Wish You Were Here

Today I'm playing at A Cut Above where June is Anything Goes! I'm sharing a card made with lots of NEW from Pretty Pink Posh!  Summer is here and I'm thinking a trip to the beach might just be the thing go cool off!!

I started by making the Sand Bucket Shaker. I filled it with glass beads from the new Paradise mix. They're shades of pink and orange and totally yummy.

Next I added some seaweed and a few seashells. The background is the new Pierced Chevron Cover Plate. The sandy hills are from the Shoreline Borders die set that are perfect for beachy dunes or watery waves. I cut the sand from kraft cardstock and ten added some Distress ink shading and splatter.

The sentiment is from the new Beach Fun stamp set. The coordinating die set fussy cuts the fun sentiments.

Makes you want to hit the beach doesn't it? LOL!

My Creative Scrapbook June 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 Paige Evans "Happy Haven" and Echo Park's "Life Is Beautiful" 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!

The kit this time is a walk in the garden. You'll find floral prints, images of butterflies, birds, and even ladybugs! I love the frames that are perfect for creating focal points on your designs.

The colors are a rainbow of muted colors - think soft lilac, baby blue, pinks and yellows - with a pop of dark navy and fuchsia for a little drama!

The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, adhesives, and enamel dots from my stash. You can incorporate you own favorite gems or sequins to add more sparkle to the designs.

This kit has lots of embellishments! I coat the stickers and adhesive chipboard pieces with baby powder to turn them into die cuts that I can move around without worrying about sticking them in the wrong place by accident. When I'm ready I adhere them with liquid adhesive.

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.

I had lots of fun arranging the papers and elements. A simple trick to layers is to try to break up the patterns with solids, or to stack dark over light.

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.

Pretty Pink Posh Instagram Hop & Giveaway!

It's a great day for a visit because Pretty Pink Posh is having an Instagram Hop showing samples of new release products and giving away some gift certificates too!

I love the Icon Series from Pretty Pink Posh. Each mini set includes 12 little images that represent the season or holiday they represent. The coordinating die set includes the cuts for the 12 min images as well as some shape dies for stacking and adding layers to your designs.

I colored the images with alcohol markers and then stacked them on circle and sun shaped die cuts from the coordinating die set. They were easy to color and are great for adding embellishments to your other projects.

The background is the new Chevrons Pierced Panel that I added a Summer Script word die cut in black and a Sentiment Strip Summer to complete the sentiment. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of gems for a little shine.

And now the part you've been waiting for...
