Some Cards...

Hello friends! Hope you are all well. Thanks for stopping by! Today I wanted to share some cards. Yes cards. I don't create cards very often because frankly I struggle with such a small amount of space to create and no photo.

I had some leftover scraps of papers and stickers from the My Creative Scrapbook October Creative Kit so I put them to good use. So far I was able to create six layouts and two cards with the kit and still have scraps left. Kits are such a good value!

For this card, I began with a square paper punch and punched out several scraps of patterned paper and cut them in half diagonally and paper pieced a "quilt" design.  

For this card I knew I wanted to use the 3X4 card of the cute little red truck, some leftover ribbon from the kit and the "Fall Blessings" chipboard sticker.

Making these cards were fun! Sometimes a person just has to jump in and create out of their comfort zone. Many times it turns out better than expected.

Thanks for visiting! Have a lovely day!

Some Layouts With The My Creative Scrapbook October Creative Kit

Hello friends! I hope you are having a fabulous Monday so far. I wanted to share six layouts that I created for My Creative Scrapbook with the awesome October Creative Kit. This kit consisted of some beautiful papers, stickers, and die cuts from the gorgeous Carta Bella Hello Fall Collection.

For this layout I used a square paper punch and punched several paper squares and then cut the squares on the diagonal to create triangles. I paper pieced the paper triangles together to create a "quilt" design. I was going for a homespun feel for this family page.

For this layout of my son I was going for a fun, mixed media layout. I used the Heidi Swapp Color Shine in the "Tea" color and splattered ink down the page diagonally. When it was dry and I added the matted photo and placed paper strips, die cuts and chipboard stickers. I was going for a fun, carefree page.

For this page, I used the some free cut files, which are included in the Creative Kit and cut out the title "blessed" with my electronic cutting machine on some of the orange patterned paper and popped it up with some dimensional dots for more dimension. The leaf wreath was also a cut file included with the kit. I cut this onto the orange and brown plaid patterned paper.

For this layout, the paper leaves were drawn freehand and cut out on various patterned papers from the kit. With a bone folder, I folded the leaves, layered them and popped them up with dimensional adhesive behind the photos. I also added some paper confetti that was punched out with my Swiss Cheese Paper Punch. This gives the look of falling leaves.

For this layout I cut paper strips and weaved them diagonally and then matted my photo and added lots of die cuts, chipboard stickers and ribbon. I wanted to create a "lattice" look to this layout to appear like a lattice pie.

Finally, for this layout, I added an inked border with the stencil, included in the kit, and some distress ink and then added some ink splatters. I added lots of paper strips, stickers, chipboard stickers and diecuts for fun, random look.

Well there you have it. These are my six layouts that I created with the fabulous October Creative Kit.
