Heartwarming

Sending you sunshine today with this bright yellow beauty of a card made with the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection.
I started with a mix of yellow background papers and topped them with a yellow outlined banner shaped journaling card that I embellished with beautiful florals.
I embellished the design with a small sticker sentiment along the bottom and a yellow ticket die cut along the top. This collection has lots of extras too! I love the little colorful butterflies that are perfect paired with the florals in the collection.
One of my favorite embellishments is the faux stitch clear stickers. The clear background on the sticker lets the pattern paper peek through behind the stitches.
Wishing you a beautiful sunny day!

My Creative Scrapbook October 2025 Main Kit



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Bella Blvd. "Documented" Collection as well as a few others to surprise you. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
The theme this time is school/home office/journaling - think about ways you'd document the events of the day or things you'd like to get done. You'll find images of pens, typewriters, clipboards. cameras, and lots of the little accessories that make your home office or keeping organized fun.
The colors are bright and cheery with lots of attention to detail. The paperclips have little bows, the cameras have fun prints, and it really just has a happy vibe.
I cut sentiments from journaling cards and some of the paper prints including the sheet of labels or the sheet of borders with repeating prints and sentiments.
There are several notebook page images that I used as focal points for the designs. I made some faux washi by cutting thin strips of prints and adhering them the way that I would tape.

Many of the images I adhere with adhesive foam tape to add dimension to the design and make the layers more obvious.
The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, gems and adhesives.
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

Waffle Flower October Release and Giveaway !

Oh Happy Day! The new Waffle Flower Release is available in the store! We're calling this release Sweet Gathering because it's all about celebrating the occasions that we get together to celebrate.. think birthdays, and of course Thanksgiving!
I've shown you lots of die cut/stenciled designs over the past three days, but did I mention that there are some new Postage Collage designs as well? This one is called Autumn Sunset. It's a stamp set that creates silhouettes of fall images.
I made the colorful background with all over sticky paper. I cut the waves by hand and then inked them with Distress Ink. The Postage Collage Coloring Stencil frames out each stamp and protects the borders from ink.

To add a little more detail to the design I added a gold glitter paper Postage Collage Blocks die under the Postage Collage Stamps die. The gold peeks through the open holes. The bottom layer is just an inked A2 Piercing Layers die cut. I inked it randomly in the same colors as the waves in the background.
The sentiment is from the Grateful Heart Sentiment stamp set. It is a beautiful mixed font with thankful, grateful, blessed heartfelt sentiments.
And now the part you've been waiting for!
