I had a chance to play with my newest My Monthly Hero kit, and made 4 cards. I have been feeling hopeful that things will be better in 2021 than they were in 2020, and this kit captures that feeling. Unfortunately, as I post this, our capital is under attack, so I don't know if it is time yet to be hopeful.
My first card was inspired by Julee Tillman. I sponged three different colors of Catherine Pooler ink on to a piece of card stock, then cut it out with the 'HOPE". I layered 3 die cuts to create some texture. I carefully saved the cut out pieces to use on my next card. I also stamped the card base with the largest of the 2 sunburst images in the kit.
And...this is what I did with the bits and pieces I cut out of the previous die. 2 cards with one pass of the die.
This next card was inspired by Mariana, and I used only the stamps from the kit. I really love how the stamps layer up the clouds and sky.
Last up is a card inspired by Michelle. I was able to use the stamps and dies from the kit on this card. Honestly, I think that this may be my favorite MMH kit yet.
I am entering all these cards in the following challenges: Stay Crafty with Hero #18: Inspired by..., The Paper Players #522: Use Something New, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: use a new product, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Something New, Use Your Stuff #413: All About the New, Shopping Our Stash #436: What's New with You.
