Pocket Card Perfection Blog Hop

Welcome to our Pocket Card Perfection Blog Hop! If you have come here from Michelle’s Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. 

This month we have 12 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using Pocket Cards and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I have created a double page layout using the Party Time Picture My Life Cards- these are just like our normal PML cards except they are only available until the end of this month. They are perfect for birthday themed layouts and cards, and match with our Party Time Paper Packet and Sticker Sheet in the core catalogue.

The top of this layout is made using the 4x6 PML cards spread out across the two page layout. 

The left hand side also features some of the fun matching stickers from the sticker sheet, including the scalloped border (yes that is a sticker!) that I cut in half so that it would fit over both sides of the layout. Paired with the starry zip strip down the bottom, it makes for such a bright and fun layout.

I cut the balloons out of one of the PML card designs, and then sponged behind it with Glacier ink and popped it up on foam tape to give it some extra depth and dimension. 

Over on the right hand side of the layout, we have more bright and cheerful colours thanks to all the fun patterns on the PML cards, as well as more stickers and a stamped balloon from the Wishing You Everything stamp and thin cuts set.

I also added two of the smaller 3x4 PML cards to this layout- one as a journal box and then one simply as a patterned piece behind the journal box. I also added an acrylic heart as the finishing touch!

The great thing is that this design can be used with any PML cards depending on what theme you want or the look you are going for, and there is minimal cutting as the pocket cards fit perfectly in a row across the top of the layout. 

For example, here's the exact same layout design but I've swapped the left and right sides and used the Sweet Safari Picture My Life Cards paired with some of the leftovers from my Sweet Safari Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
