How do you record your memories? Do you use and love Project Life by Stampin’ Up? I’ve been making scrapbook pages and Project Life albums for a few years, now, and I have to say—using Project Life makes the whole process easier. I can start with pockets sized for my pictures and coordinating cards and accessories—and so many of the creative decisions are already made. I love the variety of kits that Stampin’ Up! creates every year, and the Project Life Memories in the Making Photopolymer Bundle (item #140575) (from the occasions catalog) is no exception!
I started with two Project Life pages. I wanted to capture some fun pictures from a get-together with my two crafting besties. I used the main card collection and decorated them with the accessory pack and the photopolymer stamp set.
Right now during Sale-A-Bration, you can earn the coordinating Memories in the Making Project Life Specialty Card Collection for free! The Watermelon Wonder printed acetate card above is one of the 4″ x 6″ specialty cards. I cut it down to 4″ x 4″ to match the printed card underneath. I also added some Basic Black Baker’s Twine (item # 134576) to the title card and stapled it in place using the Handheld Stapler (item # 139083).
I layered two more of the specialty cards (the UV-resist Watermelon Wonder hearts card and the white printed acetate card) in the upper left pocket. I’ve also used the coordinating Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits Dies (item # 135707) and the photopolymer stamp set to add captions to my pictures. The pocket pages I used are from the Variety Pack 1 12″ X 12″ Project Life Photo Pocket Pages (item # 135294) and the Variety Pack 2 Project Life Photo Pocket Pages (item #138471).
So let’s say you’re not an avid memory keeper. These adorable products can still be used for all of your papercrafting needs. I made three cards and a small gift bag with this same bundle, supplemented with Stampin’ Up! inks, cardstock, and Designer Series Paper.
I watercolored the background of this UV-resist card and cut it down to fit my card front. I also used the Balloon Bouquet Punch (item # 140609) to cut balloons from some of the cards.
Here I layered a 3″ x 4″ card over a 4″ x 6″ card cut to 4″ x 5″, added some stamping, wood flowers, and the cute washi tape to complete my card.
The accessory pack includes these adorable 2″ x 2″ cards that I added to a card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals for some depth. I completed the card with more wood accents and a leftover strip of the Watermelon Wonder printed acetate card. I think it’s simple and cute!
For my last project, I watercolored another UV-resist card with a triangle pattern and matted it with Watermelon Wonder Cardstock. I cut some banners from the cards and stamped a greeting on a Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock banner. Some Basic Black Baker’s Twine and a clothespin complete the small gift bag that I created using the Gift Bag Punch Board (item # 135862).
I love the versatility of the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! products. Why don’t you add some to your next order?
