Today I’ve got a Life is Sweet project share. These are the projects I created using the rest of the June 2024 Life is Sweet Paper Pumpkin kit. When I get my kit I always create one of each of the projects that are intended and then I go live and create a scrapbook layout. If you missed that post, you’ll find it here.
After that I’ll usually spend a couple more hours creating with the leftover contents of the kit. That’s what I’ll be sharing with you today.
Hello Summer Layout
First up is this 2-page scrapbook layout. It looks a little plain at the moment but I think once photos are added it’ll be nice. I kept a lot of the elements the same as the cards. The additional supplies that I used for this one are as follows:
- Stamps & Dies: Citrus Blooms stamp set; Alphabet a la Mode Dies (SUMMER); Greetings of the Season Dies (tag)
- Card Stock: Shy Shamrock and Basic White 12×12; Lemon Lolly; Peach Pie and Early Espresso
- Inks: Lemon Lolly
- Eyelet Embossing Folder
The Cards
For this first card, I scored the 1/2 label shape at 1/2″ and used it to create a little flap that tucks in under the bottom circle to create a type of buckle. The circles were cut using an embossed piece of white card stock from my scrap bin using the Stylish Shapes dies.
This is what it looks like open.
The next card is also a bit of a fun fold. I’m calling it a latching gate fold card. I’ll be sharing a video on how to make this type of fold next week.
This next card is my favourite!
For this one I used the last of my card bases and leftover pieces. I just love how the little cluster came together and the glittering ‘congrats’ adds just the right amount of sparkle!
The last card I made, is a 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ card. I had a piece of the blue card base left that was almost square so I decided to create a square card. When I created this one, I didn’t have any of the die cut elements left so I pulled in the coordinating Citrus Blooms stamp set and coloured one of the images to match. The image was coloured using the Stampin’ Blends, which I also used to create the ombre ‘thanks’.
