Hello Friends, Welcome to Day 5 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Today I am super excited to reveal Hero Arts Monthly Kit! Have you heard about Hero Arts new monthly kits? Have you seen the sneak peeks on the Hero Blog? The Kits are called, “My Monthly Hero” and today the kit will have it’s full reveal! The product will go live in the Hero Arts online store at NOON EASTERN for purchase.
This card was created with the kit. I loved the poinsettias so much that I had to stamp a background with them. Seriously so much fun! I did some second generation stamping with the inks in the kit. (Second generation stamping is when you ink up your stamp and stamp it on some scrap paper first then stamp again on your project. This way the ink is lighter. It’t like when you apply a bright lipstick to your lips and blot some of it off to tone it down)
After layering the ink and die cutting the poinsettias I hand cut a few of the poinsettias cutting over the line to make the blooms a little smaller to enhance my layers.
Check out the Hero Arts blog for a list of bloggers using this kit loaded with inspiration.
The kit is available for a limited time only – once it’s gone, it’s gone. There is not an option to subscribe at this time (maybe in the future) but, a new exclusive kit will be released on the first Monday of each month.

I’m a geek and love to learn terms, especially on English, since it’s not my native language. 😀 I always learn something new when I visit your blog. Today: second generation stamping. (happy)
Anyway, thank you for sharing your STUNNING creation. 😀
hugs
GORGEOUS card!!!
WOW – the poinsettias are STUNNING and your background a DELIGHT – LOVE IT ALL!!!
2nd generation stamping is FUN and you have made it look MAGICAL today!!!
Always love to add some MAGIC to your day. Color your world. 🙂
Very pretty card, love it Kathy. Finally found time today to post, mum and dad keeping me busy. Will be interesting to see how much the kits are.
What a pretty card Kathy! The background flowers almost look like they were stamped in pink! Really great effect.
Love your card and the stamping technique you used. So pretty.
So gorgeous, Kathy!! I love it!!
The set looks divine, but I have to admit, you did some spectacular things with it. The layering is superb. I could watch you color and craft all day. ~Mari~ (your virtual assistant)
Thank you so much. I’m thrilled you are making time for you and joining the fun. Color your world. 🙂
WOW, Kathy, this is really spectacular! The background takes my breath away, seriously!
That second generation stamping make a LOVELY background!
Such a gorgeous card..I hadn’t heard of the Hero’s arts kits before…
This is their first kit that’s why Holly 🙂
Beautiful card Kathy!!! I will be checking out Hero Arts site at noon for this kit.
Simply amazing! I LOVE that background!
Love that the poinsettia are use both as focal element and background!! So beautiful!
I have not heard about these kits isn’t this a cutie patutie!
This is Hero Arts first kit. Relax with color. 🙂
this is lovely stamped off like this.
I am a poinsettia addict and LOVELOVELOVE this!! Off to see if I can snag one!! TFS!
Beautiful card–this kit looks terrific. I’m greatly enjoying the coloring challenge, thanks for your kind remarks on my work. I’ve had a set of Bic markers, for a few years and didn’t ever try to color with them. I’ve been doing some things with them and it’s a bit tricky to blend them, but having some success. Because of you, I’m challenged to try new things.
I’m thrilled you are inspired to try new things. Some types of paer make it easier to blend or see less strokes but the strokes can add texture too. A win win. Color your world. 🙂
Gorgeous! I have to get this kit! But! Is anyone else unable to establish a connection with Hero Arts webpage? Did we crash it trying to get this kit? LOL! I’ll keep trying.
Kathy, your card is right up my alley! I love making backgrounds then matching up the embellishments to the background. This will be easy with the kit b/c of the dies matching the poinsettias! Can’t wait to get it. Thanks.
I hope you were able to score a kit Jeanne. I heard they sold out 🙁
Hi Again, Kathy,
YES, I was able to get the kit. Pretty funny that everyone was bombarding the website after Sandy Allnock showed her card! But, it turned out fine. I’ve been making cards for a year by watching all you talented girls on UTube! This kit will be my first one! I’m not the “kit type” because I like to do my own thing most of the time with many different stamps/dies/ etc. But, this kit DOES look perfect for holiday cards. Thanks for answering me. I am an avid fan and love you 30 day coloring series!! ENJOY your day. Jeanne
Fabulous! After you use the kit take the supplies and think out of the box. The poinsettias can be colored for all seasons and not look like a poinsettia. You’ll wll be able to do your own thing for sure. Color your world happy. 🙂
What a great card. I learn so much from you thanks.
So much to love in this card – the stitching around the background, the actual poinsettias as a background and the vellum sentiment. Thumbs up all the way!
Simply stunning, looks fabulous, Jo x
Kathy, your card is gorgeous!
The pink just steals my heart. So do you! Safe travels home!
Love this!!
Gorgeous card! Love poinsettias!
Love this background. So delicate.
Sooooo pretty! Love that you used just some of the stamps for the background 🙂
What a fantastic card!! I ordered the kit and can’t wait for it to arrive so I can PLAY! 🙂
Yay congrats Melissa I hear they sold out!!
Such a lovely card Kathy!! Love it!!

Ooooh, I love how you created the background Kathy!! So neat!
I am struggling, trying to get connected with the multi-state stamped images, but I just had to comment and tell you what a great job you did on this card. Stunning, really.
Love that background really beautiful card 🙂
So pretty and creative use of the kit! Thanks for the Christmas inspiration!! Julie L
LOVE what you’ve done!
Such an awesome card. It’s just so pretty. I missed out on the kit, but happy to see everyone else’s projects.
Gorgeous card, Kathy. Also love that sketchy background.
This looks like a wonderful kit. I would be so tempted to buy this kit if I didn’t already have so many unused supplies. Besides, the shipping costs for getting this kit to Greece (20 dollars) are simply prohibitive.

Loved what you did so much I jumped right on the web as soon as I saw that they had re-opened ordering and got myself one too! Can’t wait to get it and start playing. Love the soft and feminine background with the second generation stamping!
Awesome. I think kits are great cuz sometimes a person (like me) has a hard time matching things up or can’t afford a whole set of something and their wanting to make 1 particular card or project for someone. This kit looks fab cuz dies n stamps well ya just can’t go wrong now can ya.?
