My Creative Scrapbook May 2026 Main Kit

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!

This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Simple Stories "Pink Lemonade" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!

The theme this month is summer inspired.. think butterflies and flowers, as well as refreshing lemons, strawberries and cool drinks.

The papers in this kit are plaids, gingham, dots, and florals in rainbow colors of Red, Pink, Creamy Orange, Yellow, Green and Aqua. There's a pop of black in accents and sentiments that adds great contrast.

I had fun arranging the different elements. I usually group them together to fit a common theme - like the card above I wanted to look like butterflies in a meadow, and the card below with the fresh lemons and the pitcher of lemonade.

When I have my layout decided I'll try to go in and add a few more pieces like the flowers and the butterfly on this card.

Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and enamel dots. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.

You'll have fun making cards or documenting memories with this kit. No matter what your style too. I love to make scene cards, but collage, mixed media, clean and simple, layered..... whatever your style you make this kit yours!

I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

Creative Kit Showcase with Jinny

 Welcome back, My Creative Scrapbook friends!  It’s Jinny here today to showcase a new project inspired by the May Creative Kit.  This month’s kit is all about summer and sunshine with playful papers, everyday ephemera, element stickers, and chipboard accents from Echo Park’s Our Groovy Summer Collection and chipboard words and phrases from Echo Park’s Have a Great Summer Collection.  I chose to highlight a fun page boasting elements from all of the products in this month’s kit, as well as a stencil, sequins, and even a vellum scrap leftover from past kits, for you all, today.  It was the last page I made with this month’s kit contents, which goes to show you that all these fabulous monthly goodies just keep on giving.  Enjoy!

I started this page by adding a large puddle of varying shades of orange in the center of the 12x12 watercolor paper, background page.  I then splattered it with those same shades of orange watercolor, as well as sky blue and green watercolors, before smudging Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Up Ink through an older Creative Kit’s star stencil.  Once everything was good and dry, I traced those inked stars with a black Faber Castell artist pen and splattered everything once again; but this time, with Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints.  After everything was dry a second time, I matted my photos with white cardstock; stacked the top photo, which I had such fun hand-cutting (My kids were thoroughly impressed with that dimensional bat look.), over a couple of fun prints, anchored with black-threaded, straight, machine stitching…

and tucked a tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow, under its top edge.

My second photo was also backed with a couple more of the kit’s playful prints, anchored with more black-threaded, straight, machine stitching, as well as my last torn bit of a vellum swirl print from an old Creative Kit.

I then stacked a number of cardstock and chipboard stickers…

as well as paper ephemera, some of which were adhered foam tape…

and sandwiched them all between a trio of cardstock and chipboard lemons.  A scattering of an old Creative Kit’s soft green sequins and a little, handwritten journaling complete the look.

Here are a few more of the projects that I created using the May Creative Kit.  I’d love for y’all to stop by my instagram @loftydesignsbyjinny for a closer look!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  As always, I cannot wait to see what y’all cook up this month!  Be sure to stop by the blog, as well as our Design Team Gallery, for lots more amazing inspiration with every last one of the May kits.  Until next month, happy scrapping!
