Best of Both Worlds: My Scrapbooking Product Picks for June 2014
It’s the first of June. June! Time for me to stare at the calendar in shock that we’re nearly halfway through what still feels like a new year, that Wonder Boy is a month-and-a-half old, and that it’s been a very long time since I slept for more than a couple hours at a time. Of course. But it’s also time for a new month’s scrapbooking product picks, which can now be found here.
This month’s kit includes plenty of summery brights, with a bit of distressed detail to bring it back from Rainbow Brite territory. Nine double-sided papers give you a mix of bold patterns and smaller, more subtle designs, brought to life a bit with red Thickers letters. This chipboard set is one of my favourite products in a few months, at least. It will stretch to so many layouts! Enamel dots always make a great finishing touch, and the travel motifs made me think it was time to bring in a map background for those of you who love to stamp.
This was my mystery item this month: in the store it looks like a pack of playing cards! But it’s actually a lush set of double-sided 3×4 cards. The Crate Paper design team have been creating gorgeous projects with these, so I’m inspired to see how they will come to life on my projects. Have a look at these posts to see the cards in action: travel notes, two mini books, springtime cards, and a pre-made vacation journal.
Plus a printable for some creative fun. My plan is to print it once in the original colours then also recolour a few elements so it can match any page made from these supplies. There is also a matching cut file if you are a print-and-cut fan!
As always, the Best of Both Worlds kit gives you the flexibility to customise your selection – add more, make substitutions, or keep to a specific budget. You can start your shopping here and add one of everything or make any changes you like. Thanks as always for your support!
