MMH Countdown to Creativity

We’re back with our second post for the day, sharing more inspiration for using our October My Monthly Hero kit! We’ll be posting all weekend long – leading up to the kit launch on Monday, October 3 at 1 pm eastern/10 am pacific. Let’s see what Amy made with this month’s kit!

This month’s My Monthly Hero is incredible. The main kit is chock full of supplies, check out how it inspired me:

I couldn’t wait to make a shaker card. Let’s start at the bottom and work our way to the top of the card. I stamped my snowy town scenery on a watercolor paper panel. The houses have been heat embossed with Detail Black Embossing Powder. The evergreen trees are stamped with Forever Green and Field Greens Shadow Ink.

I watercolored the background in blue and waited for it to dry thoroughly before stamping the snow in VersaMark and using White Embossing Powder.

I die cut the snowglobe on a panel from Kelly's Designer Paper. On Snow Layering Paper I stamped out the sentiment in Forever Green and adhered it to the inside of the window. I then backed the die cut window with a trimmed acetate sheet from the kit. That means that the sentiment is on the exterior of the shaker so it doesn’t restrict the shaker.

I adhered the scenery panel onto my card base and used foam adhesive to build up my shaker card. I filled that portion with the Buttons Galore Shaker Mix and then laid my top panel down. I finished off the front panel with a stamped + die cut snowglobe base in Kraft.

I wish you could hear the shaker in action!
