July My Monthly Hero Countdown + Giveaway: Day 1

Hero Arts

A new month is here and today we get to kick off the countdown to the release of the July My Monthly Hero Kit! We are tickled pink (that's a hint!) to share it with you. A bit of housekeeping before we begin: release day will be one day later than usual this month, due to Independence Day here in the US. Hero Arts will be closed on Monday, July 4. You will be able to purchase the new kit and add-ons on Tuesday, July 5 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. In the meantime, the Creative Team will be right here, sharing heaps of inspiration before the launch.

Now let's jump right in with four fantastic cards! Be sure to visit each blog (linked below the photos), where you can find more project details.

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 comments left across all countdown posts on the Hero Arts blog. The winner will be announced first thing Tuesday morning, July 5, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win. Good luck!
