Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for August 2026! This month's we are sharing ideas that are all created using kits from the Online Exclusives Kits Collection. Did you know that each month there at least two new kits introduced in our Kits Collection? You really need to check them all out, as they are amazing.
So my project tonight is made using the Washes of Gratitude Kit -
167823 WASHES OF GRATITUDE KIT $19.00
This kit makes 10 beautiful cards - 5 each of 2 designs; and the sentiments come preprinted. At this point in time I do not need more thank you's; but I absolutely love this set, so I changed it up a bit. Using the green card base as my starting pointing and then making a few changes to make it my own -
What I needed was birthday cards - so here is what I changed up - 1) I used my Darling Duckling Blends to add some yellow color to the white flower spray and the white sequins in the kit. 2) I added a tiny flagged end to the right side of the yellow grid pattern piece. 3) I punched a 1 3/4" circle from Peaceful Pine to back my sentiment. 4) I turned both of the sentiment pieces over and stamped the sentiments I wanted using Peaceful Pine Ink. The sentiments I used were from the Banner Sayings and Framed Violets sets.
You can compare the two cards and see the subtle differences, and it was easy peasey to do. Now I have the birthday card I need on a beautiful kit card and it was completed in about 10 minutes.
Hope this gives you some inspiration and also gets you to check out some of the amazing kits online.
So now, take a few minutes and hop on through all the blogs below for more ideas - and be sure to leave comments!!
