It’s Yay Day! Hero Arts My Monthly Hero May 2026 kit

Hello! There’s a celebration happening over at Hero Arts with their latest kit – Yay Day. It’s all about birthdays and celebrations!

Contents of the regular kit:

  • Happy Birthday Die Set
  • Big Present Die Set
  • Birthday Icons Stamp & Cut
  • Tiny Tags Die Set
  • 10 Sheets of Cardstock – 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Blush, Tutu, Dahlia, Chiffon, Coral, Carrot, Beeswax, Saffron, Seaside, Waterfall)

PLUS, these items exclusive to the Super Hero Kit:

  • Big Balloon Shaker Die Set
  • A Train Alpha Die Set
  • Make a Wish Stamp & Cut

I used the balloon shaker elements in the Super Hero Kit to create a 5×7 card.

First, I die several pieces of the balloon frame from the shaker card dies. I overlapped them and then adhered several layers of Cardstock to make it thick enough for a shaker. The thickness would really depend on what you will use for your shaker bits. Then I cut two pieces of the whole balloon on acetate and layered it on top. I also trimmed off the middle area where the two balloons meet.

Next, I die cut one piece of the balloon frame using Waterfall cardstock and one piece using Tutu Cardstock and adhered on top of the acetate. I trimmed the area where the two meet but this is optional.

Then I filled all the areas with shaker bits. I used some round clay bits of different colors as my shaker elements. This came from an older MMH kit.

Then I use the left over circles from the frame cut outs to close up the back using some washi tape so the buts would not fall out.

Next, I adhered it to a panel of Alabaster cardstock cut to 1/4″ smaller on all sides to fit a 5×7 panel of Lavender cardstock. I added the balloon string in Lavender for the pink balloon and Mint for the blue balloon just to tie everything together  (pardon the pun!)

To finish off the card, I stamped the stars with Lemon Drop reactive ink and the Happy Birthday in Splash reactive ink.

I will share more inspiration with you using the kit.

Thank you so much for dropping by!

Have a wonderful crafty day!

Til next time!
