I’ve started a new series over on my YouTube channel using up a magazine kit I bought!
I spotted this Crafters Companion kit and couldn’t resist getting it – but decided to challenge myself to use it with a series of videos using it up – goodness knows how long it will take – but hopefully it will be fun to see what I make with it all!
Please note that I rarely use the magazine for inspiration in these kits so the idea is that apart from a tiny flick through I have not used it at all! If that changes will let you know as this series progresses!
I started with this zingy green card …
I pretty much just stamped and watercoloured all the flowers and leaves and then fussy cut them all and layered them over the green base.
I had added a little interest to the back with the scored lines but otherwise it’s a simple and plain background raised up against the same colour cardstock for the base card.
I cut the sentiment from the paper pack and then mounted that on black in keeping with the black line art and then added some sequins for the flower centres.
I did choose to only glue the flowers in the centre so that gives them some dimension.
Then I raised the banner sentiment up on foam for additional dimension.
A pretty and bright start to the series!
Looking forward to seeing what else I end up making!
Happy crafting!

Great way to challenge yourself – will be watching with interest! Love this first card – the green base really sets the flowers off
Thanks – I think I needed to just push my boundaries a little and do something a little different
The decision to start a series focused on using up a magazine kit is such a creative challenge. The zingy green card as the first project really sets a cheerful tone, with the stamped and watercolored flowers adding vibrant charm. The scored lines on the background subtly enhance the design without overpowering it. Elevating the flowers by gluing only the centers and using foam for the banner sentiment adds wonderful dimension. The sequins as flower centers are a delightful touch, making this card truly pop.
