I don't think I've seen any sneak peeks that would make me buy this so far. I don't make valentine cards and rarely make anniversary type cards or wedding cards.

Full kit is up! There is a heart die and and ampersand, filligree corner. 4 colors of ink, sequins and pink embossing powder. Guess I will wait until I get the kit to decide if I really like it or not.  |

Wow. 2 stamps take up basically the whole sheet. Bad move to go back to 4x6 in this instance. Disappointed in this kit.

This is disappointing. I just don't see the full value here. It looks really limiting. I'm sure I'll make a couple things and then have more mini ink cubes and an embossing powder for my collection.
The sale category is really small this month too.

I think they are trying to make it look like the dies hold a lot of the value...but thanks to aliexpress, I don't see $20-$30 in the dies in this kit to make up for the lack of a 6x8 stamp set. They could have done a lot more, especially to kick off the first kit of the year. There have been many kits in the past that weren't my taste or style, but I saw the value in them even if they weren't usable for me. This one just looks cheap. I know already posted my thoughts, but I'm REALLY shocked by this kit. Usually HA is so good about the value of their products and this one seems nothing like any of the kits they've offered before. It jumps out to me as SC kit thin.

Although I don't have a need for valentines cards, I can't wait to see these made into 10 cards one kit videos on you tube. These people are very inventive.

Speaking of hero arts kits I heard somewhere that the 2 most popular stamp and dies from the monthly kits would be for sale in the next catalogue I didn't know you could vote for which kits was your favorite. I wish I'd known about this I would have put my two cents in. I ended up buying both of these off of eBay Even so the two that are returning are the safari and mermaid stamp and dies from those 2 kits. Those were the May and June kits 2017. Unfortunately they are not the whole kit.

Even so the two that are returning are the safari and mermaid stamp and dies. I don't that ever being a thing. Is it new or did I just miss it? It was a few months ago. I'm pretty sure I had an email about it, but they had a place you could vote for your one favorite kit, and they were going to reissue them. There was a post on the boards about it, too. I already had both the winners, so it was meh for me. ETA: Here's the link from their blog. heroarts.com/blogs/hero-arts-blog/mmh-2-year-anniversaryAnd I'm ok on this months kit. I don't like the font of the small words, and I don't think I'll use the love stamp much because it's so formal and fussy, but it is pretty, and I like the dies and love the ink colors. |

I don't love it either. I'll check it over once it gets here, and if I still don't like it I'll list it on eBay or somewhere.

Well, I just cancelled my subscription to the monthly kit. I really only subscribed to get the holiday sets, and I did. I will watch the blog and if I see another set I like I'll try to grab one!

I really like the ornate word and ampersand but dies have no value for me because I don't have a die cutting machine outside of my Silhouette Cameo. Bummer.

I must say, i subbed to SSS kits for a few months, and I think i may have liked them better. But when i look BACK at the Hero Arts kits, i do love them! I think I'll stick it out a few more months. |

I like the kit and think it's a good value. I like the filigree pieces, the layered stamp, and pretty much all of it.
The birds didn't tempt me, but I added on the henna design stamp from last month. It should all be fun to create Valentine cards with.

More neutral about the the words, but like the "Victorian" feel of them. Especially like the filigree dies & Japanese papers. Have a couple of ideas, but may not make as many cards this month as others.

clearly, this kit isn't very popular as I just got an email letting me know I could grab 2 more for friends in my free shipping order.

I think this is the first time I don't like the kit, I don't make Valentine's cards and to be honest 99% of my friends are already married so I can't even use it to make wedding cards. I was thinking about anniversary cards but meh I don't make those either  |
