April My Monthly Hero Kits Are Here!

Happy April Everyone!

A new month means there's a new Hero Arts My Monthly available... Either the standard kit for $45 ($88 value) or the Superhero kit for $75 ($155 value). In this post I'm sharing one card made with the standard kit and another with the Superhero version. I think this might be my favorite Hero Arts kit this year so far! I had a blast and ended up making 7 cards during one weekend... I love this "Plant Lady Society" kit, it's so fun!

Card 1 

Shaker Card With My My Monthly Hero Kit

Immediately after seeing the greenhouse die I knew I wanted to make a shaker card. I used a lot of white scrap card stock for creating the shaker -I figured glueing several die cuts together was a more sturdy option than using foam behind the shaker window. It did work out super well and I'm so pleased of the end result! I also cut many plants, hanging pots and of course the cute cat from the kit too, using the card stock that comes in the kit. I wanted a very subtle background so I used the Birdsong Script Background stamp for stamping a tone on tone background. The heat embossed sentiment comes from the stamp sent included in the My Monthly Kit. Have a look at the whole kit in the photo below!

With this card I'd like to join these challenges:

Card 2 

Colored in Die Cuts with My Monthly Superhero Kit

The star features of this card are the stunning floral die cuts that come in the Superhero kit. I cut them from the card stocks that come in the kit and added some Copic marker shading to them. I used sentiment stamps from the kit as well, again heat embossed with white powder. I found some dark teal card from my stash, I think the flowers pop beautifully from it! Have a look at the Superhero kit in the picture below:
