Hello friends! I had the honor of getting to use the very first Crafty Courtyard monthly subscription box by Pink & Main. The kit went on sale February 23rd and will start shipping March 15th. As with most monthly kits, there are a limited number available.
*UPDATE* The kit is now SOLD OUT.
Go HERE to see everything that’s included in the kit.
The March theme is It’s a Party. It’s a bright and cheerful collection that is perfect for masculine or feminine celebration or general cards.
I made 20 cards using the March subscription box by Pink & Main.
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Most products used are from the March Pink & Main Subscription Box. I did include some additional card stock, ink, dies, and a few other items from my craft stash.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home and the newer Mojo Monday sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using the March Subscription Box by Pink & Main.

Wow! You've been super busy, Kristie. These are some cheerful and festive cards. Bright colors and great sketches! I like that shaker. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and doing ALL that you do. You are amazing!
What a fun new kit–I love that it comes in a pouch! Great cards–very cheerful and fun. Have you ventured out of your house lately? With all the videos you have made recently, it seems like you must be trapped in your craft room! lol. Thank you for another great video, great cards and inspiration, and giving me another thing to put on my wish list!
These are great cards Kristie! Fun colors and fun designs. Thanks for sharing, your tutorials have turned me into a card maker!
On a separate note, and I apologize for asking here, but I couldn't figure out any other way to reach out to you (new to blog navigation), I am trying to find an active link for Operation Write Home to donate cards, and everything I am finding takes me to a link that appears to be inactive. Do you have anything current for them? Thanks in advance!
Looking forward to your next card tutorial,
Becca
Thanks, Jeanne! I have been a bit busy in my craft room lately. So many fun paper collections and card kits to use. 🙂 The local charity I give cards to really needs some gender neutral birthday cards. These will be perfect!
Thanks, Jennifer! I love the cute Pink & Main pouch included in the kit. Perfect for storing some fun craft goodies.
Lol! I'm not trapped in my craft room. Although I have been in there more than any other room lately. Plus, the weather hasn't exactly been great. My To-Do video list is quite long and I can't seem to make it any shorter. But I'm having a lot of fun. 🙂
Thank you, Becca! I'm so glad I can provide some inspiration for you. I find making cards is quite relaxing.
Operation Write Home is no longer open or accepting donations. The organization closed in 2015. I still use their card sketches, but even their website is no longer active. I have all their sketches on a Pinterest board. I now donate my cards locally to retirement homes and small charities.
