Hero Arts - November 2021 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY
Hey there Arties!! I’m happy you have stopped by for the release day blog hop and video for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero November 2021!
November is here and the holiday season is upon us! With our November My Monthly Hero kit, we have everything you need to create adorable handmade tags and/or gift toppers for all of your Christmas gift-giving. The dies in this kit are equally great for cards, scrapbook pages and even felt ornaments! We've included a stamp set with patterns to decorate the tag pieces, and plenty of holiday-themed messages, too. To round out the kit, we've included cardstock and glitter paper for die cutting your characters. White Puff Embossing Powder is fun for adding some dimensional texture, and our Lacquer Pen adds dimensional shine. And last but not least, there's festive red & white twine for embellishing, or attaching your tags to gifts.

NOTE: This card uses only stamps and dies from the main kit
Project #1 — A Snowman Card
Supplies:
Gemini Junior ($139.99 at Scrapbook dot com)
Steps for Creating this Card
First, stamp the polka dot pattern on some Sand cardstock with Clear ink and melt some Gold embossing powder over it.
Then, trim that down to just inside the edges of the design and pop it up on the front of an A2 sized Dove White card base with foam tape.
Next, die cut lots of pieces with the dies from the kit and pull together the hat, holly, face and scarf for the snowman.
After that, color in the snowman with Copic markers. I used YG99, YG97, YG95 for the hat, G28, YG07 and YG06 for the holly, R29, R27 and R24 for the scarf, C4, C2 and C0 for the face, W9 for the eyes and nose, and R83 for the cheeks.
I wanted to tie in the gold dots with something on the snowman, so I added a buckle to his hat with a Versamarker and some Gold Embossing Powder.
Then, assemble the snowman with Precision Glue.
Next, pop up the snowman over the center of the card.
To finish off the project, add a sentiment strip to the front with the Warm Wishes stamp, some Pitch Black cardstock, Clear ink and Gold Embossing Powder.
Project #2 — The Fire Inside’s Delightful
Supplies:
Gemini Junior (Scrapbook dot com has it for $139.99)
Steps for Creating this Card
First, I die cut the fireplace and stockings with dies from the Fireplace Stamp & Cut XL set.
Then, I stamped the stockings and colored them in with red and green Copics.
Next, I stamped the elf and sentiment and fussy cut them out. I colored the elf with the same colors.
After that, I colored in the fireplace with E29, E27, E25 and E23 Copics.
Then, I trimmed a strip of Cranberry cardstock and a section of Antique Ivory, too, and adhered them to the front of a Dove White Side-folding card with Precision Glue.
To finish off the project, I popped everything up over the front of the card base with foam tape!
