Hero Arts November My Monthly Hero Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

6 Nov

Good afternoon!  Today is release day for the November My Monthly Hero Classic Kit and the October My Monthly Hero Premium Kit from Hero Arts! Both kits are now available for purchase at Hero Arts; but remember, once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good so make sure to head over and shop soon!  And don’t forget that you can subscribe to the kits so that you never have to worry about missing one!

If you follow me on social media you know that October was my last month as an official member of the Hero Arts Creative Team but I told you I wouldn’t be able to stay away!  Today I’m sharing a card using one of the gorgeous add-ons from the November release!

I fell head over heels for the Color Layering Holiday Neighborhood stencils and decided to create this jewel-toned wonderland!  The stencil has three layers so I chose three pinks, three teals, and three purple inks in varying shades.  I started with the lightest shades on the bottom layer and gradually added the darker shades.  I love where the pinks meet the purples and the purples meet the teals!  They blend so nicely together!

I added a sentiment using the Winter Town Cheer set from the November add-ons with an older (and sadly retired) Christmas Messages fancy die.  The Happy Holidays die is still available if you’re interested!

And that’s it for me! Head over and pick up your November My Monthly Hero Classic or Premium kit and add-ons before they sell 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, November 12th!  You should have arrived from Ilina and Lydia is your next stop!

Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more Hero Arts inspiration!  Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the hop!!

    Love these little houses, that they’re arranged around a card base, that they’re stencilled. Nice work, as always.

    I wanted these stencils so much I had to wrestle with missing out on the kit. For now. It’s not sitting very well with me so far lol but your card lets me know I will be very happy with them. I especially wanted something to have that fits envelopes so well. Thank you for sharing ur beautiful card.
