Hero Arts October My Monthly Hero Blog Hop

Hello! It’s the first Monday of October and that means it’s time for a new My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts. This is the kit I look forward to every year, their first Christmas kit!

We are celebrating with a blog hop and giveaway and this month Hero Arts is giving away an entire set of the October add on products. Read to the end for how to enter the giveaway.

Look through the window onto a joyous holiday scene with the October My Monthly Hero Kit. The candles are lit, the classic toys are under the tree and the champagne is flowing. This month’s kit includes Victorian Christmas-inspired imagery in a large 6×8 stamp set, and a gorgeous window die that sets the stage for the scenes you will create. Rounding out the kit are acetate sheets to mimic window glass, lovely jewel tone cardstock and glitter to add a bit of sparkle.
