A Few Cards

Hello! Just quickly popping in with a few cards...

It has been busy, busy here with all of life's happenings and preparing for the July kits reveal at My Creative Scrapbook.  I can't share those projects yet, but it won't be much longer... sneaks will be up on July 1st both here on my blog and on the My Creative Scrapbook blog.

In the meantime here are some cards:

This card was made with the gorgeous Isabella collection from BoBunny along with a pretty Prima flower. These colors will always be a favorite for me!

Another BoBunny collection here- the bright and cheerful Alora. The sentiment stamp is from Verve.

Lots of American Crafts goodies on this one: Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic papers, stickers, and burlap bow along with a Flower Shoppe layered flower and a clothespin.

I will be back on the 1st with some sneaks!

More American Crafts Mayberry: My Creative Scrapbook June Main Kit

Today I have another My Creative Scrapbook June Main kit layout to share featuring the super pretty, summer-filled American Crafts Mayberry collection.

I wanted the pretty scalloped circle background paper to really stand out, so I kept all of my paper layering inside of it and underneath the photo.

I added a bit of masking above and below for some subtle texture and interest. Sigh, I have quickly become quite a fan of this technique... I wonder if my husband will notice new mask purchases here and there :)

Just for fun I dabbed this golden yellow flower with some Gesso.

Here's a photo of the June Main kit:

As you can see this beautiful kit contains several patterned papers, an accent and phrase sticker sheet, a 52-piece chipboard set, a 24-piece die cut shapes pack, Flower Shoppe flowers, a set of Dear lizzy ribbons plus sheer white ribbon, and Thickers!

For information on purchasing any of My Creative Scrapbook's monthly kits, please visit the website, here. Now would be a really great time to sign up- brand new CHA products will be coming soon!

If you decide to purchase a kit, it would be really awesome if you would let Pam know that I sent you :)

Candy Jar, Gift Bag, & Pillow Box

Well it was 107 degrees yesterday, so leaving the house was definitely not on my to-do list.

Instead I sat down with my American Crafts Mayberry leftovers from the My Creative Scrapbook June Main kit, some kraft cardstock, and a few extra goodies and got to work creating some gift items.

So first I have this candy jar filled with sweet treats.

I think this would be a fun teacher gift!

Next is an altered gift bag.

I made a pillow box, too.

So now I have 3 sweet teacher gift items prepared- I just need to decide if they should be gifted individually or as a set... what do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

My Creative Scrapbook June Main Kit: American Crafts Mayberry

The Main kit at My Creative Scrapbook this month features the really lovely Mayberry collection from American Crafts.

This beautiful kit contains several patterned papers, an accent and phrase sticker sheet, a 52-piece chipboard set, a 24-piece die cut shapes pack, Flower Shoppe flowers, a set of Dear lizzy ribbons plus sheer white ribbon, and of course, Thickers!

I made three layouts with the kit and easily have enough to create another and some cards. Here's one of the layouts:

My friend Delaina has turned me on to using modeling paste and masks. It adds beautiful texture and interest with very little effort. Just a little mask work here and there goes a long way.

I touched the edges of the flower petals with some Gesso and then some Stickles to dress them up a bit.

Here's a photo of the June Main kit:
