Create 6 pages with the Little One Cut Above Kit!

Earlier today, I posted the details of the Little One Cut Above kit as it was designed to be used. For those of you who prefer traditional scrapbooking, I’ve turned this kit into 3 two-page layouts by adding just a few sheets of cardstock.

You may recall that these kits include the materials needed to create one 2-page layout plus 12 cards (4″ x 6″) that you can put in the insert into pocket Memory Protectors along with your pictures. Although I love including pocket scrapbooking in my albums, I like to include my very favorite pictures on traditional pages. The cards include all the elements needed to create scrapbook pages: titles, embellishments (just trim them down) and journaling. 

Using the pocket cards included in the kit, plus a few sheets of White, Slate and Whisper cardstock, I created two BONUS layouts!

You are So Loved Layout

This layout was created by trimming a number of the journaling cards. The basic design of the pages started with three patterned cards which were cut into 2″ x 2″ blocks and stacked them across the bottom of both pages. A sentiment card (“you are so loved”) was trimmed down to 4″ x 4″ for the title. Additional cards were trimmed to create the embellishments, jounnaling and a photo mat. 

My Sweet Baby Layout

This layout also uses a pocket card for the title (“my sweet baby”). Two additional full sized cards are used in this layout. Additional cards were trimmed to create the arrow (“on this day”) and the ombre banners on each side. 

If you have any questions about these layouts, I’d be glad to send you measurements and additional tips. Comment below or drop me anemail. 

Don’t forget that the Little One Cut Above kit used for these layouts is half price during April — just $7.48! You’ll also want to check out the Forever & Always kit which is also on sale. Both of these kits retire at the end of the month (or sooner if supplies run out), so be sure to orders yours today!

Little One Cut Above Kit — Quick, Beautiful and now 50% off!

The current seasonal Idea Book introduced a new way to scrapbook called “Cut Above Kits”. There are currently two of these kits, but there are more on the way soon! (hint, hint…) Because they are tucked away in the back of the catalog, it is easy to skip over them as we look at the more familiar packaging of papers and embellishments.

But these kits really are gems and it’s the perfect time to give them a try because they on sale at 50% off through the end of April!  There are two kits to choose from: Little One and Forever & Always.

Let’s take a closer look at the Little One Cut Above Kit. This complete kit includes materials needed to make a 2-page scrapbook layout (die-cuts, stickers, & photo placeholders), 12 coordinating 4″x6″ pocket cards, 4 memory protectors (2 full size & 2 divided) plus instructions.

Because everything is already cut and ready to assemble, you can complete the layout with absolutely no fuss. Then add your remaining pictures and some of the decorative cards to the divided pages and “Viola!”, you have 6 scrapbooking pages done! Watch this ONE MINUTE video to see how quickly the pages go together.

Even though these pages are quick to assemble, they retain the look and feel of being handmade. If you are a decorative scrapbooker, they will fit beautifully with your other pages. If you are a simple or pocket scrapbooker, these pages can serve as title or focal pages in your books. The secret is the details like the printed resist/watercolor pattern on the base pages, unique circular page design and trendy banners in the corner.

If you are not a pocket scrapbooker, this kit gives you a chance to give it a try. Not only do you get the decorative cards, you also get two pocket scrapbooking Memory Protectors. You’ll love how easy it is to slide your photos and cards into these pages. 


These kits would make a perfect gift for a new mom or grandmother, even if she is not a scrapbooker.


Don’t forget that this kit is on sale in April for just $7.48! Also, it will retire along most of the products in the Seasonal Expressions Idea Book at the end of the month (or sooner if supplies run out), so be sure to orders yours today.
