Fly a Kite and May Kits Sneaks

Hey everyone! I have been at it again, playing with Scraptastic Club's April Worth Wondering Kit and Add-on. Today's card was totally inspired by the American Crafts DIY Shop burlap bows in the add-on.


As soon as I saw the bows, I knew they would be perfect for the tail of a kite. I die cut the kite (and clouds), added a little stitching and then added a Teresa Collins Butterfly Sticker and My Mind's Eye Hello enamel heart to the top of the kite.


And I added those darling burlap bow to the string of the kite and finished the card with a sweet Girl Talk Snap Caps sentiment from October Afternoon.


Perfect for spring, don't you think?!

Now, for the Scraptastic Club May Sneaks!

A Stamping Challenge

Hey everyone! Lea Lawson and I have a challenge for you up on the Scraptastic Club blog today: Create a Miss You card using stamps from one of the April Scraptastic Club kits.

I don't consider myself a stamper, so it really was a challenge for me. ;) I kept the stamping simple and added a sentiment from the Let Me Go stamp set to one of the Evalicious Snip Labels in the Worth Wondering Add-on, and then layered it onto products from the Worth Wondering Kit and Add-on.



Don't you just love that sentiment?!

You can check out Lea's take on the challenge HERE.

Hope you get a chance to play along. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Banner Love

Hey, everyone! I thought I would stop by and share some recent projects with you.

This month, Scraptastic Club has put together some truly amazing kits. I received the Worth Wondering kit and add-on to work with, and I have to say I am in love! The kits are filled with some amazing product, and I was instantly inspired by the pennants and banners in the kit. With them, I created two cards.

First up, Forever and Always:


I stitched across the top a few of the Teresa Collins Daily Stories pennant stickers and a one of the October Afternoon Girl Talk Snap Caps to create a banner as an accent along the top of my card.


I finished the card by adding a couple of Cork Butterflies and enamel hearts, a die cut, and a sentiment sticker along the bottom.


Next, Crazy in Love:


For this card, I made the banner the focal point of my card. I strung together a couple of the Cork Banners, the "Crazy in Love" die cut, a Teresa Collins Daily Stories ticket sticker and an Evalicious Puffy Sticker on a length of navy baker's twine, then added a few embellishments to the banners.


I love the fact that the pieces of the banner are different sizes and shapes. It gives a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

You can see my cards HERE on the Scraptastic Club blog and while you're there, make sure to check out what the rest of the design is up to using this month's kits.
