My Irish Rose

Greetings, Darklings!

Back in 2017, I had made this St. Patrick’s Day kit,
but never posted it on my blog. An oversight, is my best guess.

While adding some updated kits into my shop, I
did managed to get this kit updated and added there…
so now I’m going to make a post for it.

‘My Irish Rose’ is a lovely St. Patrick’s Day kit filled with 75 Elements, 14 papers & 6 frames in pretty peaches, light yellow/ pale golds & lush greens. This is the perfect kit for some fab St. Patty’s Day tags.

The papers are 900 X 900 px.​

*This is an updated kit. I have just changed the papers to be 900 X 900 px. The only other change is the way it is zipped (I have changed the naming of the elements, etc. to reflect the way I am currently naming items in my kits). Also the preview is different with my current ‘template’ for my previews. -Magik 2/27/2023

This kit can currently be found in my own little ‘shop’, here.

*** Please respect my TOU in the zipfile-
NO sharing, No ripping, no reselling,
No stealing the colour palette &
please No claiming as your own.
Thank you.<3

I enjoy seeing your creations with my kits. =)

You can send them to me at:

(remove the brackets in my email.)

I’ll get them posted for you in the Creative Cafe part of my forum. 😊

Thank you for reading. Have a great day!
Stay safe & make good choices! 💖

No AI in MBM Kits

I have been seeing a lot of stuff posted from various Kit/ CU Designers & taggers about the use of AI generated ‘art’ in kits. It is another shit storm in the land of PSP.

For me, personally, I won’t be using AI for the few kits I make & add to my Shoppe. I think the AI generated stuff is just ‘too much’ in appearance. Also, it requires too much time into using it- such as researching the original source(s) of the AI art that’s been made. And not knowing- or in some cases not being able to find the original source of the items makes me question the Copyright Compliance of it all. Sure, it’s pretty or neat looking, but at what expense?

Unfortunately, a few weeks ago I bought some CU packs that I didn’t know were AI at the time, as they were not marked as such. Now I’m pretty sure it was AI generated elements so I won’t be using them anytime soon. A waste of my money, but oh, well.

For those Designers who wish to use AI elements, etc. in their kits- that is fine… I have seen the POV of ‘evolving with the times’, and they can do what they feel they must to continue sales of their kits. However, for me- if it makes me boring or ‘unevolved’ as a Designer myself, so be it. I have a job outside of making kits. I don’t rely on kit sales for my main income. That being said, I also don’t have time to research the original source of AI items. Making my kits the ‘safe, boring’ way suits me just fine & I’m okay with that.

As always, thank you for reading.
Have a great day!
