October My Monthly Hero - Autumn Harvest

 Happy October 1st! A new My Monthly Hero has arrived and this one celebrates all things autumn! I have six cards to share here on my blog today, so let's dive right in...

My first two cards feature the October My Monthly Hero Kit. One of the dies in that kit is this beautiful sunflower set used above. 

Everything you see below is what you receive in this month's My Monthly Hero...

I paired my sunflowers with the lovely Bee-Cause embossing folder and the always classic Arches Infinity Dies.

My next card using the My Monthly Hero base kit showcases the seed packet dies...

The stamp set included works well with the seed packet dies included. I also tucked in some of my extra sunflowers. The background uses the Plaid Company embossing folder (I'm clearly in my embossing folder era!).

My third and fourth cards feature the corn layering stencil and dies. While the corn dies are included in the base kit, the beautiful layering stencils are a great addition to the My Monthly Super Hero Kit!

I have two similar cards because, unfortunately, the woven embossing folder (below) isn't available anymore (but I think this one would be a great substitute!) so I created a second similar one with a background that is available!

So my second card uses the Sweater Weather embossing folder! When inking up the layers of the stencil, I masked off the husk leaves with each layer. Once the corn kernels were all inked, I lined up the stencil again to ink up the husk in yellows and greens.

My hope was to make my corn look like the maize with various colors, included a deep purplish tone.

How darling is this wooden wheelbarrow?! The die set also includes all the lovely pumpkin and leaf dies. It was really fun to put together, and I think adding some sunflowers would be a nice touch!

I wanted it to be nestled in a wheat field or something similar, so this grass die (layered twice) from Butterfly Foliage Fancy Dies was a perfect fit.

You made it to the last card! I had die cut so many pumpkins and leaves for my wheelbarrow card that I had several leftover. This card came about with whatever was left sitting on my desk... and I think it may just be my favorite one!?

HeroWeen Days 9, 10, and 12

 I'm stttiilllll sharing more HeroWeen cards! And yes, they are out of order again, and also yes, I'm sharing a second card featuring Day 10 dies. It's such a cute day!

The first card features the tombstones and ravens from Day 9. I paired the HeroWeen dies with this classic Garden Gate die. I added black acrylic splatters over the background (and glitter wings to the ravens!).

My second card features the adorable cat die from HeroWeen Day 10...

I did a lot of ink blending to create a glowing full moon and a night sky. Our little cat found a witches broom and decided to go for a ride. I also heat embossed in silver the sentiment, which can be found in the HeroWeen Day 12 envelope.

Spooky vibe sonly!

Candy Haunted House

My inspiration for today's card is a bit odd... I was thinking of the Hansel and Gretel "fairy tale" and how it's really just a very frightening story to scare children :) But here is a haunted house made of candy, of course!

I also have a quick reel showing it come together, which I've shared today on my Instagram. This fun card uses the HeroWeen sets from days 2, 3, and 4 and the included stamp set. As usual, all my dies are cut using my Platinum 8 die cutting machine.

I used my MISTI to stamp the candy pieces with inks in Taffy, Creamsicle, and Splash. I also added some splatters with the Black Acrylic Speckle Ink.
