Hello, and happy Monday.
Today, Hero Arts has released their January My Monthly Hero kit, and I am joining in a blog hop to celebrate. This month's kit is love themed and is perfect for Valentines and friendship cards. You should have arrived from Yana Smakula's blog. If not, head to the Hero blog to start at the beginning.
My card today features stamps, dies and extras from the kit and the add on die set... I simply stitched acetate to some of the card from the kit, filled it with sequins, then adhered to a Snow folded card. I added a vellum sentiment strip and the die cut Valentine from the add on die set.
And those sequins... they are an exclusive Shaker Selection I designed for the kit. So very excited and honoured to be a part of this fab kit. :)
Want a closer look at the kit's contents? It's great value at $29.99. Warning: these kits are limited availability and tend to sell out fast...
And the die add on kit includes the Valentine's word die and a set of mini hearts. See it HERE.
I created a couple more cards with the kit which have been shared on the Hero blog over the last few days. I thought I'd share them here too.
First, a simple watercoloured friendship card... (more details HERE)
And next, another shaker. (More details HERE.)

hi Lucy, loving all your cards really beautiful. Happy new year to you ♥
Lovely cards Lucy, especially excited about those gorgeous sequin selections you have created. I wish it was easier/cheaper to get these kits in the uk. Any suggestions?

ALL cards are really beautiful. I think my favorite is the aqua friendship card. So soft & lovely.
I love the shaker cards! What better use for sequins than that.
I really like how the die cuts the heart on your last card.
Gorgeous card design, love it!!!
Oh my gosh !! Clever way to make a full front shaker card :) I am having a hard time deciding which card I like the best !! I always am drawn to the color of aqua and white combinations, so I really like this card. They are all terrific. :)
What a great kit and so many wonderful cards!
Bokeh in sequins! This took alot of time and commitment on your part to make. I hope the receiver appreciates it!
I love the stitched shaker card! When I first saw the picture I thought that they were individually glued on the card. SIgh! I guess I need to learn how to sew now.
Every card here is fabulous!
Wonderful cards! Love this kit!
My favorite of the three cards is the pool color one.
These are so beautiful. I love the full shaker card and your stitching is perfect.
I love this version of a shaker card - no worries about the shaker filler sticking to the edges of the window. I think it should be much easier, too. Hero Arts sure does know how to make an awesome card kit!
Such lovely cards and I'm really liking your sequin mixes. It's so awesome that your products are part of the Hero Arts kit! From KR
I love yours creations are beautiful, this kit is wonderful

Very pretty. Who wouldn't love one of those for Valentine's Day?
Awesome! All this inspiration, and you are adding a prize, too!! Just in time for me to try my first shaker, too. That is my goal for this year, and I plan to make one for my grand-girl's birthday next month! Some extra sparkly would be awesome! Thanks so much.
Beautiful cards. Shows how you can use any colors for your valentine.

Great cards...I particularly like the first because of all the sequins.
What beautiful cards! I would never have thought of inserting sequins in a stitched acetate envelope. And I love anything watercolor.
When I first got to your blog, before I read how you made the card, I thought you had glued all those sequins to the front!
Beautiful!!

I love all the sequins on the card. It looks like champagne bubbles! It's so sparkly and pretty. Anyone would love to receive that card. The water color one is pretty too. I got some water colors and sequins for Christmas from Santa so I will put them to good use making cards. Thanks for all the inspiration!
The cards you made are gorgeous! I love your sequin kits!
Love all the awesome sparkle the sequins add!
So great to see several fabulous creations all from the same kit! You really showcase the versatility of the Hero Arts products. Awesome works of art!
I love the colour coordinations of your cards!
Amazing cards! Thanks for the double giveaway chance, too! :)
I love all of these cards. They each have their own vibe. The first one is fun and reminds me of a sequined gown! The second one is soft and simple. And the third emits a lot of emotion. The stitching is a great addition and I'm glad to see you used different colors and not all traditional. Btw, I love your sequins. I have bunches of them but I could use even more! Thanks for sharing!
Your sequin mixes are amazing! They totally take the guess work about what works in a shaker!
Gorgeous cards Lucy...I love all three, especially the blue watercolored..love the simplicity of it.
Your valentine shaker collection for Hero Arts is sweet as can be..love how you have added the seed beads. Makes great shaker sound.
Oh my!!! These cards are so beautiful!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Thanks for providing such great inspiration!
Amazing cards Lucy - this is the first time I have visited your blog and I love your style.
Blessings

Your cards are GORGEOUS, Lucy!!! Love how simple they are, nice designs, pretty colors and sequins. :-D
Gorgeous cards! Gorgeous sequin mixes! Love your sequins. I have been coveting them for quite some time. But I have a question about the big shaker card, if you would be so kind as to respond. (It might be a silly question though!) Presumably you have to stop the stitching part of the way around to fill the card with the sequins. How do you stop and start again so the stitches match up? And associated threads? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Absolutely stunning cards, Lucy. I love your sequin mix - so beautiful! xx
I love your cards!!
Wonderful cards, Lucy! I love all three of them but card #1 is simply stunning, Jo x
Very sweet cards. Love the one with the birds.
Beautiful cards, beautiful kit! I am really loving those sequins!
Love love love your sequin card. Can you have too many sequins? I think not.
I love the idea of stitching acetate to a card to hold sequins! Thanks for the inspiration!
Lucy, I love your sequins. Your shaker collections are the perfect addition to the popular shaker cards. Thanks for giving us such a generous bunch of cards. They are all lovely except the froggie card which is super clever.
Lovely cards!!
Great cards! All of them are so cute! thanks for sharing!
I love the first shaker card.
wonderful cards Lucy - thanks for all the good ideas - can't wait to get my kit!
I didn't see that you said you stitched acetate to the first card and thought you were NUTS to glue all those things to the front of your card ;)
Very pretty! Love all of your mixes :D
Lots of great ideas for when my kit arrives! And I'd love to choose some of your fun sequins to play with! Thanks so much for the chance!
Love all the cards but the first one is fabulous! Never thought of doing a full frontal shaker card!
I really like all 3 of your cards and I like that the "you are awesome..." phrase can be used all year round and not just mainly for Valentine's Day. The 3rd card just popped out at me - the stitching around the heart adds a great discrete detail - it took me a while to figure out why I liked this card so much!
Beautiful cards!!! Love your sequins mix!
Wow! I love this card! Simple but so beautiful. And Lucy, I've been a big fan of your sequin mixes for some time now. Thanks for hooking up with Hero Arts to make this kit so fantastic. <3
