12 Kits of Occasions: A New Year of Birthdays

 


Hello, and welcome! Tracey McNeely is our hostess for January 2021. And her 
bright happy kit was filled for all things birthday. Have a look, but be warned, this
post is not for a quick look and be gone... I used just about ALL of Tracey's goodies
for 7 cards! A perfect kit to stock up on much needed birthday cards!


Many of the cards I make are for my crafty friends. The card above will come in handy!


If this colors don't brighten someone's day, I can't imagine what would!


The pinwheels and 'happy' were included in the kit. Fortunately I had the stencils to add 
a bit more celebration.


This sweet present laden bear was a hoot to color! I just used the colors from the
dp Tracey included in her kit.


All these letters that spell 'BIG' Birthday Wishes were in the kit. I stamped and colored 
them. 


What to do with the negative spaces? Make another card, of course!


The designer paper I received included a panel with this envelope. I carefully cut
along the flap line, and glued only along the rimmed edges for an actual 
working envelope. See below...


As the front flap is opened, a surprise...


The string, balloons and pinwheels were all in the kit! Stars and confetti in my stash.

Thank you Tracey! You're the best. I can't begin to tell you how I've treasured your 
kind and patient friendship. Always there to lovingly 'fix' a boo boo, or encourage
with sweet comments. As I opened the kit, I smiled. It was perfect! Full of just the
best, at the right time, (my birthday stash was depleted), reminding me what a 
treasure crafting friends are! 


Stay well, sweet friends! And craft on!

Paper Sweeties July Inspiration Challenge #21 - 'Patriotic Prints'


It's July 1st! And that means Paper Sweeties July Blog Hop!

Debbie has given us this inspiration photo,
with the sweetest patriotic prints and colors:


Here's my card to inspire.


Emma is dressed in her strawberry summer jumper from Thanks Berry Much.
The Banner is also from that stamp set.
'Celebrate' is from Beautiful.
Handmade pinwheels from festive papers.
The sticks are toothpicks I colored with copics.

The 4th is right around the corner.
Do you have big plans? 
Hope you enjoy the inspiration from the rest of the team, and find some
