12 Kits of Occasions: May~ June Celebrations

It's 12 Kits time, and this month we feature all the celebrations of June

courtesy Tracey McNeely. Tracey sent us a whole host of images for

dads, grads, teachers, and those we want to thank.

I'm starting off with this Father's Day card for my hubs,

The reveal wheel says it all. As you turn the wheel, a new sentiment is revealed.

Next up, a card for a teacher.

My grandson will give this to his teacher. I love the sentiment!

Tracey included this Gerbera Daisy, I colored with copics. 

Another Thank you card built around the letters that spell 'thanks'. The Concord & 9th

feathers border a panel that is a C9 turnabout I had in my stash.

And one more card celebrating a child's graduation.

Hope you're ready for summer, and summer's special celebrations. And

hope you found some inspiration today.

Lots more on the other 12 Kits blogs!

Thank you, Tracey! Loved every bit, especially all the fabulous plaid papers!

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: March - Many Thanks

Welcome to the March post for 12 Kits of Occasions!

Our hostess this month is Jessica Davis, and she gave us a kit 

full of whimsy and wonderful papers and a whole lot of thank you!

Talk about fun... well just have a look,

Leading off with my favorite, 

Those cute little owls took on attitude with coloring, and I just loved perching them on a 

shaker with one of Jessica's sentiments.

Jessica included a whole bunch of fabulous pattern paper I cut into strips to weave as a 

bg for my little Indian cub. I added a couple of arrows from Papertrey's You Have My Heart.

Another sentiment cut with an oval die, and PTI's Banner.

This little sweetie was inspired by one of my granddaughters Noelle.

She's never without a little buddy.

OK, confession time. I finished coloring my Concord & 9th unicorn, only to flub up tail.

Couldn't bear to toss it, so began adding bling, and more bling and yet MORE bling. 

I just know my little Noelle will think it's super special BECAUSE of all that bling!

Mama Elephant: Landscape Trio

Maybe should'a stopped at the glitter!

My last card is this sweet pair, and their appreciation, which is just what I wanted to 

end with, my appreciation for your visit! 

Thank You Jessica, loved every bit!

You're in for a treat with the other designers.

I got a sneak peek, and looks like we all had a blast with this kit! 

Happy Easter all!

Snow

Winter fun is the theme at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge.

Sledding Snowman from Serendipity Stamps provided the perfect

winter activity!

1st stamped in Versamark, and embossed in white my snowman image.

 Then inked the bg with PTI's Aqua Mist &Spring Rain.

Stamped and embossed the snowman again and copic colored, & fussy cut him.

Popped him up with foam.

Also popped up the Wonky stitched rectangle.

Added hi lights in Shabby Blue embossing enamel.

Snow die also from Serendipity.
