Studio Calico July Kits: Matthew, Jennifer, & Molly

 

  How's it going!?

 

I'm here today with two more cards that I created with the new VALLEY HIGH Studio Calico kits!  

 

The kits are AVAILABLE NOW and it looks like all of the add-ons are also still available- now is a great time to pick up some of these awesome kits!

 

 

The scrapbook add-ons were all so pretty this month- I was super excited to play with these pretty pieces! Here are some cards I made using the add-ons Matthew, Jennifer, and Molly- and some digital stuff, too!

 

 

I love to play with the digital stamps, especially when I'm not able to pick up the whole kits that include those stamps! For this card, I started with some digital stamp brushes- the notebook paper from the Valley High Digital Scrapbook Stamps and then added the super fun coffee from the Valley High Digital Project Life Stamps. I added some layers of paper from Scrapbook Add-on 1: Matthew and Scrapbook Add-on 2: Jennifer. I framed the whole card front with a sheet of paper from the Valley High Card Kit. The sweet cabochon and sequins are from Scrapbook Add-on 3: Molly.

 

 

 

The Valley High Circle Web digital cut design is SO MUCH FUN- I couldn't wait to create this card! I started by cutting the cut file out using four different sheets of patterned paper. Then I opened the cut design in Silhouette Studio and deleted some of the interior cuts, making the white circle design a little more bold. I pieced in the pieces from the patterned paper cuts like a puzzle! It was so fun to see it come together!

 

I created the sentiment with the adorable Junebug Thickers included in Add-on 3: Molly- the OA buttons are really fun, too!

Studio Calico July Kits: Card Kit Add-on: Corey

  Hey!

 

I'm here today to share a couple more cards that I created with the new VALLEY HIGH Studio Calico kits!  

 

The kits are AVAILABLE NOW and it looks like all of the add-ons are also still available- now is a great time to pick up some of these awesome kits!

 

 

 

Here are the cards I made with the Card Kit Add-on: COREY! This is by far my favorite kit this month- love every element included!

 

This woodgrain paper is my absolute FAVORITE paper that I got this month! I knew I wanted to make a card where the paper really stood out and shined- so I kept this one super simple! I created a simple grid with the wood veneer asterisk accents, leaving a small space for the sentiment. I added the sentiment and some quick ribbon loops on the edge!

 

These sweet birds just stole my heart- one of my favorite stamps of all time! I couldn't resist stamping them together to create this fun, flirty sentiment!

 

I adhered the flat sequins from the Corey kit in a new way- rather than adhering the back side of the sequins, I laid them out and added drops of Glossy Accents on top of the sequins. It worked to adhere the sequins to my card and also created a fun dimensional on top of the sequins!

Studio Calico July Kits- Valley High Card Kit

Hiya!

 

I'm here today to share my projects created with the new VALLEY HIGH Studio Calico kits!  

 

The kits are AVAILABLE NOW and it looks like all of the add-ons are also still available- now is a great time to pick up some of these awesome kits!

 

 

 

First, I'll show you what I created with the SWEET VALLEY Card Kit!

 

 

This kit is absolutely beautiful and the stamp set is so much fun!

 

 

 

I had so much fun with this great chalkboard paper in the Valley High Card Kit! I paired it with the great yellow-orange BG paper and these beautiful rhinestones. I love the graphic, modern feel of this card!

 

I also used a fun digital cut on this one- the scalloped frame is from Fancy Frames by LifeLovePaper- SO much fun!

 

I am LOVING the watercolors included in the Valley High Card Kit! I created this fun background by painting the watercolors (red, orange, and yellow) onto the large flower stamp and stamping the image onto watercolor paper. After stamping, I went over the flowers with a brush to blend the colors together a little more. After it dried, I went back and stamped the interior of the flowers with gold ink. It was so fun to play around with watercolors and stamps!

You Float My Boat

Hey, guys!

 

I don't know about you, but summer has been sweeping my away! I'm here today to share a fun card with you that is just perfect for summer!

 

I'm linking this one up to the latest challenge from Retro Sketches, too! Their sketches are always so inspiring!

 

 

 

So many fun new things from the Studio Calico Atlantic collection here! The kraft/cork paper is from the Atlantic 6x6 Paper Pad- so many great designs included in this collection. The navy anchor paper was cut from a 12x12 sheet- it's called Plymouth. Love it so much.... The sentiment banner strip is from the Vellum Die Cut Shapes- I backed it with a different sheet of paper from the 6x6 pad! So fun! And, of course, the sequins.... One of my favorites from this collection.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! You should definitely go check out the sketch over at Retro Sketches and also the Atlantic Collection at Studio Calico!

 

 

Studio Calico ROUNDABOUT cards AND a WINNER!

  Hi!

I'm here tonight to share the cards I made with the new ROUNDABOUT kits from Studio Calico! I'm seriously IN LOVE with the kits this month- I still have so much playing to do!

Here's what I've made so far (full supply lists can be seen in my GALLERY!)

 

 

I had SO much fun with the stamps in the Roundabout Card Kit this month! I started by stamping the cross pattern repeatedly to make my own pattern. Then, I colored some of the crosses in to coordinate with the Pier "Carousel" paper! I am absolutely in love with the sentiment, too!

 

 

When I saw the stamp set in the Coconut Grove Card Kit Add-on, I knew that I had to have that kit! The mix and match balloons are super fun and this set is PERFECT for quick birthday cards!
On this one, I stamped several balloons and colored them with Copic markers. I used my colorless blender to make some fun designs on a few of the balloons!

 

I love it when there are fun little bits on 12x12 paper that you can cut out and use on cards! This sentiment is from a sheet in the Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! Love it and knew that I was going to make a card with it the second I saw it!
The Coconut Grove Card Add-on Kit comes with 2 beautiful rolls of Hemptique twine this month! I used the green here!
And check out those super sweet pink dots! They're called "Candi Mini's" and they're in the Coconut Grove Card Add-on, too!

 

 

This card features products from the beautiful Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! I LOVE the feminine florals in this kit- they pair so nicely with the metallic bits! These copper alphas are BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

 am having so much fun with the Peerless Transparent Watercolor Papers! On this one, I watercolored over the mask from the Savannah Shore Add-on- it created this really fun pattern! Then, I went over it with some watered down copper mist and also sprayed the mist lightly. I finished it off with some gold stars (stamp from the Coconut Grove Card Add-on) and this amazing sentiment (stamp from the Roundabout Card Kit). LOVE the way it turned out!

 

I used a lot of lovely digital items for this card! I have been LOVING these beautiful Digital Layout Templates and this month is no different! I started with Roundabout Digital Compass Frame and then added some fun Digital Stamp Brushes: Roundabout Card Kit Brushes and Project Life Brushes! I printed it out and adhered it to a card base- super easy and really fun!

 

Like I said- I feel like I have so much more I want to create with these beautiful kits! Hopefully I'll have some TIME soon and I'll post something!
