Layle By Mail Postcards & Passports Collection

Today I'm playing with the Layle By Mail Postcards & Passports collection. If you're on the go and like to see it all this collection is for you.
It doesn't matter if you like to road trip or if you're jet set this collection has you covered.
You'll find pretty papers with cool prints like geo tags, luggage, airplanes, stamps and more like dots, stripes, and words too!
Everything you see on my cards is from the collection with the exception of the card baes, adhesives, twine, solid cardstock and gems from my stash.
I'm linking up to Daisy Chain Challenges where they want you to LAYER IT UP!
Here's a trio of the cards taken together so you can see the variety of the designs.
Whether you like to document or make cards like me you'll have fun with this collection!

My Creative Scrapbook May 2026 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 playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Simple Stories "Pink Lemonade" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
The theme this month is summer inspired.. think butterflies and flowers, as well as refreshing lemons, strawberries and cool drinks.
The papers in this kit are plaids, gingham, dots, and florals in rainbow colors of Red, Pink, Creamy Orange, Yellow, Green and Aqua. There's a pop of black in accents and sentiments that adds great contrast.
I had fun arranging the different elements. I usually group them together to fit a common theme - like the card above I wanted to look like butterflies in a meadow, and the card below with the fresh lemons and the pitcher of lemonade.
When I have my layout decided I'll try to go in and add a few more pieces like the flowers and the butterfly on this card.
Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and enamel dots. 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. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

I'm linking to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where it's anything goes with an optional fancy fold.

Sending Sunshine!

Can you believe it's Monday already? Where did the weekend go? We spent time at my Mom's for Mother's Day. And got a few projects accomplished for her as well. She's having therapy and needs a few changes to accommodate her mobility. Today I'm playing along at Dragonfly Dreams where they want you to use a die cut this time.
This one is almost entirely die cuts. Starting with the Dashed Diamond Texture background that I cut from white cardstock and then inked with Distress.

Next I cut and assembled the Floral Shelf die and then added vases and flowers (all the dies are in the same set.).

The finishing touch was the bitty Butterfly Duo and some enamel dots for flower centers!
I hope you have a great week with lots of time for what you love best!
