Jillibean Soup - Layering with Peapod Parts

Thanks for stopping by! Today and I’m going to share some of my favorite ways to add Jillibean Soup Pea Pod Parts die cut images to card layouts. I’m playing with the Spoonful of Soul Collection but these techniques will work with any of your favorite Jillibean Soup Collections.

I love playing with the Pea Pod Parts die cut images. They’re printed, die cut and perfectly coordinated to color match the papers in each collection. I usually sort them into groups like sentiments, flowers, hearts etc.

On this card I arranged the Pea Pod Parts in a collage style. I started with the large embroidery hoop and topped it with the Happy word sentiment. Next I added other images with a stitched edges to compliment the hoop. I like to arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card front. This helps me work out the arrangement before I commit and adhere them.

Another great way to arrange your Pea Pod Parts is to create a scene. Pattern paper cut with a few curves makes a grassy park. A few buildings tucked behind the hill and a starry sky set the scene for the bicycle surrounded by flowers. It looks like a beautiful day! 

How about making a sentiment the focus of attention and surrounding it with florals, hearts or other Pea Pod Parts images adhered with adhesive foam tape? This adds dimension and makes your cards look elegant and impressive. 

These are only a few ideas for you to try, the possibilities are endless and they’ll all leave you smiling!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - Best Summer Ever

It's the last day of the month and you know what that means right? It's time for The 12 Kits of Occasions! The 12 Kits of Occasions is a group of 12 friends who all love to paper craft. Every month we take turns making a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit with the same items. On the last day of the month we reveal what we each made with the kit. It's fun to see how we used the product in different ways. Sometimes the projects are similar and sometimes they are very different.

Our hostess with the mostest this month is Marybeth Lopez from Marybeth's Time For Paper! She put together a "Best Summer Ever" kit filled with sunshine! There are pretty papers from Echo Park, Stamped images from The Greetery, Concord & 9th and Altenew.. and Die cuts from Poppystamps!

Marybeth's style is clean and classy and there's always a touch of glimmer. She gets all the credit for hooking me on crisp stitched die cuts and SEQUINS! I'm blessed to call her friend! She's an angel in my life.

These cards came together quick - just like she said they would!

Momenta Thanks A Bunch Mason Jar

Thanks so much for stopping by! Today I'm playing with the Momenta Thanks A Bunch Die. This die is so pretty! A mason jar filled with a bouquet of florals, and there's even a message written on the jar! 

I cut the die from watercolor paper and painted it with watercolors. When it was dry I layered it over a second die cut from white card stock. I added a few white inlay pieces to help define the different florals and give the die cut a cleaner look. 

The assembled die cut is adhered to a panel that was inked with distress ink, and then inked again in a darker shade using the Momenta Chevron Adhesive Stencil. I love that the stencil has a repositionable sticky coating so the stencil stays in place and the inking is always clean. 

You can find these and other Momenta craft products at your favorite local store like Hobby Lobby! They have lots of dies, embossing and stamp sets to choose from so you can see what you're getting before you buy. If you love to shop on line like me you'll find them at Scrapbook.com
