It's My Monthly Hero release day, and this month's kit is so much fun!

Are you ready to party like it's 1922? Step back in time with this month's kit, inspired by the sophisticated glamour and swinging jazz of the era. Your projects will be the bee's knees when you craft with the stylish stamps in this month's kit! We've included a bag of gold and black Mirror Confetti, as well as the prettiest, shiniest silver and gold reflective cardstocks, which look amazing when die cut with this month's Art Deco-inspired Fancy Die. A fun new element rounds out the kit - a smaller stencil of gorgeous architectural design, sized perfectly for handmade cards!

This month's kit includes:

• 6" x 8" Clear Stamp Set
• 7 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4.25" x 5.5" Fancy Die
• 4.5" x 5.75" Stencil
• Art Deco Mirror Confetti
• 1 5.5" x 8.5" Sheet of Silver Reflective Cardstock
• 1 5.5" x 8.5" Sheet of Gold Reflective Cardstock

This kit is valued at $72, but is an incredible deal at $34.99. It is available in limited quantities - grab yours before they are gone!

We also have several optional add-on products this month, all inspired by the roaring twenties & Art Deco themes of the main kit. First up, one for our dog lovers out there! The very elegant Diamond in the Ruff and coordinating Diamond in the Ruff Frame Cuts has to be the classiest dog set in stamping! Oh but wait, it's not just for dog lovers - there's a gorgeous feline in there, too!

Deco-rations (with coordinating Deco-rations Frame Cuts) reminds us of the designs in the stained glass of the grand ballrooms and train stations of the day!

Need to make handmade invitations or greeting cards for an upcoming wedding or event? Deco Celebration will give it a special Art Deco flair!

Now let's take a look at the absolutely fabulous 6x6 cling stamps included in this month's release! First, Deco in the City Bold Prints, which pays homage to New York City back in the day, and an Art Deco classic, the Chrysler Building.

And the first of a couple great backgrounds - the Arch Pattern Bold Prints.

And another gorgeous background, Deco Flourish Bold Prints.

Next, three fabulous dies! First is the elegant Vintage Window Fancy Die. The architectural flourishes on this one are divine!

Next, Ballroom Window Fancy Die. So many possibilities with this one - for Art Deco designs, and beyond!

Attention music lovers, this one is for you! Dancing Music Notes Confetti Die is so universal, it can pair with so many different designs and themes!

And finally to round out the release, a gorgeous new stencil design - Graphic Deco Stencil. This one is gorgeous with ink, embossing paste, you name it!

Now let's take a look at some projects Janette created with this month's kit!

This month's kit harkens back to the Roaring Twenties with its fun and glamorous style. The included Fancy Die and stencil are favorites on my list! Their versatility is endless and I cannot wait to see how you create with this entire kit!

Create this card by securing kit included stencil over an A2 white cardstock panel with washi tape. Ink blend Soft Vanilla approximately 2/3rds of the way down, heaviest at the top blending down to white. Then, ink blend with Soft Granite. This time heaviest at the bottom, blending up gently into the yellow.

Swipe Soft Yellow ink pad across white cardstock to create a matching sentiment banner. Once ink is dry, stamp sentiment in Black Dye ink and trim. Stamp smaller sentiment in black on white. 

Stamp dancers in Black Dye ink, as well, and die cut. Adhere large sentiment popped with one layer of dimensional adhesive. Double the height of the adhesive for the smaller sentiment set atop. Adhere dancers flat to stenciled panel. Finish project by adhering to folded card base and adding a few black mirror confetti included in the kit.
