Use up a magazine kit #8

I went back to the magazine kit that I was using for my series on YouTube where I show everything I manage to make from the kit and made four cards.

I made myself a masterboard that worked with the card toppers in the kit so the video has me making the masterboard, mounting the card toppers onto cardstock and then choosing how to put together the cards.

Such a pretty set with the artsy backgrounds and then the more traditional themed toppers.

This one I chose quite a large topper so needed a larger card size so went 6×6. I also kept the whole thing quite flat as the topper and the sentiment rather dominate and didn’t think it needed anything else!

This one more of the masterboard is on display and it is very cute with the sentiment and gems having the peachy colouring to them. I raised up the sentiment on this one but kept the other layers flat. I love the big border on this card too!

The two smaller ones I went with traditional sized card bases and some dimension for the toppers. For the one above I used craft foam under the whole topper to raise that and on the one below adhesive foam on the sentiment banner.

I did cut a couple of flowers from the background for this one as embellishments and love how this looks.

I added gems to finish them off and then inside the purple cards I added a panel of white with an off cut of the masterboard to just bring the same element through to the inside.

So that’s four more cards made with the magazine kit – not sure how many more cards I will be able to make without brining in extra supplies as apart from mediums, gems and cardstock everything so far has been done using the supplies in the kit – I am thinking I may start adding other sentiments stamps or dies in – or maybe some foiling at some point but we will see!

For now though there was a second thing I did when making this set and that was to do a full sheet of green leaves which I haven’t used at all but have an idea for Make it Masculine which I missed last month with all the Christmas in July craziness! So watch this space on what I do with that!

Happy crafting!
