor paper with the gorgeous large flower in the set and brushed the same Daniel Smith colors that I used on the card.  
  • Let dry, make the box, and voila!



This was my first attempt at making one of these boxes and I'm hooked.  It's not perfect, but I'm not Hallmark....

But Wait!  There's More

There's a line up of seriously talented women (I snuck in!) who are on this blog hop, and a kit will be awarded to one commenter across the blogs, so get out of here and check out how these ladies rocked this kit.  Or just go buy the kit (edited to add, the kit has sold out, hey I warned you) before it sells out and then get back on the hop.

Oh, I love creative packaging. How clever to decorate the box to go with the beautiful card. Great fussy cutting too. I pinned. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765612677273/
