May My Monthly Hero Kit + Blog Hop + Giveaway



Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Kit May release, blog hop, and giveaway.  You should have come from May Sukyong Park's blog (swoon, seriously!).

----> Click here to see the kit, and the two add ons.   <----

(I also have pics of the kit, etc. below)

This is the perfect kit for spreading love, thanks, kindness, etc. with a card or a gift card (or both). And you know how the Hero Arts kits work, once the kit is sold out, it's out!  It's $29.99, which is a good  deal for a full size stamp set, large die, and, as my husband would say, "assorted accoutrements" (see pic at end of post).

The kit was inspired by Jennifer McGuire and her wonderful Share Handmade Kindness campaign. The so very talented Kelly Rasmussen designed the stamps and the gift card holder die.

For my project, I chose to make a card, coordinating envelope liner, and gift card holder for a teacher. After all, it is National Teacher Appreciation Week.  Love that the gift card holder fits perfectly in a vertical or horizontal A2 card.




The circle on the card is made from Hero Arts acetate cardstock, stamped with StazOn. The
card opens up to a vellum gift card holder made with the die in the kit, which contains a gift card (I inserted a white piece of cardstock in front of the gift card so that the contents would be a surprise and it would look pretty.)


I don't have a child with a teacher anymore, but I do have a friend who is a teacher and I'm going to surprise her with this.  Talk about overworked and underpaid!

Here's the full list of the fantastic bloggers (I snuck in!) participating in the hop.  One commenter will win the kit. Good luck!

It's very simple not fancy or fussy but it isn't. I love all those hearts as I am a big fan of hearts. Hey, I still have mine and it beats in me everyday! LOL I don't have a die cutter so I couldn't do the You or make the big circle but I could try to do something like it. Love it!
