Hero Arts | My Monthly Hero May 2023 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the release of the Hero Arts May 2023 My Monthly Hero Kit and add-on products. This month is all about nostalgia and childhood. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My first card today uses the Hero Arts May 2023 My Monthly Hero Classic Kit. I started off by stamping the bike from the main kit stamp set on to Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock using Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink. This image has two pieces, so that you can stamp them in different colours (the frame is one stamp and the wheels another) but I decided to go all black today! 

I also stamped the letter and envelope and small heart with the same black ink. They were all die cut out using the coordinating dies in the kit. I took the sentiment from the set and stamped it on to Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and heat set. 

It was cut into a strip and set aside while I worked on the background. I took the flower stencil in the kit and ran it through my die cutting machine to emboss it on to a panel of white cardstock. It was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. I then added the envelopes on top, followed by the bike and heart, that are three die cuts high, using Hero Arts Precision Glue. The sentiment was adhered using thin foam tape. 

For my countdown card, I used the Hero Arts May 2023 My Monthly Hero Premium Kit. This includes the fun tri-fold die that I used on my card (although only used one layer!). You can find more details on the card HERE. 

My last card today uses the Hero Arts You're Dynamite Stamp & Die Bundle. These skates are so fun and remind me of playing around on them when I was a child! I stamped the roller skates and bows on to white cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. 

The skates were then coloured using Copic Markers and die cut out using the coordinating dies. I also stamped the sentiment from the set and cut that with the coordinating die too. I took a US A2 sized white card base and added a strip of black and white paper to the left hand side. 

I then adhered a white panel on top with thin foam tape. The skates, bows and sentiment were adhered with thin foam tape also. To finish off, I added Hero Arts Neutrals Enamel Dots.
