April My Monthly Hero Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hi stampers!
Welcome to the April MMH release blog hop. This is another kit you don't want to miss!!!!
This kit is all about Italy and the Mediterranean! If you know me, you know Italy is my favorite country and love going back to Italy once in a while. So this kit hit a sweet spot for me!! 

Here's a quick look at the kit!



This month's kit includes:
4" x 6" Clear Stamp Set
7 Scenery Fancy Dies
14 5.5" x 8.5" Sheets of Hero Hues Premium Cardstock (Sand, Mustard, Pumpkin, Cherry, Plum, Adriatic, Arctic)
2 5.5" x 8.5" Sheets of Vellum Paper
2 Rolls of 1/2" Foam Tape, 2.2 yd. each, in 2 thicknesses
Tombow Mono Drawing Pen (Black)


Due to the abundance of fabulous dies, this kit is valued at $93.50, but is an incredible deal at $34.99. It is available in limited quantities - grab yours before they are gone!

Besides the main kit there are several amazing add ons!!! Two Cling Background stamps, One wood mount stamp, 2 clear stamp sets with coordinating dies, 2 clear stamp sets and 3 sets of Fancy dies!!!! 

Lets start by taking a look at a card I had yesterday over at the Hero Blog before moving onto more creations for today! 

Here are couple more card using the main kit! I just love building scenes with the dies from the kit, the first is sunset and the second is mid day. 






Next, I have a card using the new Bold Prints Venetian Fleur De Lis  and Italian Table and the coordinating dies. 



Then the fabulous Venetian Neighborhood stamp paired with a sentiment from the Main kit. I love this one and loved watercoloring it!! 


Last, but not the least is a card I made combining the three sets of Fancy Dies: Tree arch , European Village and European Plaza and added sentiment from Color Layering Village!
