My Creative Scrapbook February 2025 Main Kit

hanks 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 from Simple Stories "Heartstrings", and Echo Park "Valentine's Day" Collections. You'll also find die cuts, a stamp set, stickers, and lots more! Everything is perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!

The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, adhesives, and enamel dots from my stash. You can incorporate you own favorite gems or sequins to add more sparkle to the designs.

This month's theme is Love and Valentine's Day, but I think these cards would be just about perfect any time of year. I mean who doesn't want to hear that they're loved?

The first thing I do when I get a kit is to sort out the elements. I add baby powder to the backs of the stickers to turn them into die cuts then I match the images I think will work well together.

I arrange the images on clear plastic sheets the size of my card front. This gives me a preview of what the finished card will look like before I commit and adhere everything in place. I can also slide pattern paper under the arrangement to see if my choices work well together.

I had lots of fun mixing and matching papers and images to create these fun colorful cards. I used a few cut apart 3x4" to create focal points and break up the patterns.

I made EIGHT cards with this kit and I even had lots of leftovers that I can use to create gift tags and embellish my planner

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.

Simple Stories Heartstrings, Echo Park Valentine's Day

Fox Holder Hugs

Have you seen the newest addition to the Pretty Pink Posh "holder" die series? It started with the Ghost Holder for Halloween and now this cute little fox! They're called "holders" because the arms are cut away from the body so you can slip something for them to hold in their hands!

The Valentine Holder Die Set includes lots of different holders to place in the fox's arms like This pretty heart and bow that reminded me of the heart shaped boxes my DH used to buy when we were dating.

Other shapes in the set include a balloon, basket, a rose with leaves, hearts and more!

The background is the XOXO Pierced Plate cut from aqua cardstock and topped with a Double Heart Shaker. The HUGS sentiment is included with the fox die set. I added silly eyes to the fox, and a Distress Ink blush on the white cheeks.

I hope you're smiling! Hugs for a great day!  I'm linking up at If You Give A Crafter A Cookie - this time it's all about he hearts!

Valentine Sweet Shoppe

Did you know Poppystamps has a monthly challenge? We love seeing what you're making and if you link up a design from any on line gallery, blog, or Instagram, you're automatically entered for the monthly $20 giveaway!

This month we're looking for something sweet! That could be taken literally - like cake or other treats, or it could be a sweet gesture - making a thank you or a card with a thoughtful gesture! It could even be a Valentine!

Today's card features the Corner Shoppe Pop Up Easel Die. It's easy to customize the store front by switching up the colors and adding different images in the windows. For my "something sweet" it's a bakery with cupcakes from the Corner Shoppe Dessert Stand in the window!

I cut the awning in shades of pink and white and added little hearts cut from the Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame A2 die. I always try to get more from my dies, and if you have a die with yummy negative cutouts don't throw them out! I save them in a little envelope and tuck it into the sleeve that holds the die!

I love the little Nordic Sweet Elf and this guy is not getting put away because the holidays are over. Simply by switching out his outfit color, he's transformed into a Valentine Elf! I added a little color to his cheeks with an alcohol marker.

A sentiment is stamped directly inside the card so when it's displayed everyone can read the message!

I sure hope you find some time to play along this month! You can always find the latest challenge by clicking on the badge in the top right corner of the Poppystamps blog! Hugs and have a great day!
