If you’re looking for fresh ways to use My Spring 2026 SBC Fest Kit, I’ve got a fun project to share! Yesterday, I went live on YouTube and created this bright and cheerful balloon-themed “Hey You” card using supplies from my kit—plus a few favorite inks for bold color blending.
This project is a great example of how you can extend the life of your SBC Fest Kit and create something completely new beyond the original class designs.

Stretch Your SBC Fest Kit for More Card Ideas
One of the best things about all of the Scrapbook.com SBC Fest Kits are how versatile they are. While I originally used this kit during SBC Fest on March 15th, this livestream shows how you can repurpose the same supplies to create an entirely different card design.
By simply changing up the color palette, layout, and theme, you can turn your kit into endless creative possibilities. This time, I swapped out the original project style and created a fun birthday-style balloon card—perfect for so many occasions!
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking out the SBC Fest replay as well. It’s packed with inspiration and techniques that you can continue to revisit as you use your kit.
Keep Creating Beyond the Kit 💡
I hope this project inspires you to think outside the box with your crafting kits. Supplies are meant to be used again and again in new ways—so don’t be afraid to experiment, mix things up, and make each project your own.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to catch the replay, and I’ll see you in the next livestream 🎨✂️
Happy Crafting!
