12 Kits of Occasions: April - Happy Birthday


Happy last day of April everyone! And you know what that means? It's time for
the 12 Kits of Occasions. It's my turn to be hostess, and I've chosen birthdays as my
theme for the kit. As you know, a group of us formed a friendship card and project
blog that posts on the last day of each month. We can choose any theme we like
and send our friends a kit of goodies with that theme in mind. 
Birthdays are so special, and don't know about you, but can't have enough on hand. 
So let's get started, hope you enjoy my kit, Happy Birthday!


Leading off with a shaker that says it all.


I sent all the die cuts to create this C9 purse, but in white cardstock, and all
the trimmings in black shimmer. I covered the body of the purse with designer
paper, and painted the trims with bronze metallic watercolor. Simply love 
this die set. I hope the girls loved it too!


I backed the die cut panel with an alcohol inked piece I had in my stash.


C9's cake was stamped and ready to go for each gal. I added it to a card with
a Washi strip. 


Love these 'besties' from MFT


Included in the kit was this embossed birthday card and the sweet cupcake sticker.
I added it to MFT's cake plate and cake.


I stenciled this square panel from Altenew and included it in the kit, along with 
Spellbinders' Hip, hip, hooray in black. I embossed it with blue 
metallic powder twice. A 5 1/2" square, and handmade envelope.


Doubling embossing gives the die cut a metal look.


Can't wait to see what the others did with the kit. They're all so talented!
One sad note, I heard from Tracey McNeely, and she didn't get her kit. 
Might have been held up in customs, I just don't know. Anyway, hopefully
she'll use it and post at a later date. 

I know you've heard this often, but stay safe and well.
All product listed in Monthly Supplies on the blog.

  1. You honestly make the best kits Nancy and this one was no exception!! I had so much fun with it and am just thrilled to have ramped up my birthday stash! All of your cards are FANTASTIC and I can't even pick a favorite...well maybe the purse which is absolutely GORGEOUS and your tile card! I didn't even want to cover up my tile piece it was so pretty, but love how you just added the simple die cut that you embossed to look metallic and it's perfect! FABULOUS cards and a FANTASTIC kit Nancy...I loved it all!! Hugs! :0)

  2. Thank you again for such a happy wonderful kit! I enjoyed playing with it so much! I also enjoyed see your amazing projets ( works of art) The purse you made is stunning with every detail. Love the candle card with the beautiful ink blending panel behind each one , so gorgeous and flex of gold!!! I had so much fun playing with the purse die. Now that I see what you have done I wish I would have added a bit more to mine but I had already added the strap wrong. Thank you Nancy!
