Hello Friends, How are you today? I am so excited to be taking part in Hero Arts My Monthly October Kit blog hop! 🙂 I think you are going to fall in love with this festive kit and the price! (The kit value is over $60, an amazing deal at $34.99.)
To start at the beginning of the hop go to to the Hero Arts blog.
My first card was created with the kit. If you watch the video click here you will see the process … how I shaded my stamped images and …. why I kept coming back to my card until I was satisfied.
Before the kit is released supplies are limited so I didn’t have all the elements … that’s why I used a different glitter in my shaker but, the kit has everything you need.
The holly is from one of the “add on’s” to the kit. The PAPER bow was created with some green shimmer cardstock. Glossy Accents were added to the holly berries. By the way Hero Arts is selling acetate in two sizes. Here and here! yay!
For my second project I wanted to work with some of the fun “add-on’s” to the kit. Everything is so interchangeable and super festive. The stars and the circles dies were to fun to use and ink up with versamark & emboss with rose gold and antique gold embossing powders.
To watch my Peek-A-Boo Gift Tags video click here.
The trees were embossed in the rose gold and colored with markers. I added glossy accents on the snow and sprinkled with glitter. Metallic thread was used to attach the top of my tag. Snowy dots were added with a gel pen.
CHECK out all the goods in this kit: A 4″x6″ clear stamp set – Dies for creating a snowglobe, snowdrifts and other background elements – Seven coordinating Frame Cuts dies to match the stamp set – Three pigment ink cubes in White, Silver and Baby Blue – Eight White Cards and Envelopes – Polar White Flower Soft – Buttons Galore Shaker Mix – Acetate Sheets in 4″x4.5″ (7) and 4″x6″ (1) for creating a shaker card – Light Blue Gemstones
GIVEAWAY: Hero Arts will be giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop.

These are two very creative projects. The holly leaves really add to the lovely snow globe.
I love the shaker with the chunky glitter and I’m glad you went back and put the brown base on it. Those peek-a-boo tags were so cute. I love thick embossing powder! They reminded me of lace cookies my granny used to make. They had holes and were kind of chewy. A little off subject but Christmas is all about memories.

This kit is so versatile and you have shown this perfectly! Thank you for sharing the video’s on how you made these wonderful cards and tags. ~Karen M.
Your card is beautiful, but the tags are what really caught my eye – such beautiful colors and a simple design!
Wonderful. I know what you mean about coming back multiple times until I’m happy with the finished product. But–I get really frustrated when my skill level (or lack of) messes up the last step. Arrrrrgh! But, just for the rainbow, I do have some lovely grocery lists! One of these days, I am going to go all out with the embossing! It is such a lovely effect. Thanks, Kathy.
Thank you for the inspiration your tag is awesome

Great card. Very excited about new kit.
Love the shimmery, metallic look of the globe base. Super job!
I love snow globes and have a few. I even have an Easter snow globe with a bunny in it and instead of snow it has tiny pastel colored flowers that fall on the bunny when you shake it up. You coloring is so pretty and that snow globe looks like it’s snowing! I love everything you do. Dover Publications has an autumn coloring contest right now so I have been coloring and getting ready to post my art work. I will show you when it’s all done.
i really, really love this set. wish i could afford it! maybe i will be lucky this time and win it!

Kathy, I love all of your creations.. The snow globe card if amazing!!! 🙂

I like the way the ornaments turned out. I like the addition of chunky glitter to the trees. I may borrow this idea. Thanks
Your snowglobe is so traditional and pretty – what a great kit Hero Arts has offered this month!
Those tags are absolutely adorable. Such detail! TFS
The technique where you inked the edges of the trees in two different colors gave it so much depth and dimension.
Fantastic card & tags! I like the depth you achieved with the deer in the first card!
