12 Kits of Occasions: May '20 - April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions, May post! 

How could it possibly be June 1st tomorrow???

This year is flying by... maybe that's good, as far as what's going on?

Clovis, CA is officially open, and things are almost normal.  

Meanwhile, card making never slows down!

May's 12 Kits is being brought to us by my dear friend, Marcia Hill, 

marciasstampingpad

and is called April Showers Bring May Flowers.

Marcia sent us floral images, sweet little ladies, and lovely designer papers.

I had a ball putting all my 7 cards together!  Take a look...

Leading off with Stampingbella, and a Thinking of You card. This sweet Townie Tiny

Garden Girl is colored with Copics. The Greetery: Thinking of You.

Mandy's Flowers (Simon Says Stamps) colored with watercolor pencils, 

and Pierced Oval Frame from PTI.

Marcia made this card come together in a snap. The PTI tulips came already 

stamped in red, and the dp included in kit. I triple embossed the frame with

silver powder, and added a few drops. 

Oh how I love this sweet Snowdrop girl! I double girlie framed her, and added 

it to a stamped card I had in my stash (the Greetery).

Marcia included the bokeh dp, and I stamped on the sentiment and dandelions, adding

one fussy cut bloom that was white embossed onto vellum.

You just simply cannot have enough birthday cards handy, especially ones that can 

double as masculine. Don't you agree?

OK, I just love how this card turned out. The die cut (Pinkfresh Studios) was copic

colored before adding to a strip of dp. A bit of blacksplattering and novo drops and

done!

Last  card  was a silver embossed image from Penny Black, I watercolored with

Azteca pens. Double frame from Penny Black.

Thanks for coming by and hopefully adding a comment. 

And thanks to Marcia, for simply sunny florals to brighten my 

sheltered spring!

Love to all of you trying to stay safe and  well!

12 Kits of Occasions: June 'Summer Fun'

Is it really June 30th? Half the year gone! Well, it's time to celebrate summer.

And our sweet friend Birgit Norton has a summer kit to kick off all things Fun

 in the Sun!

Just a quick note: if you fall in love with anything you see, we have a 

supplies list on the 12 Kits Blog.

OK, let's celebrate summer!

This sweet cutie is enjoying her day at the beach.

The papers Birgit included inspired every card!

Loved coloring this bird with copies.

Also colored this duo with copics.

Talk about tropical flair... love this set from PTI.

Seriously live in flip flops ALL summer!

Had to turn one of the sentiment cards into a shaker, topped with these slices

of watermelon, included in the kit.

6 cards and still more to play with later.

A big thank you to Birgit for an over the top summer kit, And to

our favorite composer of arranging our kit photo, Lindsey, as always

thank you!

Hope you enjoyed our summer kit, and hope you visit all the 

designers and give them some love.

Thanks for the visit!
