12 Kits of Occasions: May '18 You're a Good Egg

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of May, and 12 Kits of Occasions, where you

are treated to 12 designer friends and their creations! 

This month I'm hostess, and my kit is themed 'You're a Good Egg'.

My husband and I live on 2 1/2 acres and raise chickens for their eggs.

By day they roam the homestead, and at night are snugly tucked into their coop.

To say they've won our hearts is an understatement! We affectionately call them 'the girls',

and have to say, we smile each time we crack open an egg!

And with that in mind, may I present this month's kit... full of chickens and eggs and 

hopefully a few 'cluckles'!

You'll see lots of Lawn Fawn this month, especially their set, 'Hay There', and some of 

their wonderful papers.

I've invited 2 friends this month, Colleen Foelker, and Linda Snodgrass.

Be sure to drop by and give 'em some love!

So get comfy, put your feet up, grab a cuppa, and enjoy. There's a whole lot of 

crafty country to see!

Remember, all products are listed on the 12 Kits' products page.

And one more note: I'm an affiliate for PapertreyInk. All their products I used are

hi-lighted and are a direct link to their shop. If you like something I used, I'd love it

if you use my link up. Thanks!

It's all about farm life with my box card made with Lawn Fawn's sweet images!

The scene was made using Lawn Fawn's Scallop Pop Up Box Card die set.

Included in the kit was Lawn Fawn's Simple Grassy Hillsides...

can't wait to see how my teammates used it!

Adore these sweet Lawn Fawn ducklings!

Papertrey Ink - Tag Sale #9 Die Collection (set of 2)

Papertrey Ink - Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical Die

These 'farm fresh' images from Carta Bella are mounted around

Papertrey Ink - Shape Shifters: Oval 1 Die

and stamped with Text & Texture: Roses Stamp Set

Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper. I had the stitched square and rectangles left over from 

the pop up box. Skillet & egg carton: Cottage Cutz.

I saw these chicks from Stampin' Up on Pinterest and had to add them to my stash. You can 

still get them on eBay, but be forewarned... they're pricey. See the one with the funky hair?

That's chick attitude. LOVE it! Oh, and btw, Those are real feathers off my girls, discarted

not plucked. The grandkids love to collect them from the coop.

Chicken Wire, hen & egg also Stampin' Up.

Last card is some ombre inking over a Cottage Cutz die set. 

Papertrey Ink - Bold Borders: Shine Die

Hope you enjoyed a bit of card making country style, and hope you

visit the 12 Kits designers for more fun on the farm!

Hugs, y'all!

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!

Thanks a Bunch

I look forward to Mondays and PapertreyInk's MIM.

Lots of time to enjoy the video by designer, Betsy Veldman,

and to make a card with her instructions to Mask & Stack.

Searching through my PTI sets for something that could be masked, I came upon the flamingo

in Some Like it Hot Stamp Set Added a few fronds from Tropics Stamp Set, and done.

Sentiment: Concord & 9th's Petals and Pallets.

I looked for 'a bunch' from my stash of PTI sets, and couldn't find that particular sentiment.

Thought it would be the perfect saying for my stack of flamingos.

Plenty of PTI 'thanks' in my collection, but not sure of where 'a bunch' was

Do you know of a set that has, 'a bunch'? 

Inks are mostly PTI, Berry Sorbet ,  Pale Peony, Lovely Lady. 

Added a pink from Memento: Angel Pink, and The Ton's Coralline.
