We are so excited about our colorful, new March 2018 kit, and our design team is, too! For our first March blog post this month, Suzanna Stein is sharing a beautiful pocket page spread all about a special birthday with her family. Let’s take a look:
Hey there, crafty pals! It’s Suzanna here and I’m so excited to share a project with you that I created using the March kit and add-ons.
Supplies | March 2018 Kit, Big Moment Phrase Stickers, Heart of Gold Chipboard Stickers, Cerulean Blue Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Happy Moments Stamp
I had so much fun creating these pocket pages and used a few tags in different ways than they may have been intended, which is one of my favorite things to do while crafting!
For the first page of my spread, I used a journaling tag with lines for my title. I used a mix of the Happy Moments Stamp and Cerulean Blue Puffy Alphabet Stickers to create the title for my layout, then added a simple red heart from the Heart of Gold Chipboard Stickers in the bold box at the top of the card.
I also created a little cluster on the rainbow dot card for my date. In the cluster, I added a die cut from the March Kit with staples and a Heart of Gold chipboard heart to add dimension.
On the second page, I used more layers and clusters to add detail and dimension to the layout. One of the favorite tags that I used is half of the “always a favorite” 4″ x 6″ tag that came in the March Kit. After cutting it in half, I added a die cut with staples to hold a simple sentiment.
I brought the rainbow over to this side of the layout with the 3″ x 4″ rainbow stripe card from the March Kit. I like that this brings balance to the layout!
For the journaling, I used the 5 things card for a few simple words. I didn’t use this to list five things, but I love the simple journaling it allows me to add—almost like a second title.
To finish the layout, I splattered gold craft spray across various cards throughout the spread. I love the bright colors of this kit and that I was able to document a special birthday memory in such a vibrant and uplifting layout!
I’ll be back next month for more crafty inspiration! Until then, I can’t wait to see what you’re creating using this kit!
A Colorful Celebration with Suzanna Stein
