January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway!

Janette Kausen

Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the January My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, January 7th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here through the weekend, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as the new optional add-on products that will also be available on Monday. Stay tuned for more inspiration all weekend long! Now let's join Janette for another look at this sweet kit.

This month's kit is so cheerful, it can't help but make you smile! Of course it can be used to create Valentine's projects, but the delightful spring feel is just darling and can be used for so much more. Is there ever a bad time to say I love you?

Begin by stamping the shop front in Cup O' Joe Mid-Tone Shadow ink for a dark, but more vintage feel than black, image on Kraft Layering Paper. Fussy cut center window or use kit included die. Color image, except awning, with colored pencils.

Stamp additional shop front in the same way and color awning with colored pencils. Fussy cut awning and adhere with dimensional adhesive over main image.

Stamp accessories in black and color simply with Copic markers, or again with colored pencils, if you prefer. Die cut images and adhere in place, some with dimensional adhesive, some without. Heat emboss kit included sentiment in white.

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, and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, January 7th, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

I can't wait to see what you create! Happy crafting and we'll see you soon!

    Janette, your card is so wonderful and soft, and romantic! Makes me want to go get some flowers right now and put them in a big vase! Or stand under that awesome colored awning and gaze into the storefront and think of all the flowers I should get and pass out to all the wonderful people I know! A most wonderful card and so fun!

    I like having it on Kraft card stock and the pop of color. Very nice

This is my favorite card I’ve seen in awhile. I absolutely LOVE it and I can’t wait to get my kit to make cards for my boyfriend who has been deployed for almost three years. He can’t contact me so I have been making him cards and storing them for when he gets home. We haven’t been able to spend a Valentine’s Day together yet. He left before our first one together. As well as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Easter…all of the holidays. We have a lot of catching up to do. It’s really hard not knowing where he is or how he is and card making has really helped me escape from my thoughts and just create and clear my mind. Anyway I can’t wait for this kit. It has all of my favorite things in it, plants, containers, and fancy dies!! This is such a great use of this kit. Very creative!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
