November My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway!

Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the November My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, November 5th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Stay tuned for more inspiration all weekend long! Jess is here for another look at this wonderful kit.

Hello! I decided to go a different route with this month's kit and today I'm sharing an elegant holiday card you can create!

To start I stamped the gorgeous ornament rubber cling stamp onto a piece of black cardstock and heat-embossed it with gold glitter embossing powder. A few ornaments can be popped out of the rubber cling (that might not make sense now but it will when you see the big reveal Monday! ;) ) and I stamped those onto vellum and heat-embossed them with the same gold glitter embossing powder.  

Next I stamped the sentiment from the kit (and one sentiment from an add-on) onto white cardstock with Versamark and heat-embossed them with gold embossing powder. I trimmed them down to a thin label and then cut out my vellum ornaments. I layered them with a curl of gold thread and adhered them to the card with foam mounting tape. Finally I trimmed the black panel down and adhered it to a white card base.  I love the mix of gold, black, and white for the holidays! It's a little unexpected, I think, but elegant, trendy, and sparkly! Thanks so much for stopping by!
