My Creative Scrapbook January 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 working with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers from Simple Stories "Front Porch" and Bo Bunny "Once Upon A Lifetime" 12" Collections, and loads of embellishments including die cuts from chipboard, stickers, a Thickers alphabet set, a big die cut sentiment, and a stamp set too!

I love the mix of colors and prints in this set. Every month the kit is different but rest assured that each pack is hand selected to coordinate all of the elements and embellishments beautifully.

This time the theme is HOME - our favorite happy place. The embellishments include familiar household objects.. stacks of books, coffee cups, rocking chairs and OH MY!! the most beautiful florals ever!

My favorite pieces in this set are all of the little birds! They're perfect for perching here and there, and being a bird watcher - just make me so happy!

The kit includes lots of sentiments too - I like using the strip sentiments on the 12" sticker sheet. The same sheet also has a few 12" border stickers. I add baby powder to the back of the stickers so I can cut them to size or move them around without damaging them and accidentally sticking them in place.

The it 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.

It was fun mixing and matching papers and creating layouts with this kit and I look forward to making with it every month! I had lots left over paper and embellishments when I was done so I can make some tags and embellish my day planner too!

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.

Pink & Main Instagram Hop & Giveaway!

The Pink & Main January release is here! There are adorable new goodies for your spring and Easter cards, with new stamps, dies, embellishments, and fun things to foil - some with coordinating stencils, too!

And since it’s January, we are introducing our new monthly series for 2025! This is the new January Mouse. This is a small stamp set that includes the mouse, chick, two eggs, butterfly and a few sentiments.

The light pink background has been dry embossed with a basket pattern. I topped that with the new Stitched Oblong Oval. This is a nested set and you can cut as many or as few as you like. I wanted to repeat the stripe pattern on the eggs so I did three layers in colored cardstock.

I added a twine bow along the top to look like it might be holding up the sentiment strip, and little butterflies flit about. Do you love those pink gems? They're new too!

Are you ready to see more made with this new release?

A Ray of Sunshine

I don't know about you, but I'm in need of a sweet escape from these cold winter days! I found a rainbow in the Pretty Little Studio You Are My Sunshine Collection!

The rainbow papers are gorgeous but don't forget the packaging! This color wheel was printed on the insert paper in a die cut pack! I love that I can use the packaging papers in my designs and that it reduces waste in the environment.

I added embellishments in black to add some contrast to the design and help them stand out against the rainbow background.

   

The flowers and butterflies are adhered with adhesive foam tape to make them "pop:" off the background and add dimension.

If you're starting to feel the winter blues, I invite you to explore the different paper collections from Pretty Little Studio. I'm sure you'll find something that makes your heart smile!
