My Creative Scrapbook Main Kit November 2026



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 Graphic 45 Merry-ful Greetings 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 papers are traditional red and green with a pop of black for contrast. The prints include plaids, dots, florals, candy stripes, winter scenes and diamonds.
The images are gorgeous and include nutcrackers, florals, decorated trees, presents, ornaments, postage stamps, snowflakes and lots more.
You won't have any trouble finding sentiments in this kit either. There are LOTS. Sentiment tags, die cuts and stickers too!
I like to use 3x4" journaling cards to create focal points. Most cardstock brands have these blank so they're a perfect canvas to embellish. The ones from Graphic 45 are printed and a little "busy" for this purpose so I took some of the lightest paper in the collection and made my own.
Oh and did I mention SNOWMEN? There are lots of these cuties in the kit as well as snowflakes to create beautiful winter scenes.
The kit even includes lots of star and circle shaped gold foam stickers so no sequins required!
Everything you see is included in the kit EXCEPT the card bases, adhesives, solid paper matts and enamel dots. The kit is ideal for documenting memories, papercrafting or cardmaking.
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.

Tasty Snacks Birthday

Thanks for stopping by! I sure hope you're having a great day! I dug up this oldie from Mama Elephant to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She loves Asian culture and has brought lots of treats into the house that I would have never heard of without her.
All of the stamped images are from the Mama Elephant Yummy Treats stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to cut them easily. All that was left was to arrange them on my card base.

I embossed the background panel with the Spellbinders 3D Confetti Drop folder, and added a die cut sentiment. The stamp set did not have any sentiments. The embossing folder and sentiment die are only available in the Spellbinders Just Add Cake Birthday Box.
The finishing touch was a sprinkle of hot pink flat back gems to make this one a party for my daughter! I'm going to fill up a gift bag with a bunch of Tasty Asian Snacks from 5Below, Hello Tokyo, and the International isle at the grocery store.
I'm linking up to Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog where they want you to add some Sparkle and Shine!

Have a great weekend!

Chompster!

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm playing at A Cut Above Challenge Blog where it's Anything Goes as long as you use a die cut!

Have you met Chompster? He's an exclusive die that's included in the Spellbinders Just Add Cake Boxed Kit. The kit is a great value and includes LOTS of goodness.. paper, dies, stamps, and more! Chompster from the kit was so popular that they added some accessory dies.

I added a hat from the Top It Off accessory die set, and a candy bar and braces are from the One More Bite die set.
The background is called Color Block Accent Rectangles. It's a great way to add even more color!
I love that you can personalize this little guy to suit any personality.

Autumn Greetings

If I had to choose a patronus (like Harry Potter) you know.. a mysterious charm conjures a magical guardian, a projection of all your most positive feelings I think it would be a turkey. I sort of feel like they've been associated with me since my birthday is the same week as Thanksgiving and I've been called a turkey lots and lots of times!
These Turkey Friends from Pretty Pink Posh couldn't be any cuter. This set is an upgrade of the older turkey stamp set because it includes three different turkeys in different sizes and lots of accessories perfect for scene making.

I always lay out my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base to help me get a preview of my card design. In this case it was really helpful because it guided me on inking the grass and sky.
The set even includes a few sentiments. I stamped one directly on the inky card base for a fun clean design.

I'm linking up to Crafty Animals Challenge Blog where it's always about ANIMALS!! I hope you find some time to play along!

Halloween Treat Buckets and SALE!

The wait is over! Halloween has arrived! I hope you've got your costume on and a big bowl of treats near the front door!
My card today features Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Treat Buckets. I wanted to fit all four buckets on my card so I decided to break the front panel into quarters using the Rounded Stitch Rectangle dies.
I adhered one bucket over each of the squares and then added a Greetings sentiment banner through the center. The Banner Greetings 4 die set has some new funky cut banners perfect for Halloween Greetings!
The finishing touch was a scatter of treats that are overflowing the buckets and a few sparkly gems!
I'm linking up to Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog where they're looking for Halloween/Fall designs!

All Halloween is on sale at Pretty Pink Posh too!

Scenic Kyoto BetterPress

Today I'm playing at We Love To Create blog challenge where Anything Goes Any Crafter World Wide. I'm playing along with a simple BetterPress Letterpress Plate design from Spellbinders called Scenic Kyoto.
This plate is available with a coloring stencil or can be used "as is" to make a clean letterpress design. If you're not familiar with letterpress its similar to foiling. You use a die cut, ink it and run it through your die cut machine. The ink is pressed into the plate for a elegant feel print. I used cotton paper with Ruby Red ink. If you run your hand across it you can feel the depression in the paper.
I chose red because when I think of Japan I think of their flag, or the red accents on a pagoda. TO make it a little more fussy I added a die cut gold Emerald Cut Label matt.
The finishing touch was a few gold enamel dots, and another matt or deep red to coordinate with the inked impression.
I think CAS is best with a letterpress design because you can make a whole stack of notecards quickly and they have such an elegant look and feel. I hope you find some time to play along.
