Happy Blog Hop Day, friends!!!
I always love seeing the projects my fellow Creative Life Scrapbookers post on these magical days when we blog hop, so I hope you’re following along and have come from Candace’s page. How do you like this season’s ideas so far? Feeling inspired??
This month I was thinking about how to use my bonus pieces from a couple of CM’s new card kits, and I decided that instead of making more cards (like I might usually do) I was going to make some fun borders with them instead.
Have you seen the XOXO and Just Because card kits from Creative Memories yet??? If not, I recommend them highly! I especially love the foiling in the XOXO kit and the shiny gem stickers in the Just Because kit!
You can get these card kits and more on my website now!
XOXO Card Kit Bonus Piece Borders
This first two-page border used:
- Bonus pieces and leftover stickers from the XOXO Card Kit
- Pink & Bronze Shimmer Cardstock
- A sheet of old foiled paper from the CM Divine Power Palette
- 12-inch Straight Trimmer
- Scallop Border Punch
- Repositionable Tape Runner
- Foam Squares
To get the double scallop, I just punched one side of the bronze paper and then trimmed the strip to about 2.5″ wide and lined it up to punch the other side in the same pattern as the first side. It took a bit of practice, but it wasn’t too hard at all! I also had to cut some of the foam squares into smaller strips so I could pop up the words for “LOVE” and “hello”, but besides that it’s pretty much just a cut-and-paste border.
This second single border used:
- Bonus Pieces from the XOXO Card Kit
- Pink Cardstock
- A sheet of old foiled paper from the CM Divine Power Palette and a sheet of old Gold Metallic CM Cardstock
- 12-inch Straight Trimmer

- Brown Dual-tip Pen
- A few of the gem stickers from the Just Because Card Kit
- Repositionable Tape Runner
- Foam Squares
