Hero Art's My Monthly Hero - January

Hi all,

I'm back today not only with a haul video, but with card shares as well.

I recently ordered the Hero Art's My Monthly Hero kit for January. They had a bunch of technical difficulty on their website the day of the kit release! Because of that, they included a sweet freebie gift to all people who placed an order for the kit. I think they sent items that haven't even ben released yet! What a wonderful company; sending such amazing freebies to make up for a malfunction with their website.

Anyway, I got my kit yesterday and took it out to play! I love love love this kit! It's meant to make beautiful shaker cards :) Not only do you get 3 dies and 2 stamp sets, but you get 2 mini ink pads, 6 notecards and envelopes, patterned vellum, and a Little Things from Lucy's Cards sequin mix made just for this card kit. What an amazing kit for the price! I have been extremely happy with both kits that I have ordered from Hero Arts. I also love that their kits are buy them as you like, because I wasn't very fond of the last 2 kits, and this meant I didn't get stuck with some kits that I didn't like!

Here's a picture of everything that came in the kit.

Here's a close up of the notecards, vellum, ink spots, and sequin mix.

Here's a close up of the 2 beautiful ink spots you get in the kit as well as the amazing True Love sequin mix from Lucy's Cards that was made just for this kit.

The stamps and dies that are included in this kit. You get 3 dies and 2 3x4 stamp sets.

These are the coordinating dies from the add-on kit that was available for purchase.

The last time I checked their website, the kit wasn't available anymore, but I'm not sure if they're going to offer it again because of all the problems they had with their website or not? If you like it, then maybe check back in a bit to see if it comes back in stock?  Here's the direct link to the kit:

Anyway, I put together a video showing what came in the kit as well as some other goodies I purchased. I also showed some cards that I made using this kit - ALL SHAKER CARDS!!! LOVE!!! I plan to create videos for some (or maybe all of these cards?) in the near future, so check back soon to see how I made these awesome shakers using this new kit :)

Here are pictures of the cards I made using this kit - remember, check back soon for some videos of these cards :)

 Thanks guys! I'll see you soon! :) Have a wonderful week!!

Papertrey Ink August 2015 Haul Video

Hey guys!


Tomorrow is the first day of school!! I'm so nervous to meet the rest of my sweet little Kindergartners! I'm so not ready to be back in work mode again and having to get up at 6:00!! I am not a morning person!! :)

So anyway, I have filmed a couple videos and posted them, and I'll share them each in a different blog post, but I just wanted to start with my PTI haul first. I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love seeing what other people bought because I like to see what other people like. Do we all like the same stamps, are there stamps that you love and bought that I'm not excited about and vice versa??? That's why I love doing my haul videos. Sometimes I feel like I'm just showing off all the fun stuff I bought, and I guess that's what it is, but at the same time, it lets other people know what has come out recently and see the items up close, which I also love.

Anyway, I got a lot of fun goodies from the Papertrey Ink August Release and I filmed this video to show you all the fun stuff I got.

I'm just now realizing that I forgot to include the Make It Market Halloween mini kit that came out this month, so if you haven't seen that, you should check that out too for sure! It's so adorable! My friend Betsy ordered on Stamp-a-Faire day to get the free stamp set, and I added some stuff onto her order, so when I get that one in, I'll show those things and my Halloween kit.

Here are some pictures of those cards I made using some of the new product in this release. I also posted them in my Stamp-a-Faire posts, but here they are again :)

Alright, well, I filmed and uploaded my craft room tour, but I want to take some close up pictures for you of all my organizing, so I probably won't get that blog post up today, but check back for it this week! And wish me luck on my first day!!!
