Were involved in making cards this last week for World Card Making Day? My day was filled with family so I wasn't able to play along on Saturday but I was very inspired by some of the card sketches I found and have chosen to create a few with the September 2014 Trio Kit.
One of the things I loved in the kit were these cute pinkish/red polka dot bags by Pebbles. I think they are so cute! Of course, I'm a polka dot fanatic so I knew I wanted to use them somehow. I chose to use it as my patterned paper for this card and add a bit of that darling black/white diagnal striped paper by Shimelle. I also used the fun black and white chalk labels from the kit to add my sentiment on.
Kit products used: Pebbles envelope, Melissa Frances chalk label, Black/white diagnal striped paper by AC heart Shimelle.
Non Kit items: washi tape, black and white cardstock, sentiment sticker by Doodlebug, pearls by Kaiser craft, ribbon & flowers from my stash
This second card is created using the fun MME Jubilee papers from the kit as well as the orange cardstock. I chose the dotted paper(surprise) and layered it with a bit of black to pull in the black from the chalkboard journaling block. I used the mini alphas by Basic Grey in the kit to create my sentiment and fussy cut a few of the circles to add to the bottom. I added a few buttons from my stash and a bit of twine.
Kit Items used: Papers by MME Jubilee, Melissa Frances Chalk label, orange cardstock, Basic Grey Alphabet stickers

I challenge you to pull out your scraps and create a few cards. I love making a few each month to add to my stash. That way I always have the cards that I need. Be sure and check things out in the store. They are still 50% and you can't go wrong with that! Happy Scrapping!!
