KIT LOVE with Nathalie

 

Hi there!

It seems like 2020 is about to come to an end, and I think we all are ready to start  new year filled with new projects and hopefully more relaxed days.  This month, we want to help you document your memories in style, so Trina has curated three kits, all of them beautiful and super versatile.

First of, here is our new Life Crafted kit: LEGENDARY.   This kit is filled with colorful designs, sweet sentiments, and probably a few of our favorite embellishments (enamel dots and puffy hearts). The kit is just perfect for all sorts of documenting.  You can join Nathalie as she shares a more in-depth look at the Life Crafted kit:

What is not to love!  this kit is just gorgeous!  Of course Trina  made sure to bring a touch of Fall to the CTK shop, and also curated a Scrapbooking Add-on kit.  Wait til you see Fall Perfection...

The add-on kit features papes and embellishments from Simple Stories, Pinkfresh Studio, and others.  Join Nathalie as she shares a closer look at the contents of the add on kit:

The November 2020 Add on kit is sure to be the perfect complement to your fall activities and beyond.   IN addition, Trina has curated a small run a Christmas Add-on kit.

This kit is truly magical, and it features papers from Crate Paper's Hey Santa collection, as well as the Stamp Market's newest paper release.  Let's join Shannon as she shares with us a closer look at this kit:

We have so much inspiration coming your way. Our Design team has been working with the kits, and  are ready to share ideas for documenting your stories using our kits.

Cannot wait to see what you all create!

September Kit Love

Hello my crafty friends!!

Happy September! I can't believe we are in September!

I'm still dreaming of my summer break. It has sadly come to an end and well, back to work I have gone. I do work from home, and I feel very fortunate...but I'm missing the days of endless ice cream eating and beach day trips!

Here I added a cute layout onto my Life Crafted "weekends" album. This layout was a bunch of layered goodness:

September's Life Crafted kit has amazing fall colors and these fabric embellishments! Be still my embellishment loving heart!

I love using up all the paper tags and tid bits that these kits have to offer. The labels continue to be my favorite! I love to layer labels to give extra pops of color or to add some journaling here and there:

On the right side I added the cute 2.5x7.7" card  that comes in the kit every month:

I really hope you enjoyed my layout and love for this month's life crafted kit! 

July Kit Love with Ashley Horton

Hello everyone!!   I hope you are all enjoying your summer and finding time to sit down and create with your favorite Citrus Twist products.  I'm here today to share some inspiration with you, using the gorgeous July Wild at Heart Life Crafted Kit!

If you received the Wild at Heart Kit, then you know it has a lot of fun bright colors.  It also has these awesome large numbers and they were the inspiration I used to get started on this layout.  I loved that the numbers were Black, Gray and White.  They made me go with a more neutral color scheme and I decided to turn my photos to Black and White also.  You can see that I did bring in a bit of color, but I went with the softer pinks and teals from the kit.  I love the contrast of the B&W look with the limited color scheme.

I wanted to use the photos and numbers to create a grid design on the left-hand side of my layout.  I sized my photos a bit smaller than the numbers, so I could include some embellishing with each photo.  Then I offset the photos on my background paper, and next I placed the numbers. 

Since I used all three of my photos on the left-hand side of the page, I didn't have any to include on the right-hand side.  I knew I wanted to continue the grid design, though.  I went through the Ephemera from the Wild at Heart Kit and chose pieces that I could put together to get a grid look.  I mixed in some circle pieces on this side to add a contrast with the rectangular shapes.  And, I was able to include my title on this side, by using the Puffy Alpha Stickers over one of the Ephemera pieces.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my post today!  I hope I've given you some ideas for working with your Life Crafted Kits!  This type of page design is great for using up bits and pieces of your Ephemera, so I hope you'll give it a try!

JULY KIT LOVE

This month's color palette was inspired by a trip to the California , you will even find original art by Trina sprinkled through the entire kit.    Let's join Nathalie as she shares a closer look of the Life Crafted: WILD AT HEART kit:




Just love all the colorful and fresh designs of the kit!  We are confident you are going to love it, too and will use it to document your memories in our Life Crafted albums or your favorite format.

KIT LOVE - EXPLORE KIT

Hello everyone!
A new month, a new set of stories and memories to document.   This month our Life Crafted Kit: EXPLORE is packed a colorful array  of papers, embellishments and stamps that will help you document all your everyday moments.   The EXPLORE kit has a soft focus on all those adventurous trips and travels (big, small, local or abroad) and the stories they can tell.

September also marks the beginning of a new Creative Team term, and we have a group of designers that have been creating beautiful projects to inspire you.  We are sure you are going to love what they have created.  So who better to answer this question, than our new design team:

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE EXPLORE KIT IS...

The Chipboard Alpha and Puffy Stickers

  

The puffy stickers!! So cute and easy to use!

 Just ONE favorite?!  Ok, then I will say the puffy stickers, can't get enough of them.  Oh, and those patterned papers of course!  Oops, that's obviously two favorites... lol!

  I can't never get enough of the patterned papers!

My favorite part of the kit is the "Simple Words" stamp set. I can use it OVER and OVER and OVER again for GOOD days, BAD days, FUNNY days and SAD days.

The floral die cuts and grid paper!  Can we have those two things in every kit?  😉

Oh boy, there are so many beautiful things in this kit that is hard to pick a favorite!  But I'll have to go with the cards.   They 're perfect for documenting our adventures! 

   I love the stamp set and the bright colors from the patterned papers! 

  I adore the 6x8 papers!  The patterns are so unique and the floral papers are fabulous!

  The stamps set and chipboard alphabet are my favorites.

 I love the puffy stickers, and all those digital files that i can customize for my pages!

  The physical 6x8 option and the digital LC option of the papers!! You guys think of everything! 

I absolutely love the floral die cuts, the chipboard alphabet and the journaling cards...all gorgeous and can be used for so many projects!

Puffy Stickers and floral die cuts.  I was so pleased to find so many floral dies cuts! 😍

------------------------------------------------------------------

We are so eager to start sharing all these projects with you this month, and we hope to inspire you to  check the EXPLORE Life Crafted kit and all the add ons!

See you all soon!
