June My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #1 + Giveaway
Janette Kausen
Hello and welcome as we begin the countdown to the release of the June My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, June 8 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Our Creative Team will be here all weekend sharing sneak peeks. At this time, we estimate June kits and add-ons will begin shipping on June 19. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work on restarting our operations in a safe manner and fulfilling orders already in-house. Once those orders have gone out, will will move onto June MMH shipping.
Now let's join Janette for the first beautiful look at this month's kit!
Hello, friends! Hero Arts is taking us on an adventure to see the Aurora Borealis and I am all too happy to tag along. I have never witnessed them in person, but it is certainly on my list to do so!
Recreate this project by ink blending with Reactive Inks in Pool Party and Splash, then Amethyst Pigment Ink from the bottom up on an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") Dove White cardstock panel. Combining ink types is not only OK, but I encourage it! Experiment - stretch your collection!
Die cut kit included lighthouse, bird and star. Cut once in Dove White and again in Pebble cardstock for the lighthouse and bird, and Canary for the star. Stamp sentiment in Moonstone Pigment Ink and heat emboss with Sparkle Embossing Powder - no need for embossing ink!
After ink blended panel has thoroughly dried, and has been liberally dusted with anti-static powder, Sparkle heat emboss with kit included background stamp. Layer matching die cut images together, slightly offset, to create a drop shadow and adhere in place. Fussy cut sentiment and pop in place with dimensional adhesive. Then, adhere finished panel to folded card base.
*** Win a kit before you can buy it *** Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post.

My second bit of encouragement for today? Send your cards. That ray of sunshine could be just what someone needs.

Love the card – the effect on the background is beautiful! Just seeing the dies makes me even more curious about the kit! I am excited to receive mine!!
Your card is gorgeous! I really love the background. Thats seems to be an area I tend to struggle in. I really love your card and the new release is awesome. I love how you blended several colors together in your background. I need to learn to do this!
What a lovely card! That background is intriguing and I can’t wait for this kit!
Oh my goodness, gorgeous blended background and I love the lighthouse!
