April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #1 + Giveaway
Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, April 1 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Our Creative Team will be here for the next three days sharing ideas for using the kit. Stay tuned for more inspiration all weekend long! Now let's join Caly for a first look at the kit...
Hi, Friends! It's Caly with you today sharing a card made using the April My Monthly Hero Kit! The kit is die-focused to create an Italian scene and it can change with the different elements that are available and I hope my take on this card inspires you!
You can create your Italian scene with a variety of mediums and colors. Today, I'm focusing on a more realistic view (from what I imagine) with more neutral colors.
I've ink-blended each of my panels today. You can ink-blend after die-cutting also, but for my pieces, I ink-blended before color so the edges show no harsh ink coverage.
These are the following ink colors that I used for my card:
I hope you enjoyed my take on this Italian scene. There will be more on Monday's blog hop and I can't wait to share that with you also!
Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts.

This design is so airy and fresh. What a wonderful way to cheer someone with a clean, sweet scene.
Wow! Such beautiful creations! I love it all!!!
I LOVE building scenes with stamps and die cuts!! Your card is so lovely, I feel I’m looking at a Venice postcard! Can’t wait to get my hands on this kit!!
Caly, I like your take on the Italian view of the ocean or the waterway! Such soft colors are so fun and make me want to go relax on a gondola and have some tea, or a glass of something sparkly and bubbly! Your tip about distressing the cardstock before you cut the die out is great! I will try that and see how well it works for me. Thanks! Great card!!!
Very nice
