This month's October My Monthly Hero kit will take you on a trip to a magical place. Destination?

The kit contains a chock-full 6x8" clear stamp set, offering an endless number of combinations. Coordinating Frame Cuts and Fancy Dies are also included, as is a sampling of decorative paper to add texture and shine to your projects. And finally, thick clear lacquer, pearl embossing powder and a white ink cube help you to add the final details to your card.
The kit contents include:

• 6 sheets 5x7" decorative paper (3 assorted styles 2 of each)
• 1 Thick Lacquer Pen
• 1 Silver Embossing Powder 0.5 oz

This kit is an incredible deal with so many goodies in it that the value is $70 but the cost to you is $34.99.
We also have some terrific, optional add-on products this month - 4 stamp sets, 3 coordinating Frame Cuts, 1 Paper Layering die, 1 wood mounted stamp, and 3 Stamp & Cut sets!
First we have the Nice Elves stamp set and coordinating Nice Elves Frame Cuts. These images are so cute and will bring a smile to anyone's face.
If you have nice elves you need naughty ones don't you think? So we have a Naughty Elves stamp set and coordinating Naughty Elves Frame Cuts. They can't be nice all of the time!
We also have the Irreverent Elf Messages stamp set.
Next up is a Paper Layering Wood Door die. Isn't this adorable? We think that it would be great for fairy doors as well!
If you have a beautiful wood door you need to decorate it. And we have just the right accessories for it with the Santa's Door Accessories stamp set and coordinating Santa's Door Accessories Frame Cuts.
We have several Stamp & Cut sets this month starting with the Winter Hearth Stamp & Cut set. Create a cozy scene - one that you wish you could enjoy yourself!
The next set is the North Pole Sign Stamp & Cut.
Doggy, kitty and stockings? Yes please! Our next add-on is the Fluffy Stockings Stamp & Cut set that will make the perfect card for a special animal lover in your life.
Last but not least is the Three Happy Elves wood mounted stamp. They look like they are enjoying a fun Christmas celebration.
If you purchase all of the add-ons in a bundle? You save 9%!
We are happy to have Jayne join us with a beautiful card that she created this month.
Jayne: There are so many wonderful images in this month's stamp set, I decided to use as many as I could to create a fun background for a pair of holiday sentiments. I started by using seven of the kit's image dies to create masks that I placed on a white cardstock panel. One at a time, I used a foam blender with Pale Tomato, Cotton Candy, Fresh Lawn, and Green Hills inks to apply color to the masked areas. Then, I stamped the matching images with Black ink over the inked shapes.
Next, I covered each image with masking paper and applied a subtle layer of Mint Julep ink to the top of the panel and around the images, gradually blending to white. To complete the background, I stamped an assorted selection of the kit's other stamps across the panel, filling each space with images that fit nicely.
I embossed two sentiments onto strips of red and green cardstock that I secured to a vellum cloud and then centered them on the card with foam tape. I matted the panel with white cardstock and added it to a pool card base. For some holiday sparkle, I finished the card with a few, clear gems.
Thank you Jayne! So creative!

Can someone please email me about how to use the Thick Lacquer pen. I am not quite sure how to use it with this kit. Thanks.
What is the thick lacquer and how do you use it?

My son suggested that he was offering to make something Xmas ish with me ( shock horror) so wowers, thanks for the chance & who knows maybe I will have my 13year old son back in my crafty zone without complaints :) good luck everyone & fingers crossed for us :) lol
