Playing With The March Cherry Box

Hi everyone! This week I am working with some special products because I received my very first Cherry Box from A Cherry on Top crafts. I know there’s subscription boxes for everything these days: makeup, clothes, candy, etc. I was skeptical when I heard there was a box for scrapbooking since I already own more crafting supplies (paper especially) than I could ever hope to use, and wasn’t sure if what would come in the box would be something I would actually use. I received a subscription as a Christmas gift and finally got around to activating it last month. My first box came last week and I was delighted with what came inside. I tried to incorporate as many products as possible into this week’s layout. My job was made a little easier since many of the products came from Amy Tangerine’s Brave and Bold collection so they had complimentary designs. You can see all the products I received in my Cherry Box below. P.S. I didn’t get paid to collaborate or promote these products. I just wanted to share how I used the products I received.

Most of the paper used on this page came from the Brave and Bold stack by American Crafts with a few added solid colored paper scraps to mat my photo. My title and the large circles all came from some large grid printed paper and I used my Fiskars circular squeeze punch to create circle details. A new product I had never used before was stencil butter by The Crafter’s Workshop. I hadn’t used any sort of texture paste or anything like that on my pages previously so this was totally new to me and a product I probably wouldn’t have bought for myself. I received the color Terre Verde which picked up some of the green tones in the Amy Tangerine papers. A 12 X 12 stencil template also by The Crafter’s Workshop was included and I used the stencil butter to fill in some of the circular shapes both before and after gluing down my photo and embellishments. Some matching Brave and Bold stickers, some colorful bows by Recollections, and various circular brads and punches complete this vibrant page.

This page was created for the Sketches in Thyme March challenge. I kept the single photo layout and the circle motif, although I mixed stencils with paper punches for more variety. I also used the Brave and Bold pens that came in my box and replicated the dashed line squiggles in the original sketch.

This page was also created for the More Than Words March challenge. I used a Shakespeare quote from a DCWV vellum quote stack and created a tag behind it out of textured cardstock.

That’s all for this week. You can find me on YouTube and Instagram at thescrapattack for more crafting content.
