Make It Monday Groovy Card

Happy Monday y’all!  Polly Robin here with a super, super quick card for our Make It Monday hybrid project.  I found out at the last minute (as in that morning!!!) that we needed a birthday card for a new friend.  Does this ever happen to you?  Your kids just quickly let you know in passing that they need a card that day?  Or is that just me??!!

Any hoo….. I needed one and found out that the teen’s favorite colors were gold and teal.  Thankfully I remembered the MPM Groovy had these colors and got to work.

Really, all I did was print off one of the pattern papers, one of the solid papers, and two elements – I didn’t even take this project into Photoshop!  After cutting a 4.25” x 5.50” card front from the paper, I glued it to a recycled card and then fussy cut the sentiment and flower.  Thankfully I had a great Happy Birthday die cut which I cut out of the solid color and then put that on the card front as well, and voila – the card was done!

What do you think about this one for a last-minute card?

I hope you get an idea of how easy card making is with the MPM kits and try making a card as well!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
