12 Kits of Occasions: April


Let's Hear It For the Grad!

Welcome to April's 12 Kits of Occasions post!!!
We have a special kit from a special person, Kara Pogreba
I met Kara at a craft retreat last year and fell in love with her
talents and sweet personality!

Here's what I made with her kit


Leading off with a spinner. An AI Chair Spinner! 
Well, people our age have reasons to celebrate too!
Here's the back


So fun to color.


Next up, a couple of W+9 Going Places balloons


This one will go to a grandson graduating from pre-school this year.
Hard to see but touched up with a bit of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer.


Those are Lawn Fawn cookies, and couldn't resist capping the elephant.


Kara gave us the tassel, and the great gold embossed sentiment. Easy to add the flat 
sequins and create a shaker.


The silhouettes were included. Every bit of this card was included. What a fun 
grad card!


This one says it all. Congrats!

Thanks to Kara for helping me get ready for graduation time. 6 cards and 
plenty left over. Hope you got some inspiration for the grads in your life.
All products are listed on our post page. Be sure and make the rounds and
give some love to my teammies. 

Have a great week! And thanks for the visit!

  2. I am so excited about each one of your cards, Nancy! You do things I never think of, like the thin rainbow frame around your spinner, the tassel/hassle as a shaker, and those colorfully painted mortar boards! I love the basket detail/coloring on your hot air balloons, and the sentiment cut into a cloud! I am so smitten with the elephant standing in the grass, and the whole design of that card! I won't ask you how long it took to glue down all those flat sprinkle sequins, but the flowing movement of them along with the hats is just fantastic!

  3. Nancy, your cards always leave me wishing I could challenge your creative spirit. I adore the spinner card and really feel the need to color mine up and make one after seeing everyone's amazing cards. Your elephant card is totally adorable in every way. The shaker card is genius using the elements you did and so is that wonderful celebrate card at the end. Oh my! All those sprinkles definitely call for a celebration! Well done using Kara's kit.

  11. These are all SO amazing, Nancy! Love your spinner card. The gold polka dots and the rainbow frame are so wonderful. The critters in hot air balloons are adorable and the detail on the baskets and sentiment on a cloud was especially great touches. Your sweet elephant is another cutie with such fun detail on that design. And the last card is a real stunner! Can't imagine gluing down all the confetti but you've really created a perfect celebration design!!

  12. Nancy I love all of your fantastic cards. I knew you would tackle the spinner lady and the card is so much fun! Your colouring always impresses me. I really need to work more on mine. I LOVE the shaker card you made, you really made that sentiment pop by using it as a background--wow! Such a fun kit to work with and that is obvious with all your designs!
