My Creative Scrapbook July 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 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 Album kit. To show you that the kit can be used for more than albums I've created some travel themed greeting cards.

I'm always ready for a change of scenery! I love a road trip and exploring new places! These images have me itching for an adventure.

Whenever I travel I have to have a camera with me - even if it's just my cell phone. I love snapping photos of exotic flowers that I can't find at home as well as any other fascinating things I might stumble upon.

The colors in this collection are bright bold and beautiful and absolutely a feast for the eyes!

The mix of images in this kit translate well for projects related to visits to exotic places as well as a trip to the city. We've got planes, trains and automobiles covered as well as a fun sea cruise!

So grab your cuppa joe, travel map and passport because this kit is awesome!

This kit comes with everything you see. The only items I have added are the card bases and envelopes, solid paper card mats, 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.

Welcome Little One

Today I'm playing along at Crazy is our Fame - Stencils Are Our Game. As always you are to include a stencil on your design and this time it's optional shades of blue. I thought I'd make a baby card since I'm a little short on those in my stash!

I always lay out my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This helps me figure out what will go where and it makes it easy to slide a background underneath to get a preview of the finished design.

These images are from the Pretty Pink Posh Baby Basics stamp set. The stripes on the onsie are actually stamped on. All the other image colors are Copic Alcohol Markers.

The background is a Eyelet Rectangle that I masked with washi tape. I stenciled the inside of the stitched rectangle with a Fancy Lattice in soft blue. It reminds me of a baby blanket - just perfect for my design.

A few gems add a little sparkle to the design for the new Mom! I hope you find some time to play along!

Wooden Flower Cart

Hi friends! You know I love die cuts and I am so happy to be a member of the Poppystamps design team. Poppystamps is a sister company to Memory Box and their dies never disappoint.

I used a few sets to create this scene card that focuses on the Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart. The cart comes with two buckets that I filled with florals from the Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die set.

I wanted to show you how I create. I arrange images on a piece of plastic the size of my card base. This allows me to move things around until I'm happy with the configuration, and it's easy to slide different backgrounds under the plastic for a sneak peek.

The background is a simple Distress Ink Blend to create a sunny sky. The sun is a stack of two circles, one from the Nordic Pattern Rings, and the other from the Scallop Pinpoint Rings.

I added some party banners and butterflies to finish the card. The banners come with a solid die and separate cut out banners so you can make the flags whatever color you like.

Poppystamps has a monthly challenge that starts on the first of every month. This month's challenge is called Good Day Sunshine and I thought this card would be perfect. I hope you'll check out the challenge and that you find some time to play today!!
