Hero Arts: October My Monthly Hero Countdown to Creativity


Hi everyone!
Happy Saturday! Today we are continuing with the October My Monthly Hero Sneak peeks!
I LOVE this month's kit. This month's kit is Victorian Christmas Themed and it's AMAZING!
The kit goes live on Monday October 7th at 10am PST/1pm EST.
For more ideas and sneak peeks visit the Hero Arts Blog! 
I decided to use the cover die that comes in the set, but without the frame to make a three fold card. I started with making a top folding note card from Pebble card stock and die cut the front using the die. I also die cut one layer from white card stock. I cut a piece of Dove white card stock little smaller than 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". This die is symmetrical, so when you adhered in inside the card you can turn it around and have a nice finish in the inside too. 
Stamped the sentiment using Embossing and watermark ink and embossed in Detail White. On the back I added piece of acetate and then adhered the inside to cover up the adhesive. Stacking these made the front more sturdy! 
Stamped the image and colored. Die cut with the coordinating die.
Made top folding note card from Dove White and turned it around so the fold is on the bottom. Adhered the Pebble and White note cards and on the free white flap that comes on the top I ink blended some Lemon Drop reactive ink. Adhered the image and closed the top.
