Welcome Little One

I'm so excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Hexagons stamp set with coordinating dies. This set is so versatile and I love that it's not for any specific holiday because I know I'll be reaching for it throughout the year!
The set includes four different size hexagons, a solid stamp for each size, and two different patterns for each size. You can stamp the hexagon out line and solid and stop there, or add different patterns them.
For this card I stamped and cut several hexagons and then assembled them to create a solid panel. Along the seam of the solid and hex panels I added a Stitched Strip and one of the new Bow die cuts.
This card is clean and simple looking but packs a punch with lots of colorful hexagons.
For my second card I stamped and cut the Decorative Hexagons in different sizes and arranged them on a clean white panel in a random order trying to fill as much space as possible. When I trimmed the pieces outside the edge of the card I was able to save some of the pieces to fill in smaller white spaces.
To create a focal point I topped the panel with a large vellum Eyelet Circle and then added a smaller white one over that. The sentiment is from Baby Basics.
I added a Baby Rattle die that I turned into a shaker. YES! That's a new glass bead mix called Spring Breeze. The little duckie and safety pin are from the new Baby Mug Additions die set.
I think these Decorative Hexagons are going to look amazing on holiday cards. A simple switch of color will make them perfect for any occasion!

I'm linking up at Cupcake Inspirations where this is the inspiration photo for this time!

I hope you find some time to play!

BeYOUtifully You!

I'm sending you a little sunshine today with the Pretty Little Studio Good Vibrations Collection! I love the bright prints that include rainbow stripes, stars, hearts and funky florals!
My card starts with a split pattern paper background that's topped with a journaling card to create a focal point.
I added a fun mixed font sentiment and embellished it with flowers and hearts. Some of the hearts are adhered flat to the card while others are raised with adhesive foam. This adds dimension and more interest to the finished card.
The finishing touch was a sprinkle of black sequins from my stash. These match well with the collection papers that also have lots of black accents throughout.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find some time to make today!

My Creative Scrapbook May 2024 Creative 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 paper 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 creative kit! This time the papers are from Bella Blvd. "Just Because" collection. You'll also find a sticker sheet, die cuts, a stamp set and a free downloadable digi die for your electronic cutter.
I love the pretty colors in this collection including one of my favorites.. purple.. that I think is so under used. You'll find pretty prints in woodgrain, stripes, gingham, floral, clouds and more.
I love the sweet spring images.. birds, florals, and this cutie bunny on it's bicycle. There's even a few hedge hogs. The images are great for making scene cards that are sure to bring smiles.
I cut "waves" in pattern paper to create wavy hills for scenes. Dots and other prints make great backgrounds. I cut a few yellow "suns" using a circle paper punch with yellow cardstock.
I like to arrange images on clear plastic the size of my card base to help me decide what to put where before I commit and adhere images in place.
The sticker sheet has lots of great images. I apply powder (baby powder or cornstarch - whatever you have handy) to the sticky backs to make them manageable until I'm ready to adhere them with liquid adhesive.
This kit comes with everything you see. The only items I have added are the card bases and envelopes, solid paper card mats, adhesives and enamel dots from my stash.
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.
