Products Used in This Project

March 2025 Main Kit (with Patterned Paper)

The March 2025 Main Kit (with Patterned Paper) provides the perfect foundation for Natsuko's mini album project.

The color palette for March features rich, harmonious tones that work beautifully together, making it easy to create a polished, professional-looking project. The papers have the perfect weight for album construction, sturdy enough to serve as pages but still flexible enough for folding and shaping as needed in a mini album format.

This intricate die creates beautiful floral patterns within a hexagon shape that Natsuko uses to add decorative elements throughout her album. The detailed design cuts cleanly through paper, creating delicate patterns that instantly elevate any project. In the video, you can see how Natsuko utilizes this die to create decorative overlays and embellishments that add visual interest and dimension to the album pages. The geometric yet floral design offers a perfect balance of structure and organic elements.
