May 2023 My Monthly Hero Release - Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Our May release celebrates the freedom and joy of childhood! And what child, young or old, doesn't love riding their bike, breathing the fresh air with wind in their hair? Our Classic Kit includes a 6" x 8" stamp set featuring Color Layering bicycles as well as the elements to decorate them, including items for the basket, pets and balloons or flags to hang off the back. The set is also full of useful sentiments in a convenient message strip font. There are coordinating dies, as well as a fabulous flower stencil for decorating your card background, or even your envelope! The other elements in this fun kit are three pigment ink cubes in happy colors, clear embossing powder, and two colors of glitter paper.

This month's Classic Kit includes:

• Clear Stamp Set, 6” x 8”
• 20 Coordinating Dies
• Flower Stencil, 6” x 6”
• 3 Sheets each of Glitter Paper in Rose Gold and Aqua, 5.5” x 8.5”
• 3 Pigment Ink Cubes (Teal, Pink, and Yellow)
• Clear Embossing Powder, 1/2 oz

The Premium Kit includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and techniques - even more Creativity In The Box! We are excited to include a three-piece die set as the star of this version of the kit. Each die can be used on its own, or combine them for creating an adorable layered scene. Our Hero Transfers have proven to be a huge hit thanks to their versatility and ease of use, and this kit includes four sheets of colorful bicycle and flower rub-ons, perfect for your cards, envelopes, planners, journals and more! The dies that coordinate with the 6" x 8" stamp set also loosely line up with the transfers - not exactly, but they may prove to be "close enough" depending on your project. Rounding out the kit are two sheets of fabulously cool holographic paper.

This month's Premium Kit includes:

• Clear Stamp Set, 6” x 8”
• 20 Coordinating Dies
• Tri-Fold Fancy Dies
• Flower Stencil, 6” x 6”
• 4 Sheets of Bicycle Hero Transfers
