Hero Arts Monthly Kit: Advent Calendar
Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Today we are part of the My Monthly Hero Blog Hop, celebrating the new November kit from Hero Arts.
I’ve played with the add-ons that are available in the Simon Says Stamp store to create an advent calendar… not a typical calendar, but one with hanging gifts.

I’ve used the Number It Stamp and Cut set (DC201) to create the count down days (white embossed) and placed them onto different die cut tags from the DC200 Little Messages Stamp & Cut set.
I’ve mixed pattern papers of red, kraft, teal and white for a nice variety of color and tied each of my gifts to the hanger with coordinating twine and cord.
I have put together a video showing an up-close look at some of my tags and gift bags. You can watch it below or on our YouTube Channel.
The add-on portions of the My Monthly Hero Kit CM122 Mini Christmas, DC200 Little Messages Stamp & Cut, DC201 Number It Stamp & Cut, SA087 Holiday Words Stencil are available for purchase in the Simon Says Stamp store. You can purchase the kit at Hero Arts by clicking here.
Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes Sunday, November 13 at 11:59pm, and the winner will be announced the following week. Be sure to leave a comment on each stop for a chance to win!
