Good afternoon! Today is the release day for the Hero Arts November 2016 My Monthly Hero and I am so honored and excited to be celebrating the release with the Hero Arts Creative team and other special guests! You should have arrived from Heather but if not, you can head to the Hero Arts Blog to start at the beginning!

- Ornament hooks and more!

This ornament die is so clever! I had a lot of fun using it with the accompanying stamps and dies! And I made a few cards using the stamps! 😉 Don’t forget to check out the bottom of my post for details on how to win a kit! Here’s what I created:
The die is perfect for hiding little candy treats or gifts for the holiday!
And I love how you can customize the look of the box with the stamps and dies! On my second box I used the dies on each triangular panel and lined it with a second vellum box for a more frosted look.
Finally I used the snowflake stamp to make two Christmas cards, a CAS design and a peaceful snowy evening scene!
Love LOVE the versatility of this kit!
You will have endless options for gift holders, tags, and cards with this kit!

Thanks for all the lovely ideas, very inspiring!
EleganT ornaments and wonderful use of vellum!
I’m not sure I would have thought of actually sticking an entire vellum box inside of another one. I probably would have cut and glued down individual triangles lol. Thank you for the timesaving idea!

OMG this is so beautiful! I just got into papercrafting and would love to have this. I just bought some heroarts stamp/die sets from michaels yesterday and cant wait to use them.
Your ornaments are beautiful – especially the vellum snowflake ornament. Just gorgeous. And I also love the card using the triangles as trees. So striking with the navy.
Your treat boxes are so elegant! Love your cards too–very playful.
