Hero Arts Tiny Library

Hello! Thanks for stopping by today! I’m sharing my last card featuring the August 2026 My Monthly Hero kit, and with its interactive element, it’s my favorite one. I used the Tiny Library die set and all its little accessories to create this charming free library at twilight, complete with little doors that actually open and close. So cute! I kept things simple and used just the die-cuts without added shading or inking to the pieces and pulled in just a few details from other die sets to help build my scene. Check out my supply list and then we’ll get started!

I started by die-cutting and assembling the pieces for the tiny library with the interactive doors. I chose two shades of blue cardstock and vellum for the windows. The assembly is super easy and straightforward. The doors operate with a simple debossed line created while die-cutting the front piece. I scored the line myself too to deepen the debossing before I folded the doors back. Then I die-cut the door frame pieces four times so I could sandwich the vellum between two of them for each door. Before adding all the details inside, I attached the tiny library with liquid adhesive to a piece of Cosmic Blue cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Now it was time for the fun part, adding all the little books and accessories to the shelves inside the library. I stacked some of the books and leaned some of them to create some interest and finished the shelves with a flower vase and a cute little snail.

Next I moved on to finishing the outside of the library. I added the little “hello” sign that’s included with the set and the moon, which I pulled from a Hello Bluebird set. I created a vining flower with the included flower die, wrapping it around the library post, and then added the bookworm and bumblebees. The finishing touch was to add a scattering of stars for this twilight scene.

Thanks again for stopping by to see this charming card I created featuring the Tiny Library die set from this month’s My Monthly Super Hero. Happy crafting!
