Layle By Mail Season Pass

Today I'm sharing three cards I made with the Layle By Mail Summer/Fall Season Pass. I was first introduced to Layle Konar when I was on the Simple Stories design team. Layle was our coordinator and I was always impressed with her amazing projects!

The Season Pass is a quarterly program/kit with exclusive products for memory keeping enthusiasts, including paper, die cuts, stickers & stamps. Perfect for traveler's notebooks, scrapbook pages, mini books, cards and more.

It includes:
(12) exclusive 12x12 double-sided papers + the 12x12 cover sheet also has an additional pattern on the back side :)
(68) exclusive die cuts
(78) exclusive wordstrip stickers on a 5x7 sticker sheet
(18) exclusive photopolymer stamps on a 4x6 stamp set
(3) rolls of exclusive washi tape with matching patterns from the kit
(2) standard wide lined traveler’s notebook inserts (5" wide x 8.25" tall)
(1) 13x13 craft storage pouch

This kit is focused on Summer and Fall so you have papers that celebrate Summer (July), Back To School (August), and Autumn (September). The papers are coordinated to work together no matter which month or occasion you are celebrating but I'm focusing on the more "fall" looking elements today.

By fall I'm spying bushels of apples, woodland critters, and colorful leaves. As you can see, the other elements I used like the butterflies, tree branches and florals could fit any of those months - it's all up to you!

I love that the papers are a nice thick quality. They're double sided so I have more paper choices, and of course all the accessories - die cuts, word strip stickers and washi!

There's also an optional notebook that you can add to your kit. We like to take road trips and document our stops noting the place we stopped or significant things we've seen and even the cost of gas and food so we can plan future trips. A decorated journal would be welcome on any of our adventures! There is a small price increase to add the albums.

Everything you can see on my cards is included in the kit with the exception of the card bases, solid matt backgrounds and adhesives.

You can find Layle by Mail Here! Her shop includes Simple Stories and lots of fun journaling projects that make crafting more enjoyable.

Blessed Beyond Words

Today I'm playing at Cut it Up Challenge where this time it's Grateful Thankful Blessed! If you want to play along you better hurry because there's only a few days left!

I cut the Waffle Flower Cozy Icons dies from bright colorful solid cardstock, assembled them and then arranged them on an Inside / Outside Circle Die cut. The Cozy Icons set includes all the images you see on the card including the leaves, mushrooms, acorn, butterflies and even the coffee cup.

I liked the circle to create a focal point for the Grateful Heart Sentiment and to help ground the different elements like the coffee cup and little snail.

The background is a Tiny Diamonds cover plate that adds lots of texture and more color to your design when it's layered over a darker panel of cardstock.

That little pumpkin on the sleeve of the coffee cup is colored with makers and has me wanting a pumpkin spice Frappuccino! Oh the temptation! LOL!

2025 Season Pass Fall/Holiday - November Edition

Hi Friends! I'm excited to share some cards made with the latest edition of the Layle By Mail Season Pass. The Season Pass 2.0... is a quarterly program/kit with exclusive products for memory keeping enthusiasts, including paper, die cuts, stickers & stamps. Perfect for traveler's notebooks, scrapbook pages, mini books, cards and more.

The kit includes 12 double sided papers 12x12", including a full sheet of monthly cut-apart cards in 3x4 and 4x6 sizes. You'll also receive an exclusive polymer stamp set, word strip sticker sheet, pre-printed die cut images and three rolls of washi tape in a reusable plastic mesh bag. The kit is available with (2) standard wide lined traveler’s notebook inserts (5" wide x 8.25" tall) or without. I'm a card maker so I opt to receive the kit without the notebooks.

From spooky October fun to the gratitude of November and the festive magic of December, everything in the Fall/Holiday Season Pass 2.0 is designed to help you capture the season’s most meaningful moments with ease and style. My focus today was creating four Fall/Thanksgiving themed cards.

Journaling card make great focal points for cards! Just embellish them with some of the die cut images or stack them like I did on my card below. The green plaid floral background is a large 4x6 card that I topped with a 3x4 card with a sentiment. The maple leaf is from another journaling card that I trimmed and then rounded the corners with a punch.

The trimmed maple leaf card is adhered with adhesive foam tape to add dimension and then topped with a "Fall" script sentiment. You can also fussy cut images from the journaling cards to add to your die cut stash.

The papers for fall include some beautiful florals that are perfectly color coordinated to match every element in the collection. You'll notice that the paper, die cuts and washi are beautiful together!

I love the iconic images like leaves, pinecones, and chrysanthemums in the set as well as the big sentiments and warm colors that leave you feeling comfy cozy. I incorporated some of the orange dot paper that I had left from my October cards made with this same kit and it blends in seamlessly.

You can add another layer of interest to your designs by adding word strip stickers and washi along seams where your prints meet.

Everything you need to make my cards is included in the kit. The only items I added are the card bases, solid cardstock matts and the adhesives to adhere them together.

I hope you'll give this kit a try! It's so convenient to have it delivered to my front door, ready to make! And all the elements inside will keep you making for three months of occasions!  I'm linking up to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge.

With You I Never Feel Lonely

Fall is in the air - things are getting busy in the garden again. It's time to clear away the leaves and dig up the bulbs to get ready for next year. Today I'm playing along at the Sisterhood of Crafters Blog where this time it's all about FALL!

I thought the scarecrows from the Pink & Main Field of Dreams would be perfect! I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Copic markers and then cut cut them with the coordinating die set.

My cards always start the same, I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This makes it easy for me to slide different background behind the images to get a sneak peek of the finished card.

I decided on a simple Distress Oxide blended background. You can see how I extended the inks in an arch to meet the layout of the three scarecrows - the clear panel helped me see that a straight line of green ink didn't look right.

I hope you're smiling and that you get some time to play today!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Thanks for stopping by! Fall is in the air! Today I'm sharing a card made with ALL Die cuts and I'm linking up at Die Cut Divas where this time it's Anything Goes - so no excuses for not playing along!

These are the fall pumpkins from Pink & Main. The set includes two gourds and a bitty pumpkin with some foliage and the "happy fall" sentiment.

My background is some stacked plaid cover panels in shades of yellow and orange. To create a focal point I added a white Reverse Scallop Circle. This makes the gourds pop.

I cut the "happy fall" sentiment from dark teal cardstock and then cut the panel again with a sentiment strip. I added the strip with adhesive foam tape so I could tuck bitty purple leaves underneath. I love that they added score lines to the leaves to help bring them to life.

The finishing touch is always some bling.. this time it's a sprinkle of purple gems! I always think of purple for fall and winter - it's a little unexpected and I hope it made you look twice!
