Hello, everyone!
As the seasons change, our Creative Club continues to amaze us with their endless imagination. This August, our talented makers have been busy crafting everything from sparkling Christmas cards and summer-bright layouts to thoughtful handmade gifts and keepsakes. Each project shows just how versatile Rosie’s Studio papers, diecuts, and embellishments can be when paired with a little creativity.
What we love most is how every crafter puts their own spin on our collections. So whether it’s turning simple diecuts into one-of-a-kind embellishments, building grid layouts that hold a whole story, or designing cards that sparkle with festive cheer. These projects are proof that scrapbooking and cardmaking can capture both the everyday and the extraordinary.
Take a look through August’s creations and see what ideas you might borrow for your own craft desk. From quick and simple touches to detailed designs, there’s something here to inspire every style.

Of course, we can’t possibly fit every amazing project here! For even more, don’t forget to check out our dedicated Creative Club Member Instagram Highlights and YouTube Playlist.
Lovely Layouts
Let’s start off with our scrapbookers! It might be a coincidence, or maybe it’s a trend, but Grid designs are having a moment in our Creative Club! This month we’ve seen so many clever ways to use grids. Each crafter has made the style their own, proving just how versatile a grid can be. If you are new to scrapbooking then creating a grid layout can feel like a more approachable way to start. And if you are sitting on a stash of smaller papers, then it’s a great way to use those up!
@vanessabell77 | Wildwood
Vanessa’s layout shows just how flexible grid designs can be. Each square becomes its own little canvas, where you can add photos, journaling, or embellishments. If you’d like to give this style a try, she’s even shared a tutorial on YouTube.
@suesmith7900 | Jubilee
Sue’s layout is such a beautiful showcase of her photo. Everything around it supports and frames it gently, letting the picture take centre stage. It feels like a party made of paper!
@scrap_beck | One of a Kind
By arranging her photos and papers in playful circles, Mariana has packed in so much detail without the page feeling crowded. Instead it feels joyful and full of movement. It’s such a happy way to capture memories.
@craft_and_roll | Nurtured
This grid layout feels calm, balanced, beautifully put together…and it’s proof that sometimes structure is your best friend. Despite there being different patterned papers in the background, they don’t distract you from the beautiful expressions caught in these photos.
@sheshed_scrapper | Keeping Cool
This might not technically be a grid layout, but Melanie’s 12×12″ layout tutorial uses rectangular strips of paper to create an effective background for her summer fun layout.
@sheshed_scrapper | Brand New Day
It’s posts like this that reminds us that crafting is all about community. We share so much of our lives with eachother through photos and our art, and we should all feel lucky to have a space in which we feel supported and encouraged to d express all the real parts of our lives. Melanie’s 12×12″ layout is more than a page. It’s a celebration of strength and awareness. With purple for Epilepsy Awareness, she’s crafted something that feels strong, and full of positivity. It’s scrapbooking at its most meaningful..
Let's Go Back To School
Back-to-school season arrived for many of you, and our Creative Club has found the sweetest ways to make it extra special. These projects are perfect for staying organised and celebrating the excitement of a fresh start.
@helloitsmeroxie | Work of Heart
This is just the cutest back-to-school duo: a pencil-shaped gift box and a crayon mini album. The gift box is perfect for stationery or hiding a first-day-at school treat, while the mini album is a keepsake for those end of holiday memories. Together they make back-to-school time feel fun, thoughtful, and truly memorable.
@tanlindascrap | Work of Heart
Make back-to-school time both fun and practical with a colourful journal that can double as a to-do list to stay organised or as an album to capture the excitement of a new school term. It’s bright, cheerful, and full of possibilities just like the year ahead!
It's All in the Details
Ribbon, tulle, tassels, buttons, bows, and blooms. These projects prove that when it comes to embellishing, more really is more.
@creativelyblessedana | Belleview
Ana has created a stunning series of projects that show just how versatile the Belleview collection can be. Her elegant altered easel is a wonderful idea for a decor piece. Why not craft one instead of using a photo frame next time you have a picture you want to display? Together with delicate tags, layered frames, and a pocket page, they create a collection of keepsakes that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

