My Creative Scrapbook July 2025 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 Vicki Boutin "Cut & Paste" Collection as well as a few others to surprise you. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, chipboard, and lots more! Everything is perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!

This collection just screams Summer! The colors are bright and bold - think primary colors with added details in black for just the right amount of drama and contrast.

The kit has lots of different elements that I like to pair together. The animals, trees and clouds make great scene cards. A simple wave cut from green pattern paper becomes a hilly landscape, and blue print a sky.

Don't have a sun? Improvise like I did with a yellow flower! Sky doesn't need to be blue and grass doesn't need to be green.. use your imagination and see the world in your own unique way!

As a card maker I always start by cutting the papers down to 6x6" square that are more manageable for me. I like to keep the decorative edge attached (see the hearts on top of the stripes above as an example) whenever possible so I can use it on my designs. It looks like I coordinated it, but it was printed this way! The trim also makes great faux washi!

I like to use journaling cards and scraps of paper to make focal points so the die cut designs don't fade into the background when the patterns get busy.

I arrange the images on clear plastic sheets the size of my card front. This gives me a preview of what the finished card will look like before I commit and adhere everything in place. I can also slide pattern paper under the arrangement to see if my choices work well together.

The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, and adhesives. This time my kit included some sequins and buttons too that you'll see scattered throughout my designs.

The bright colorful designs in this kit are a feast for the eyes, but my favorite part was not having to go shopping. My Creative Scrapbook selects and assembles all the items and ships them straight to my door so all I need to do is make!

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.

All cards finished size: 4.25 x 5.5"
