Good morning! We’re kicking off the countdown to the Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a card using the new kit and some pretty add-on papers!
The kit contains some great sentiments and dies and I used two for today’s card! I die-cut the hands using cardstock from the optional add-on and trimmed strips of each cardstock color. I adhered the cardstock strips on a diagonal on an A2 panel and trimmed off the edges. I added the hands with foam mounting tape for a little dimension and finished the card with a sentiment from the kit heat-embossed with white embossing powder on pitch black cardstock. The kit sentiment set has fantastic encouraging sentiments for a range of occasions and you’ll see lots of inspiration from the other creative team members!
And that’s it for me! Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the August My Monthly Hero kit all weekend long!! And then I’ll be back Monday with the full kit reveal and a video!!
For a chance to win a kit before you can buy it, just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, August 2nd, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Beautiful card!
These hands can represent so many things from love to unity, etc. & the strips of card stock for the background could be interpreted as a variety of skin tones. I like the simplicity of this card Jess.