@pricklypinkcrafter | Born to Bloom
This mini book is perfect for a paper lover or a bookworm. So many of us are used to working on a flat surface that this project really does stand out. Imagine how much fun you’ll have tucking little surprises among the pages!
@lovelettergeneration | Pink Peppermint
This tag flip is festive, layered, and bursting with charm. Tag flips aren’t just about tags. It’s about creating something that draws you in to discover what’s hiding under each layer. So dig out your ribbons, fabrics, glitter, foam, tassels, bells and all your playful pieces!
@prettypinkposh | Very Merry
Two words describe these sweet little fry-boxes…Merry and Bright! Once you’ve had fun crafting and decorating these boxes, then you get the added joy of filling them with holiday delights. there are literally so many possibilities.
@shlink | Fanciful
Roxanne’s junk journal pages are free, expressive, and full of soul. A journal can be cohesive or you can use it is a space to reflects a mood through colour, collage, and writing, creating a piece that’s deeply personal. It’s a beautiful reminder that crafting is as much about the journey as the outcome.
@whatkerrimakes | In The Neighbourhood
When is a gift box not a box? Kerri has crafted a clever little treat holder that hides something special inside. Projects like these are so much more fun that gift wrap!
@little_pink_crafter | Pink Peppermint
This altered clipboard is such a delightful idea. I mean, why stop at layouts and cards? Louise has transformed something everyday into a creative keepsake that feels playful and festive.
@cherylgdesigns | Keeping Cool
Cheryl has captured the fun of summer with these Ferris wheel shaker embellishments. They’re playful, interactive, and would look amazing on a layout, card, or even a party invitation. It’s the kind of detail that makes you smile the moment you see it.
@en.modo.scrap | Hello Honey
This album is abuzz with so much detail! Bingo-style journal cards have been added to the edge of each page to create a staggered look that gives so much room for diecuts. The layers create movement and variety, so every flip of the page feels new. It’s a brilliant way to keep your album playful and engaging. Click here to flip through every page!
@little_pink_crafter | Midnight Moonlight
This topper with its layered rosette might be a a small embellishment but it makes a big impact with all its dimension and personality. Pieces like this are perfect for your happy mail, using as cake toppers, or just because you want to make something irresistibly cute!
Card Creations!
There’s something so special about receiving a handmade card. Unlike one picked up in a shop you’ll find a piece of the crafter’s heart in every detail. This month, our club members have been celebrating birthdays and getting a head start on their Christmas card lists, showing that handmade cards are little gifts all on their own.
@marinamanioti | Pink Peppermint
Marina’s set of Christmas cards are just bursting with holiday sweetness. Best of all, she shares how to make each one in her quick and easy tutorials, so you can follow along and create your own. From left to right:
Card #1: You’ll want to watch how easy it is to make a shaker card using a chipboard frame!
Card #2: Marina trimmed the front of her card shorter than the back, leaving space for a gorgeous decorative edge. Open it up and you’ll see how washi stickers add a soft layer of detail.
Card #3: Craft a card that truly sparkles by using ink and adding a hand-glittered border to a simple design.

Sweet and Simple
To round up our August projects we just wanted to share @loulou_crafts_ sweet embellishments. We think you’ll agree they prove sometimes simple is best. By adding buttons to diecuts, and finishing off these minimal white rosettes with wax seal stickers, Louise has used the Jubilee collection to craft pieces that are effortlessly effective and endlessly versatile for layouts, cards, albums and happy mail.
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started, we hope these Creative Club projects have sparked lots of new ideas for you. Don’t forget to show our talented members some love with a like, follow, or subscribe or thank them for sharing such wonderful inspiration with a positive comment.
