12 Kits of Occasions January '19 - Good Fortune

Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions! We're a blog hop featuring a 

different kit each month by a different kit member. This month we 

received an Asian theme by our friend Jeanne Jackna with bright happy

papers, sweet Asian dolls and a kimono, fortune cookies... well come have a 

look. I made six cards, and have wonderful images left over to do more.

Jeanne included this die kimono which I backed with one of dp she sent. I fussy cut the 

flowers from the leftovers and foam mounted it onto a watercolor I painted.

 (Jeanne even sent watercolor card stock to make it easy!)

Gave these dolls a setting on a Poppystamps leafy plate.

I gave this doll her own setting on a Hero Arts die cut shaker colored with Magicals.

Couldn't help but pair the Chinese take out with a designer sushi & chopsticks paper! 

Added a handle to the box with a piece of wire bent and shaped. 

PTI Shape Shifters Square: 2 cut from Berry Sorbet Cardstock

This cutie was colored with copics and I added the pattern on her kimono.

The gold screen was a piece cut from a PTI Bold Borders: Arabesque die.

Jeanne sent the temple die, and gold coin, along with the embossed bg card stock. 

I added a bit of magicals to the temple, and mounted it on Pink Cardstock.

You're in for a treat this month.

We are welcoming a new member, Kara Lynn Pogreba! Can't wait to see 

 what she does with the kit. 

And Jeanne has invited not one, but 3 guests! 

All supplies are listed on the 12 Kits' blog.

Thanks for the visit! 

12 Kits of Occasions April '18

Hi friends! Welcome to 12 Kits' April post. This month's hostess is

Lisa Elton, from My Paper Tales, and what a sweety of a kit she gave us!

'My Little Chickadee' is the theme, with birds and feathers,  tweety sentiments,

and lots of gorgeous papers.

Are you settled in with a cuppa? Hope you enjoy my cards!

Lindsey included this stamped stem of flowers on kraft. Couldn't wait to pencil in the color.

PTI stencil dots on Aqua Mist cardstock.

Isn't he adorable? He's titled 'Choirboy', and he's from Past Time Stamps.

One of the most fun we friends have is combining elements in our kit. This Impression Obsession 

couple on the clothesline seemed perfectly matched to this sentiment!

PTI's Sunshine rays stencil.

All these elements were included in this month's kit, even those sweet little wood birds.

The twine is Lawn Fawn.

I cut a window in this pattern paper Lisa included, from PTI's Window Works die,

and fussy cut and copic colored the bird on the branch.

And finally this card, with a sentiment from Serendipity.

Hope you enjoyed the post today, I loved working with Lisa's kit,

and have plenty to do several more cards. Just the kind of kit I love!

Thank you Lisa!

Don't forget to visit the other kit designers. Always fun to see what they do with the same kit!

Hugs!

For You
