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!

Very different design for an old idea.
Love your tutorial! Very helpful! Thanks
What a beautiful idea for an advent calendar. It makes me want to try something like it but a little bit more basic than your masterpiece! I make cards to try to develop my artistic side and it’s great to see my card-making products can be so versatile.
This is so gin!

Oh I want to make some advent calendars now!
The most incredible Advent Calendar ever…I have to try to make one. Thank you so much!
What a great idea! You could even mix up the dates all over your calendar as a subtle learning tool for youngsters who are learning their numbers. They will be eager to sort through all the packages to find the right number, and they won’t even realize they are learning at the same time.
so gorgeous!!!
Very fun advent calendar! my grandkids would love it!
Great idea for the gift bags!

Love your advent calendar. The way you used different kinds ofs packaging really makes it adorable. I really really want to thank you for supporting Huntington’s Disease. Not enough people are aware of it, and awareness is key in finding a cure. My darling mother suffers from this horrible disease as well as others in my family. Sheri you are truly an angel for help spreading awareness. May God send blessing your way.
