Hero Arts December 2022 MMH Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello and welcome to the December 2022 My Monthly Hero Release Blog Hop and Giveaway! I loved making stunning backgrounds with the cling stamps and stencils released this month. I had a few fails but I ended up with six backgrounds I love. I’m sharing three of them today.

This month we invite you to go on a celestial fantasy adventure with us! Our December release is full of stars, galaxies, moons and clouds. The playful December My Monthly Hero kit, with its adorable space cadets, is perfect for birthdays, encouragement, or simply sending a friendly hello. The kit includes a jam-packed 6 x 8 stamp set with coordinating dies. There’s also the perfect cling stamp for your interstellar backgrounds, a gorgeous Rose Gold pigment mini ink pad, and four half sheets of our ever-popular Pitch Black cardstock!

• 4.625″ x 5.875″ Cling Stamp
