12 Kits of Occasions July '19 Summer Fun

The end of July and time for 12 Kits of Occasions. This month our hostess is Marybeth

Lopez, from Marybeth's Time for Paper. And she sent us a kit full of summer's best!

Let's get right to it!

Lots of fun colorful papers from Echo Park. I fussy cut the word 'COOL' and used

my new frame dies from the Greetery. You'll see a lot more of them throughout my

post.

Nothing says summer like big bright blooms. These are Concord & 9th.

Marybeth sent a pale ink stamped image from Altenew, just perfect for 

the soft look of watercolor pencils.

We got 2 'hello' die cuts from Poppystamps. I popped up this green one onto a weave of the

 pretty EchoPark papers. The black dotty paper is actually Altenew's Washi tape on a piece

 of PTI's Berry Sorbet cardstock.

This one started out with the best intentions. I thought it would be fun to dress up the 

top popsicle to look like it was melting. Glossy Accents would do the trick... 

didn't exactly work the way I'd hoped. Oh well...

This final card is a thank you to Marybeth for a kit full of summer fun!

Enjoy all the posts from the 12 Kits' friends, and enjoy your summer!

Hope it's full of crafty goodness!

The Best Summer Ever

12 Kits of Occasions: June 'Summer Fun'

Is it really June 30th? Half the year gone! Well, it's time to celebrate summer.

And our sweet friend Birgit Norton has a summer kit to kick off all things Fun

 in the Sun!

Just a quick note: if you fall in love with anything you see, we have a 

supplies list on the 12 Kits Blog.

OK, let's celebrate summer!

This sweet cutie is enjoying her day at the beach.

The papers Birgit included inspired every card!

Loved coloring this bird with copies.

Also colored this duo with copics.

Talk about tropical flair... love this set from PTI.

Seriously live in flip flops ALL summer!

Had to turn one of the sentiment cards into a shaker, topped with these slices

of watermelon, included in the kit.

6 cards and still more to play with later.

A big thank you to Birgit for an over the top summer kit, And to

our favorite composer of arranging our kit photo, Lindsey, as always

thank you!

Hope you enjoyed our summer kit, and hope you visit all the 

designers and give them some love.

Thanks for the visit!

12 Kits of Occasions Party in the Park February '19

Welcome to February's 12 Kits' Post! I'm excited because this month I'm the hostess,

with a kit to celebrate the hope of spring... and a 'Party in the Park'. Outdoors,

friends and family and plenty of sunshine!

LOTS of cards, so let's get started...

1st off is a piñata from Pretty Pink Posh. Love the fact that you can go crazy with color.

He's hanging on a frame from PTI: Shape Shifters Square. The paper wasn't quite

bright enough, so touched up a bit with matching copics.

All this month's kits' supplies are on the 12 Kits blog, by the way.

The paper dictated this card's elements. Fussy cut flowers and a big 'hooray' from Spellbinders.

Color on the PTI shapeshifters die courtesy of Magicals.

A look back when carousels were in the center of fine parks. Used my metallic 

watercolors for the seahorse, and colored the waves with copics.

Echo Park provided the balloon paper, PTI the frame and ballon shaker.

This carousel unicorn in pink is perfect for a girl's birthday!

The rose papers were included, and I combined them for this 'celebrate' card. One rose

paper for the background, and one fussy cut to surround the sentiment.

My favorite is this window tag I included in the kit, (PPP) with Altenew roses.

When you open the shutters, the words 'happy birthday to you' are inside from 

one of the double sided papers.

Lastly, I included this little present bearing otter from Lawn Fawn.

Not sure if he belongs in a 'park', but I just loved him, and

had to pass the die cut on to my 12 Kits friends. After all, isn't he celebrating?

That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed February's kit. I loved gathering a bit of 

Spring to share with my friends and all of you friends too. 

Be sure to visit all of the designers on the blog. I can't wait to see what they've done

with the kit! 

12 Kits of Occasions: September '18

Hello! And welcome to September's 12 Kits of Occasions!

A big BIG THANK YOU, Lindsey for our monthly kit photos!

Kim Higgins, from Cupcakes Cards and Kim, is our hostess this month, 

and she gave us all the above sea themed goodies.

Under and Over that is! If it swims or floats, it was in our package.

Kim has a guest this month, one of our own, Joyce Mehrberg.

Be sure to visit her, Joyce always wows with her creations!

Starting off with 2 mermaids and a shaker.

I so love MFT's Mermazing Mermaids! Had to give them a shaker to float on!

Those are Poppystamps' Mermaid sequins, and PTI's Pierced Oval frame.

The darling mermaid paper, and sentiment were in the kit.

Hard to see in the big photo, but there's a bit of Sheer Shimmer Spray on the mermaids.

Ellen Hudson's Otters are on VaCa, and sending all of you 'Oceans of Love'.

I LOVED coloring the images to suit the papers Kim sent us.

PTI Scallop Frame.

Just had to give baby otter his own setting, and use that adorable sentiment!

PTI Reef Builders & Pierced Rectangle Frame.

Fish and shells included in the kit.

Kim also included the blue enamel dots. Just perfect for bubbles!

My girl on a raft has been floating a bit longer than she should, and has quite the tan.

Where's her sunscreen?! Oh, I can remember using baby oil to accelerate tanning in

my 'younger' days. Who ever thought skin needed protection???

The scallop frame was the piece left over from PTI's Scallop die cut.

Girl, seriously, at least wear a sunhat!

That's it for me! A big happy thank you, Kim for a kit I loved!

Hope you enjoyed, and hope you'll visit each of the 12 Kits' gals!

And don't forget to say 'hi' to Joyce!
