Hello and welcome to the 12 Kits of Occasions monthly blog post.

This month our host is Kim Heggins

Kim sent out the cutest kit full of bright sunny colors, this kit was a joy to create with. Thanks sweet Kim (aka... Martha Stewart  :)

The card above I used everything in Kims kit but the stitched circle die, that's from : memory box Pinpoint Circle Frame

The card above also uses everything from Kims kit just added some glossy accents to the eyes and boat portholes.

I didn't realize that ( forgot to look) there was another's print on the other side of paper, I was so excited when I saw this cute little underwater scene.  I used the same : memory box Pinpoint Circle Frame. 

 I added my own sentiment from The Greetery, Birthday Blooms Stamp Set andBirthday Blooms Die. Also added glossy accents to the portholes on the sub. In person it just give a bit of texture and I think looks neat.

Please stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions blog for the other designers and list of kit supplies in the upper tab.

Hello and welcome to the 12 Kits of Occasions for June!

Michelle Is our host for the month of June, not sure how she put the kit together as she has so much going on in her life right now.

Michelle, you did it! 

I woke up early one morning and made all five cards in a row as I enjoyed this kit so much!

I took the pictures a little early in the morning and they are kinda dark, sorry.

Simon Says: Anything Goes

I cut some of the cardstock included in the kit with Halfsies Diamond Die from the Greetery! I cut the patterned paper down and added a bit of glossy accents.

For the card above I used Papertrey Ink Wood grain impression plate, cut and added the included gold embossed tree!

 Don't forget to stop by :The 12 Kits of Occasions  for a list of supplies and the links to the designers for a peek to what they made with the kit. 

Thank you Michelle !

Peace be with you all my friends!

  

Lots of Blooms

 Hello Friends! 

Boy did May go by in a flash.  This is a group of friends making cards from a monthly kit sent out by one of the members each month, just for fun.

 Marcia is our host for the month of May and sent out some beautiful flowers and pretty patterned paper as you can see in the beautiful photo above. Thank you Lindsey for doing the photo!

I simply stamped the sentiment on this card and added the blooms from Papertrey Ink

 Colored this one in, added some shimmer and used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink. Same for the one below.

 Colored in, fussy cut the image above and used The Greetery Die 

Below added I another Papertrey Ink sentiment and added the fussy cut image I colored.

 I hope these cards brightened your day a bit.

Pleases stop by  The 12 Kits of Occasions  blog to get the supply list and see the rest of the designers creations. I can guarantee it will be way more enjoyable than the news lately.

I can't wait to see what everyone made with Marcia's beautiful kit.

Thank you Marcia!

Birthday Time

 I have six projects made from the kit Nancy sent out.

Welcome to a Happy Happy Birthday 12  Kits of Occasions for the month of April ! Our wonderful host for the month is :Nancy Penir : Artful Notions. Nancy sent out this wonderful happy and colorful birthday kit! I always need birthday cards.

This card base was already embossed I just added the little girl and colored in with a bit of pink and shimmer pen.

I fussy cut the cake stamped image, added the candles and fun foam on the back and placed it on a white card base. I did add some glossy accents in a few places as well.

On the card above, all I did was add the sentiment from Papertrey Ink  and the Washi tape ...included in the birthday kit.

 I made the shaker  Papertrey Ink card  and wanted to add something to the lower right so I used my HAPPY BIRTHDAY Clear Stamps By The Stamping Village TSV0120  I fussy cut the little packages .

 

Ok I don't have this darling purse die from Concord & 9th but wish I did.  I've seen so many beautiful purses made with this die.

Nancy included one die cut purse and black trim. I didn't want to mess it up... only one chance. I took the already cut purse base and used this embossing folder it almost feels like read cotton.  Then I added Golden Garden Stamp & Die  from Altenew , colored in with copic markers. I am so happy with my first try . 

All the supplies and link to the rest of the amazing design team can be found HERE on the 12 Kits of Occasions blog.

Thank so much for the visit today. 

 I hope you are all doing ok .

God bless!

A Special Blog Hop

Sharron Gregory

On Papillon Wings

This special blog hop is for our friend Sharron Gregory, who passed away a few weeks ago from heart problems . 

 Sharron was such a kind and caring person . Sharron always loved cute animals, birds, nature and so much more. I tried to combine a few of the many things Sharron loved on this card. 

Long ago I admired a little snowman card that Sharron made, next thing I know I get an envelope filled with stamped and die-cut snowman with all the extras, hats, scarves and much more. Sharron stamped so many for me I still have lots left even years later. 
Sharron and I were in the The12 Kits of Occasions  group from the beginning , I will miss her kindness and beautiful heart. 

When I think of Sharron I will remember the special gift she was in my life, the joy she brought to everyone and I will always think of her with a heavy heart and smile.

Prayers for her dear husband and family.

Crafty Friends are Best

Hello there crafty friends! Welcome to the February:12 Kits of Occasions !

 Our host for the month is the very talented :Jeanne Jachna!

 Jeanne is the queen of patterned paper and color on her cards! Not only did Jeanne die cut and stamp all of the above , Jeanne made enough kits for guest designers as well!

I had so much fun putting my cards together and as always kept most of them CAS . I thought the one above might be fun for a little one to color in ( or an adult :)

 I  fussy cut the bird above out of one of the papers included in the kit!

The card below was so fun to put together as Jeanne had everything already die cut.

I love these sweet crafty buddies!

 Here is a photo of all the cards in one place.

Using Leftovers

Hello!

This January for the The 12 Kits of Occasions we are using some of the many leftovers we have from the past years. 

We have some members that are stepping down but never gone as we can still see their beautiful creations as they post them and they will always be in our hearts. We will also have some past members come back and we welcome them back!

  The card above was made using an already cut paper , all I did was cut the middle out with :Papertrey Ink  - Limitless Layers: Heart Stitches Die Collection (set of 4) then stamped with:Balloon Bash Stamp Set also fro Papertrey Ink.

The card below , I used patterned paper from a kit and used Mama Elephant creative cuts , and the same Papertrey Ink stamps and dies as from above and  Concord & 9th Cozy up die . 

 All I did for the card above was add Comforting Commands Stamp Set from The Greetery. Below I just added the already stamped airplane to the already stamped panel.

For the card below I used copic markers to go over the white dots on the Thank you die-cut, then used an envelope die( W Plus 9) with some leftover patterned paper from Jeanne's Kit.

On this card above I used some products from my own:  July Summer 2018 Kit. All I did was add the lemons to the already cut panel from Poppystamps Delicate Branch Collage. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps.

I really enjoyed using some of the leftovers , I know how hard everyone works on creating there kit and I hate to see any of it go to waste.

Please stop by The 12 Kits of Occasions to see all the new guest  joining us this month and the design team.

Thank you for the visit

God bless you!
