May My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway

Ilina Crouse

Welcome back to the countdown! Our May kit launches on Monday, May 6 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you! Now let's join Ilina for another look at this kit filled with craftiness.

Hi everyone! Ilina here. I hope you are enjoying all the peeks from the May My Monthly Hero. This is another kit that goes on my most favorites list. It's amazing for crafters and crafty friends. 

For my card today I decided to use the thread spool image and the little buttons. To make the card I started with a Dove White cardstock piece measuring 4" x 5 1/4". Using Intense Black ink I stamped the images in a circle using the Gina K Wreath Builder stencil, then colored with alcohol markers in a rainbow order. I set the panel aside.

I stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink onto Pitch Black cardstock and embossed with White Embossing Powder. Trimmed to size and adhered to the white stamped panel using foam adhesive.

I finished the card by adhering the panel onto a black top folding note card (4 1/4" x 11" piece of Pitch Black card stock scored at 5 1/2") using foam adhesive.

    So far this is my favourite countdown idea, I’d love to paint some buttons too, but in different styles

    BUTTONS!!! Omg it has buttons! Sorry, a little obsessed with buttons over here. I love your color choice and layout, I’m going to have to look into the wreath builder.

    I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this kit. It will be perfect to make cards for my mother, grandmother, MIL, neighbor, the list goes on!
