Love Like Ours

I hope you're having a great day! My card today features the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection! It's a fresh mix of primary colors in teal, coral, and yellow with a pop of black thrown in for contrast!
Of course Pretty Little Studio has all the extras.. die cuts, frames, borders, tabs, tags, faux stitch clear stickers, word stickers and lots lots more!
I stacked frames to create a focal point and then layered on all the embellishments. I really love clear faux stickers that you can see in these two photos. They add that little extra detail that make this design over the top fun!

You don't need to be a pro at mixing and matching papers. Pretty Little Studio has taken out alot of the work because several of the papers and die cuts are already printed to look like you pieced them together. If you look close you'll see the background paper, and both tags have multiple prints on them already.
I hope you're smiling and that you have a great day! Now go make something!

My Creative Scrapbook March 2026 Main Kit Reveal




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 Echo Park "In Full Bloom" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, a stencil 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 SPRING! The papers are soft pastels with images of flowers, umbrellas, suns, butterflies and more.
I love making a scene card! Just a few wavy cuts with your scissors make green grassy hills against a pattern paper blue sky. I used a punch to cut a few cloud shapes from pattern paper and then went to work embellishing.
This kit has tags, frames and 3x4" journaling cards that are perfect for creating focal points. You'll also find LOTS and LOTS of sentiments including die cuts, chipboard and sticker sentiments.
I love all the sweet little birds because finding migratory birds returning is my favorite part of spring.
Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and gems. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.
You'll have fun making cards or documenting memories with this kit. No matter what your style too. I love to make scene cards, but collage, mixed media, clean and simple, layered..... whatever your style you make this kit yours!
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.

Make A Wish!

Today I'm playing along at Send a Smile For Kids This time they're looking for cards with Animals! Something we should all have in our stash right?
I'm playing along with the Pink and Main Icing on the Cake stamps and die set. These images are super cute and all the pieces you see are included in the set. The coordinating dies make everything easy to cut in a snap!

Because this is a birthday card I wanted a rainbow background! My go to is always blended Distress Oxide for a scene card. The creamy inks blend seamlessly and have a soft finish. A splatter of white ink and a splatter of water really help remove any imperfections from brush strokes that you might find.
I always arrange the die cut images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base to help me decide what goes where. I had a little room at the bottom so I stamped the sentiment there... directly on the inky panel. Some of the images are adhered flat to the base and others are lifted with adhesive foam to add dimension.
I hope you find some time to play along! It's always nice to have a birthday card in your inventory and one for kids is always the best! In fact I know several grown ups that would adore this card!
