Five reasons to get our July Kit

Posted on by crazydaisy

Still not sure you want to join the  Crazy Daisy community and purchase the July Main kit? Here are five reasons why you should:


1. Kim Whitten:

“Here is a 12×12 using a some of the Crate Paper frames and papers. This one was screaming for my sewing machine, so I answered the call and just did some stitching around the frames and the outside edge. Also brushed on some of gesso to help those scallops show up better on the journaling sheet.”

“Lately I’ve really gotten into using small square letter stickers like those from Rose Moka and My Little Shoebox. Lots of options when creating longer titles. So, I sort of created my own version for this layout. I started with the Jenni Bowlin rub-on letters from the kit, and added them to one of the die-cut frames (Crate Paper), also from the kit.

Then I cut them apart to make individual shapes.I also inked the edges with Distress Ink, in “Brushed Corduroy”, then added them to my title. Easy, and adds a whole new look to rub-on letters!

There were lots of other Crate Paper die cut borders, frames, and journaling tags. I took this circle frame, and added it for a little interest. Also shown here are a couple of the Maya Road transparent tickets from the kit. I know I’ll be using more of those! Loads of Prima rub-ons in the kit, including borders and frames. The frames are sized perfectly for adding grunge edges to 4×6 photos. I never think that far ahead to print my photos ‘standard’ sizes, so I cut apart one of these frames and added it to the parts of my photo where it would be seen.

More rub-on details, and some coordinating Prima flowers I added from my stash. (Who says you can’t use flowers on a ‘boy’ page?) The journaling spot is actually another one of the Prima rub-ons. I added it to one of the die-cut tags.”

“My America The Beautiful mini-book … incorporated the Maya Road star mini-book and the patriotic line from Cosmo Cricket.  I think sticking to one paper line keeps a project from being too busy and it also makes everything easy and fast. The papers coordinated well and the stickers was a fun addition too. I even used some of the stickers as a key chain type of embellishment outside of the book. I adhered them to some pattern papers first then punched holes onto the edge and run it through the chain.

The inside pages doesn’t have much but I intend to fit in some index sized pictures of the Fourth of July festivities … ”

    Looking good ladies!

    I like how you used all those frames Kim – lots of fun movement.

    Grace – can’t wait to see that mini with the pictures. Isn’t that a fun paper line to use?!

    Donna – I love that you incorporated the chipboard stars into a layout. And the rub-ons layered over the pp look cool.
