Hi friends we are creating mix media with Michele our designer using the July limited edition kit.
Let's watch her video to see how she created this beautiful layout.
Welcome back, y’all! It’s Jinny here today. When I last posted over here on the blog, I was under the assumption that it would be my last. So, I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am to be back this month! I so appreciate the warm welcome and am having such fun showing off these kits for y’all! I hope that you’re having just as much fun playing with them! This month’s July Creative Kit is packed to the brim with goodies from Simple Stories’ Summer Snapshots Collection, paired with a fabulous assortment of ribbons; perfectly-coordinated, white cardstock, die-cut sun; fantastic, wave stencil; and 12x12 sheet of playful, American Crafts, glitter cardstock, the latter two of which I’ve chosen to highlight in today’s post. So, let’s jump right in!
I started this layout by smudging Faded Jeans Distress Ink, through the given wave stencil, onto a sheet of textured, white cardstock from my stash. It was a little tricky matching up the waves to enlarge the canvas; but turning the stencil upside down, got the job done. I then splattered it with water, as well as Titanium White, acrylic paint, to give it more of the look of white-washed, foamy waves. Once it was dry, I cut a large circle in the center of the glitter cardstock (I simply used a bowl as a template.) and attached it, as a frame around the stenciled cardstock, with silver-threaded, straight, machine stitches. That set the stage for my photos, which I decided to also cut in the shape of circles, matted with white cardstock. I then dove deep into the Summer Snapshots Collection for my embellishments. These darling seagulls had me at hello.
This “HITTIN’ THE BEACH” phrase was cut in the shape of a circle and anchored with more silver-threaded, straight, machine stitching, topped with a sweet, little, camera tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow.
I combined cardstock stickers and die cuts, popped up with layers of foam tape, to create this scene.
A couple more die cuts…
bring us to the first chipboard element. I love that this lone seagull highlights that glitter cardstock so well. It reminds me so much of sand.
A trio of cardstock sticker phrases…
and more of those chipboard stickers to spell out the word “summer”, right along the rounded stitching, as well as an “a summer of fun” die-cut title, complete the look.
Just in case you missed them, here are a few more projects that I created using the July Creative Kit; and when I said above that this kit was packed, I meant packed! I still have so much left to inspire me all through the summer months ahead.
Thanks so much for visiting today, My Creative Scrapbook friends! I cannot wait to see what y’all cook up with this month’s kit(s)! Be sure to stop by the blog, as well as our Design Team Gallery, for lots more fabulous inspiration; and have fun getting creative. Be blessed!
ello,
It’s Claire here today, creating with the July 2025 Main Kit which is bursting with possibilities!
To create my layout, I started with a sheet of plain white cardstock and the stamps included in the Main kit. I adore these stamps!! There are so many different backgrounds and accents you can create using these, and here, I’ve created a huge burst of colour! And the best bit? There’s no mess like there would be using other forms of wet mixed media!
I opted for the big ink splash stamp, and selected three Distress Oxides to reflect the colours in the collection (one pink, one yellow and one blue).
Starting with the lightest colour first, I began stamping, layering one stamped image on top of the other before adding in additional layers with each colour.
I knew my design would sit in the middle of the page, so layered the ink on either side, creating a circular shape which would frame my design.
I fussy cut the beautiful scalloped paper, and added these vertically to my page raising on foam for dimension and adding black Nuvo Drops down the centre of each to help the colours pop.
I mounted my photos with the aqua patterned paper and adhered these to the centre of the scalloped strips, again raising on foam for dimension.
As the colours and patterns are very vivid, I kept my embellishing fairly minimal, adding a small pink tag and vellum sun to the right of my photo and a small cluster to the bottom left of my photo.
To echo the black Nuvo Drops, I selected a vellum statement for my title. I adhered this with some liquid glue, allowing it to sit proud across my two photos.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this blog post and it’s given you some inspiration on how you can add real impact to your projects using stamps.
Enjoy creating with these beautiful kits from My Creative Scrapbook, and remember to share your projects and tag us on social media – we love to see what you create!
Happy scrapping!
