March 12 Kits of Christmas


This month the host of the 12 Kits of Christmas is Suzanne: thecardyard.
 Suzanne sent us so many wonderful items in our kit.
Papers, ribbon (beautiful ribbon) and much more. Below is a picture 
taken by Kara: KandRDesigns We sorta designated Kara as our group
 photographer, as she always had one ready for someone who 
forgot to take a picture. 
Fun stuff! We each get the same kit, then make a card using
at least four items from the kit. It always amazes me how different
 the cards are that we come up with.

  6. Wow Marybeth - you made 5! I want to see that last one!!! You did an incredible job with these. We used all different things :) Your snowman is adorable with that row of buttons, the solid red ribbon that you wove like Christmas Candy - brilliant! And that big knot in the striped ribbon make everything so festive and fun! I like the frame with the Christmas tree - glad I saved everything - you gave me some great inspiration for a few more from this kit!

  10. Marybeth what an amazing job you did this month! I think that my favorite is the snowman card. I just love all those buttons lined up in a row on the right side and the coloring you did on him. But the last card is gorgeous, so traditional, and I love that sparkly looking paper. All the different ways you used the ribbons on your cards is just amazing, I love the ruffled technique!

  11. Gorgeous cards, Marybeth! I wound up not using the shimmer paper but will have to go back and give it a try. It looks fantastic with the swirl tree. The pleated ribbon looks wonderful, too. I still have lots of beautiful ribbon left, so I'll have to CASE some of your ideas with my remaining supplies!
