Memory Makers Digital Craft Kits are more than just files—they’re little treasure troves of creativity designed to help you make meaningful, heartfelt pieces that last a lifetime. Whether you're crafting for yourself, for loved ones, or to sell your handmade creations, this guided walk will take you through our latest kit Blue Christmas and how to get the best from every pixel and paper cut.
💻 Step 1: Get Set with the Right Tools
Before you dive into your kit, make sure your crafting setup is ready:
- Software: You don't need any special software all of the files in this kitxare in peg format so as long as your computer/ tablet reads these files you just need to open them and print.
- Hardware: A cutting machine (Scan and Cut, Cricut, Silhouette, etc.), a good printer , and quality cardstock and paper of different types will elevate your final product.
- Organizing Tools: I store all of my kits on uses. You may want to put them all on one USB or you may want a different USB for each category such as Christmas, Travel, Botanical etc.
📂 Step 2: Unpack and Explore the Files
Open the digital kit folder and take time to explore. You'll typically find:
- Perfect Pictures
- Decorative Papers
- Envelopes and Pockets
- Embellishments and more
The Kit and it's contents are all inside of one big folder so it is easy to find when you want to use it.
🎨 Step 3: Plan Your Project
What story do you want to tell? What emotion do you want to evoke? Whether you're making a handmade card, scrapbook page, or home decor:
- This kit has Christmas Designs with a blue theme so look for cardstock and embellishments that will compliment this theme.
- Match designs to the occasion—look for motifs or phrases that connect with your message
- Sketch a rough layout or mock up before committing. You can also find lots of free card and scrapbook sketches on the Internet. They are great for inspiration.
🛠️ Step 4:Digital kits are powerful because they’re flexible:
- Combine layers in unique ways
- Add your own text for personalization, use stamps from your collection, or print out your own sentiments to suit the occasion. You can also use peel off sentiments, die cuts, or sentiments cut using your cutting machine.
Don't be afraid to go off-script. Your creative twist is what makes it memorable.
✉️ Step 5: Assemble with Intention
Print, cut, and assemble with care:
- Use foam pads or layered embellishments to add depth
- Incorporate stitching, ribbons, or real textures alongside digital layers
- Let each piece communicate something personal—whether it's nostalgia, gratitude, or celebration
Crafting slowly and mindfully can make the experience just as meaningful as the final piece.
📸 Step 6: Share & Inspire
Finished your masterpiece? Share it!
- Snap a photo and post in the Memory Makers Facebook Group, crafting communities or on your blog
- Use #memorymakers and let me see what you have made and to spread to spread the love of the kit
- Write a mini story about the piece—what inspired you and who it’s for
And if you're thinking about crafting for profit, this is a great way to build your brand and connect with kindred spirits.
Memory Makers Digital Craft Kits are truly more than files—they’re invitations to pause, create, and connect. So open that folder with intention, and let your creativity bloom. 🌸
Most of all enjoy this kit.
