Spring Wreath Wedding Congrats!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a beautiful day! Today I’m sharing a card made with the beautiful new Leafy Spring Wreath! This set features a leafy wreath with lots of pretty embellishments including flowers, Easter eggs, little birds and a beautiful bow!

I like to reimagine my stamps and dies and imagine different ways to use them. Just because this set has “Spring” in it’s name doesn’t mean that’s the only time I can use it. I saw those little birds and immediately my mind went to weddings!

Pretty Pink Posh has a fabulous assortment of stitched border dies too. But why do they have to be just for borders? I like to use the Stacked Edges and Stitched Strips dies to create smooth flat backgrounds. I have more than one of each of the border die sets so I can cut several at a time. I always save the extras for other projects.

I love the clean line designs from Pretty Pink Posh because they’re ideal for every media type I can think of. I’m not an “expert” at coloring so I like to color the petals and leaves in different shades of color to give a stained glass look with lots of contrast.

I’m smiling because this card was made with something old (the older release dies), something new (the new Leafy Spring Wreath), something borrowed (my daughter’s markers), and something blue (all those fabulous stripes)! I'm playing at Shopping Our Stash where this time they want you to color something with your favorite media - mine is Copic Markers!

I know... they're expensive. But if you color as much as I do you can't beat the value of being able to buy ink refills. One refill will recharge your marker at least 10 times. The color match is perfect and I only have to buy refills of the colors I need.

Sending Lots of Love

Today I'm playing along at Crazy is our Fame Stencils are Our Game! Challenge. Stencils aren't just for backgrounds anymore! Today You'll find lots of them for coloring your stamped images like the one I'm using today from Waffle Flower!

My card starts with a Heart Frame cut from white cardstock. I topped the center with a die cut stitched rectangle of red cardstock.

I stamped the Sketched Rose and then inked it with the coordinating stencil and Distress Inks. The rose is also available as a hot foil die so you can elevate this design to elegant shiny foil super easy.

The coordinating die cuts both the stamp and the foil die because the design on both is exactly the same.

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and then cut it into a simple strip to complete the design.

Have a great day and keep smiling!

My Creative Scrapbook September 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 paper 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 working with the September Main Kit. This kit includes die cuts, cut aparts, and premium 12" papers from the Pretty Little Studio Hey Summer! Collection. You'll also find foam stickers from Simple Stories, a Vicki Boutin stencil all celebrating this month's theme.... SUMMER!

The paper prints include florals, rainbows, stripes (think beach towels), plaid, sand dollars, and script. The colors include the rainbow in muted shades.

This kit includes lots of sentiments and labels so you'll want to make some of them the center of attention. I topped a circle label with a rounded edge strip label on the card below.

And if you can't get away.... there's nothing wrong with a staycation. Hopefully you know someone who has a pool.

I added some die cut frames to make shakers and focal points for my cards. This frame topped with a foam sentiment over patterned paper is simple yet fussy at the same time.

I love all the accessory images that almost make me hear the ocean calling - flip flops, bathing suits, sunscreen, lemonade and seashells too.

These cards were made with everything that you see in the kit photo. The only things I've added are the card bases, solid cardstock (for background mats), enamel dots, adhesives and envelopes. I also added the fame die cut on the shaker card above.

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.
