Hero Arts | January 2023 My Monthly Hero Countdown to Creativity

Hello there and welcome as we countdown to the release of the Hero Arts January 2023 My Monthly Hero Kit. This month is called Matchbox Valentine's and as the name suggests, is perfect for Valentine's Day but can also be used for other occasions too. The kit releases on Monday 9th January and we will be sharing projects using it all weekend long.

For my card today, I wanted to focus on some of the accompanying dies in the kit. These work alongside the matchbox theme of the kit but also on their own too. I started off by die cutting the dove and envelope and letter dies from Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock twice. I then also cut them from Hero Arts Amethyst Cardstock. 

I cut the purple pieces apart using scissors, so that I could adhere them on top of the white die cuts. I also adhered the white die cuts two high for some added dimension. I took a US A2 sized white card base and stamped the sentiment from the kit stamp set on top with Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. 

I adhered the envelope and letter first, using Hero Arts Precision Glue. The dove was then added with thin foam tape and Precision Glue. I die cut the smallest of the Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies from more Amethyst Cardstock and layered it up so that it was two layers high before adhering to to the card. To finish off, I added Hero Arts Clear Lacquer Pen to the hearts.
