 PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST  
  
Hero Arts NEW October 2025 Hero Studio Club Kits are NOW available for subscription until October 27th. If you are new to these subscriptions, you can find them HERE
 

 Today I'm showcasing the NEW Merry Era Card Kit of the Month.
 

 I fell in love with the large disco ball that was included in this months kit and it can be used for more than holiday projects. For my projects this month I created a card along with a tag/shaped card to show you how versatile this die is.
 
Project #1 - Sparkle & Shine
Features: Merry Era Card Kit of the Month and Sparkle & Shine Stamp and Cut of the Month
 
Card Measurements:
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
Seaside Embossed A2 Panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Silver/Blush Disco Ball: 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Blush Sentiment Die Cut: 1 1/2" x1 3/8"
 
Project #2 - Have A Ball This Christmas
Features: Merry Era Card Kit of the Month 
 
To create the Disco Ball Shaped card, I cut out a 4 1/4" circle using Everlasting Circles (S4-1280) and scored across 1/4" from the top to create a hinge to attach to the back of the disco ball die cut with strong adhesive. I also cut across the bottom approximately 1/8" up to square off the bottom to help with making the card stand straight up when on display.
 
Card Measurements:
Disco Ball Shaped Card Base: 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Poppy Sentiment Die Cut: 3" x 5 /8"
