My Monthly Hero May 2023 Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Hello, friends! Welcome to the May 2023 May Arts My Monthly Hero Blog hop! I am so excited to be a guest designer for this kit. You are going to absolutely LOVE IT! I could not stop creating with this kit and there are even more amazing add-ons!!!

I created this super fun card with the classic kit. I stamped the bike with pigment ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder so it looks like a the finish on an actual bike and I love it so much!!! The bike building stamps are so easy to use and then you have the die to cut it out perfectly! There is even a grass die for the grass stamp! WHAT?! Yes. Yes, there is.  

But, that's not all, folks! I played with the premium kit along with the classic kit for this one! These silhouette dies are everything. I cheated just a little bit... the die actually has a little girl riding the bike, but I snipped off the pony tail so it looks like my son. LOL! Versatility is a good thing! 

The image above shows you all of the goodness in both the classic and the premium kits. You can choose the version that works best for you, which makes it even BETTER!!! You can shop the full May collection HERE! Did someone say ICE CREAM TRUCK?!

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? This Premium 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! Three pigment ink cubes in happy colors, clear embossing powder, and two colors of glitter paper complete the list of items also available in the Classic version of this kit. We are excited to include a three-piece die set as the star of this upgraded Premium 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.

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, May 7th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
