Welcome to the Hero Arts "My Monthly Hero March 2018 Card Kit" Blog Hop! As I'm typing this we are in the middle of a giant winter storm! Winter came late this year. But, It's March, and Spring is coming to everyone finally. Time to open up the windows and breathe in some fresh air...and get crafty! I'm happy to be here today launching the newest, latest, greatest MMH Card Kit from Hero Arts! This month's kit has lots of sentiments and beautiful word dies, and ink and embossing powder...lots of things to give you options on your cards. Mix and match the different words with the new dies to create the perfect greeting for any occasion. I used the main kit for my card today and also one of the beautiful background dies. I made a cheerful, friendly coffee card to send to a friend. The color combination is fresh and fun - aqua, red, kraft and black. And...with cream instead of white cardstock.
You may have arrived here from Emily's amaaaaazing blog! If you want to start at the beginning of the hop CLICK HERE to go to the Hero Arts Blog. As always, lots of fun and inspiration for you today from my awesome fellow bloggers! I'm always grateful to be included in the Hero Arts lineup! If you're new to my blog today - welcome. Enjoy the hop today! I will always warn you, these kits sell out VERY FAST (usually the first day) so if you like it, don't hesitate! I know I say that every time, but it's true! Get it while you can! They are such a great value! Each kit is $34.99 and this month's kit has a value of $70.00!
And here's my coffee card! My card base is A2 size, made from cream cardstock. I used Copic Markers to color the coffee images. Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post! Cheers! I already love this scripty hello die. It cut out like a dream too.
After I made my card base, I layered my favorite color of aqua cardstock onto the card. Then I used the new background die and cut it out of kraft paper. I layered the kraft over a layer of cream paper the same size. These served as my foundation layers. Then I die cut two circles out of the Hero Arts Nesting Circles dies for the focal point layers. I die cut the hello die and the banner die from black cardstock.
I stamped and colored the two coffee cups and cut them out by hand. I heat embossed the 'great friend' sentiment with white embossing powder onto the black banner. I added Diamond Stickles to the hearts and the whip cream for some sparkles!
To attach the word die, I used a glue pen on the back and then used my tweezers to hold it and place it onto the card. I held it down with my fingers for just a moment until the glue stuck. I like how it layers over everything else! The cups were attached with foam tape. I added a few red enamel dots because I always love a pop of red with aqua!
The kit is available NOW! Yippeeeee! This kit is a great value for $34.99! Hero Arts is VERY generous with their beautiful kits! All the supplies I used are listed below in my links!
That lattice background is fantastic. Great card

Such a great Friend card! Love the confetti cover die in kraft on white. Saw a lot of white on white in the pre release posts so nice to see it used differently
