You Are Extraordinary Wonderful Amazing

Hello and welcome! We’re blog hopping today to celebrate the November Hero Studio collection. These sets are available by subscription so if you’re not already a monthly subscriber, be sure to check out all of the Hero Studio subscriptions options!

This month’s book theme is so cozy! The November 2025 Card Kit of the Month includes:

To Be Read Pile 4×6 Clear Stamp Set
To Be Read Pile Coordinating Dies
Happy Place Die Set
Professional Bookworm 3×4 Stamp & Cut
Gold Hero Wax, 1 oz.
10 Sheets of Cardstock- 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Bellini, Coral, Carrot, Terra Cotta,
Beeswax, Saffron, Tuscan, Peridot, Seaside, Waterfall)

For this card, I used the fun To Be Read stamps and dies from the Card Kit of the Month. I die cut the individual books from Coral, Carrot, Terra Cotta, and Tuscan cardstock (included in the kit) and then glued them to the base layer that I cut from white cardstock. I chose different spine designs and titles and stamped them in Onyx Pigment Ink.

Next, I used the November 2025 Cling Stamp of the Month: Checkerboard to create a tone-on-tone checkered background. I started with a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Chiffon cardstock and then used Ultra Fine Clear embossing powder to heat emboss the pattern.

I trimmed about half an inch off the length and width of the checkered panel, keeping the checkered pattern as centered as possible. Then I used foam tape to adhere the stack of books and more foam tape to adhere the card front to an A2 card base.

You Are The Best, End of Story

My next card features the November 2025 Layering Stencils of the Month: On the Shelf.

I used Pale Tomato, Dandelion, and Cornflower Core Inks to stencil the different stencil layers. Then, I used white embossing powder to heat emboss a stamped image from the November 2025 Stamp & Cut of the Month: One Page at a Time set onto Dahlia cardstock before cutting it out when the coordinating die.

To assemble the card, I glued the stenciled panel to an A2 card base and then glued a strip of Dahlia cardstock which I scored, three times vertically, with a bone folder. I glued on the stamped image to finish.

Thank you so much for visiting! Your next stop is Nichol Spohr!
