Morgyn ~ May Kit ~ Fathers Day Card

Hi scrappers,

Morgyn here with a quick Fathers day card using the May Scrapping Fun kit.

This was my 3rd project created using the May kit - and I still have lots of bits left over (special project coming up in the next couple of months - keep an eye out)

I know Fathers day isn't until September (here in Australia) but it's always nice to have cards on hand rather than rushing at the last minute.

First I used 2 of the patterned papers to create my background - none of my pieces were big enough to cover the whole card.  I added the twine in between the pieces where there was a little gap.

Next I ran the black piece of paper through my big shot with an alpha die to spell out Happy fathers day. I stuck these down then got started on my embellishments.  A strip of washi tape with a metal gear in the top corner - I filled the middle of the gear with some of the mini seed beads.

Lastly I added a couple of washi strips (from my stash) and layered a few sequins together in the bottom corner.  This was such a simple card to create and I really LOVE the way it turned out.  Hopefully one of the fathers (probably my husband) will enjoy this come September.

As always I have a process video up for this card, I would love you to check it out.

You can find it HERE.

Have a great scrappy day

Morgyn ~ May Kit ~ My reads

Morgyn here sharing another mini spread in my Travellers notebook.

I am trying to document some of my favourite things throughout the year in this little notebook, I have found the Scrapping Fun Kits as perfect to accent my pages.

This month I am documenting 'My Reads' - these are my favourite series of books. I have read the first 3 at least 2-3 times and always seem to read something new. The Series is The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simons.

The blues in this kit match almost perfectly with the colours in the book covers.

First I created a background with some stamps (background stamps from Stampin' Up!) and ink. Then layed down a couple of washi tape pieces and used some kit papers to back behind my photo.

After adding my photo I worked on my embellishment clusters.  With a small space to work with in a Travellers notebook, my clusters are rather minimal - sequins in top and bottom corners, then a cluster of paper flower, metal gear and flair to the top right of the photo.  

Finally I added a title using an alpha stamp set.  I try to keep these layouts quick and simple to create.

If you would like to watch my process video of this spread you can check it out here.

Thanks for stopping by

Lisa - May Kit - 8teen

Today I have a Layout for you using the May Embellishment Kit from Scrapping Fun Kits.

I wanted a rough teenage look and so I distressed the edges of 11x11 white card with Orange and Black ink and mounted it onto 12x12 Black Striped patterned paper that I had in my stash.

I then splattered some orange ink in random places.

I mounted the photo onto orange cardstock and then layered the kit patterned paper underneath. Distressing the edges in black so it would pop from the white background.

The Gorgeous Cogs from the Kit made a great embellishment cluster along the left side of the photo.


I used the Kit Epoxy Flairs and Round Paper Clip across the top coupled with some circle patterned paper punches from my stash

I also added a layer of triangle to the top to go with the circles and geometric patterns on the Kit patterned paper.








To the right I used some Chipboard Alpha Tiles in my son's initials, this is also the nickname he started using in his teens.

Along the bottom of the photo I have added some more geometric shapes using the Kit Patterned paper

The Title is using a mixture of fonts with chipboard and stickers which I have coloured a dark brown to blend.

To add a bit of interest I have used both numbers and letters to combine the theme of Teen and being 18.

Below is the complete layout. I really love the Circles and Geometric shapes in this layout giving it an edgy teen look.

Raelene - May Kit - Ouch

Hi Scrapping Fun Fans.
Raelene with you today sharing my layout OUCH using the May Kit.

A prompt in a magazine last year had me fill a word doc with a few stories, this story was one of them, the journaling and photo have been on my desk for some time just waiting for the right layout.

I used the same light grey cardstock for my background as I did with my layout Brothers.
Adding layers with some of the papers from the kit and the washi.
I mounted my photo and journaling on black cardstock so it would pop.

The washi in the kit was great for adding some more layers to the layout.

I added some of the washi to the top right corner to help balance things out and ground the gears.

Cogs and Gears are one of my favourite embellishments.






It is important to scrap the memories we otherwise would avoid in our albums as they aren't happy.

Why don't you sit down and type up a few stories you haven't told in your albums and maybe scrap some of them.

The May Kits have sold out and there are only a couple of June Kits left so if you haven't ordered a June Kit yet make sure you head to the Subscription Tab at Scrapping Fun Kits Blog and order one asap.

Tracey- May Kit- Forever Grateful

Hey Scrappers! How are you all loving your May kits? I can tell you that I LOVED this kit because of how 'boyish' it was. This was a SUPER quick layout of my gorgeous son.








I pulled out a sheet of black cardstock and then trimmed it to 11x11 (I think) and some patterned paper with small blue roses on it, I use this to back the black cardstock.  I then used another sheet of patterned paper as a large base for my photo. I mounted the photo on a cream cardstock.

I then used my Kaisercraft cog dies to cut out an assortment of brown cogs to use as my embellishments. I also used some wooded cogs which are by Kaisercraft. In this months kit, we were given some metal cogs which I loved- I scattered the 3 types of cogs in a diagonal line across the page.


















At this stage I was pretty happy with my embellishments so I added my title using brown letter stickers and a die from Kaisercraft.

That's all for this layout but keep your eyes open for some more layouts by our other DT members!
