I shared this card using the My Monthly Hero kit on my blog this weekend:

And today, I’m sharing a fun pair of cards using the Mazel Tov add-on set:

Mazel Tov by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

For my first card I stamped the menorah and sentiment from Mazel Tov onto a panel of Dove White cardstock with embossing ink and heat-embossed it with platinum embossing powder.  I also stamped the Star of David solid and outline images with embossing ink and heat-embossed them with the same embossing powder.  I colored the menorah with warm grey copic markers and Y15 and Y19 copics.  I finished the card by stamping more of the stars with a variety of blue inks.

My second card is a little cheeky play on words using ‘The Dreidel Song.’  I simply stamped the dreidel stamp three times with intense-ified black ink.  Then I die-cut the word ‘oh’ using the Luggage Tag Alpha dies and pitch black cardstock.  I adhered it to the card panel to finish this CAS card!

And that’s it for me!  I just adore the nostalgia of this kit and add-ons! Head over and pick up your October My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today before it sells out!

To celebrate the kit release Hero Arts is giving away a $50 gift card as a prize to one blog reader selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  Please comment before 11:59PM EST on Sunday, October 10th!  You should have arrived from Ilina and Lydia is your next stop!

    My grandmom had candles on her tree and I use to love to lay beneath the silver tree and watch the colorwherl colors on the wall behind. Your background brought back these wonderful memories. Thanks
