Below you’ll find a closer look at each individual product included in the regular My Monthly Hero kit, highlighting the details, features, and creative possibilities of each piece and how they work alongside other products in the kit.

Big Present Die Set

The star of the kit! This large present die is designed to create eye-catching, interactive cards that feel like a gift all on their own. Build dimensional designs with a lid that lifts to reveal a surprise inside—perfect for adding balloons, tags, or even a gift card.

It also works beautifully as a shaped card or a bold focal point layered onto a traditional card base. Add stamped images, tiny tags, or custom messages to make each project feel extra special.

Birthday Icons Stamp & Cut

This classic birthday set is a must-have staple for your collection. Filled with essential celebration icons and messages—balloons, cake, candles, gifts, and more—it’s perfect for creating quick, clean and simple cards or building detailed scenes.

The coordinating dies make it easy to cut out each image for layering and dimension. Use the icons on their own for minimalist designs, or combine them with other elements in the kit to create full, festive compositions.

Tiny Tags Die Set

These small but mighty tag dies are perfect for adding charming finishing touches. With three tag shapes and coordinating decorative elements, you can create mini accents that elevate any design.

Tie them onto the big present, layer them into balloon clusters, or string them together to create playful banners. Pair them with the Birthday Icons Stamp & Cut to decorate each tag with sweet, celebratory details.

Happy Birthday Die Set

A go-to sentiment you’ll reach for again and again. This script-style “Happy Birthday” die includes a shadow layer, making it easy to add contrast, color, and dimension to your cards.

Layer it over bold backgrounds, tuck it into shaker windows, or let it shine as the main focal point—this versatile sentiment works beautifully across a wide range of styles.

Cardstock

This month’s palette is a celebration in itself—featuring a range of bright, happy hues that are perfect for birthday crafting. Mix warm tones with soft pastels or bold pops of color to create cards that feel vibrant and full of energy.
