October 2018 My Monthly Hero is Here! + Giveaway!

Our latest My Monthly Hero release is here!

Our October My Monthly Hero kit is snow much fun! Happy tidings and winter wishes abound as you color scenes of kids ice skating and animals decorating the tree. But watch out for that silly raccoon, he managed to get himself tangled in the lights! The kit includes a 6x8 clear stamp set with matching Frame Cuts as well as a beautiful Paper Layering tree die which coordinates with the tree stamp or can be used on its own. We've rounded out the kit with goodies to give your projects sparkle and shine - glitter paper in three wintry shades, a bottle of iridescent ink to add a bit of shimmer, and a package of lovely iridescent star embellishments.

This month's kit includes:

  • 6" x 8" Clear Stamp Set
  • 14 Coordinating Frame Cuts
  • 1 Paper Layering Tree Die with Frame
  • 6 5.5" x 8.5" Sheets of Glitter Paper (Silver, Sea Glass, Twilight)
  • Iridescent Star Embellishments
  • Iridescent Ink 0.5 fl. oz. (shake well)

This kit is valued at $70, but is an incredible deal at $34.99. It is available in limited quantities - be sure to get yours before they are gone!

Along with our main October kit, there are several new optional add-on products, perfect for your winter and holiday projects! First up, the elegant new Color Layering Trimmings and the matching Color Layering Trimmings Frame Cuts.

Next, from elegant we're headed to adorable with the new Ice Fishing stamp set and Ice Fishing Frame Cuts. This set is absolutely snow much fun!

The Stacking Snowflakes stamp set pairs well with everything this release, to give your projects the feel of winter.

The versatile Christmas messages included in Peace, Love & Joy will be a staple you will use again and again.

And for more playful sentiments, Merry and Bright Messages is a perfect choice!

Our Sledding Stamp & Cut is sure to send you dashing through the snow - what's more fun than sledding cats & dogs?

We have two new handy tag dies sets this month - Tree Tags Fancy Dies and Ornament Tags Fancy Dies.

Also in the release, two beautiful new 6x6 cling backgrounds - Delicate Snowflake Bold Prints on the left, and Graphic Snowflake Bold Prints on the right.

And perfect for your winter holiday projects, we're introducing White Liquid Watercolor! This pigment-based watercolor mixes well with other colors to create beautiful pastels, and sits slightly on top of other colors to look like snow.
