Birthday Cards

Hello, and welcome to our monthly post of The 12 Kits of Occasions Occasions.  I hope that you've all been staying healthy.

Tracey McNeely is our host for the month of  January. As you can see in the photo above the kit was filled with lots of bright and happy.

I have always been a big fan (and love ) Tracy's absolutely beautiful clean and simple designs, anything that sweet girl creates.

I have been making slimline cards ever since I got my new SL envelope die from Simon Says Stamp. I used my older memory box die for the circles called:Pinpoint Circle Frame, perfect for SL.

 I love the simplicity of the card above with added texture, the watercolor paper from Hobby Lobby.

On this last card, before I took the cut die out of the paper I used Simon Hurley Stamping Foam (so much fun) to create the texture. All you do is heat the foam and press it on anything...... I pressed it on the cutter I have then inked it up and stamped over the die cut letters. Big Birthday from MFT 

We are sorta rethinking the 12 Kits as of now, I will keep you posted as we have all been so busy. Please visit the blog to see all the designers and guest, also for the complete list of supplies.

Lovely Blossoms Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Monday to you all. This Monday I started my day in the craft room before all my chores. I couldn't wait to play with some of my happy mail from: The Greetery.

The beautiful  Lovely Blossoms Stamp Set 

was so much fun to play with and easy to stamp. I used a stamp I already had Harvest Home Stamp Set  Kinda of in place of the beautiful heart from the release.

I found that while stamping the whole image a few of the smaller ones could be stamped in the same place , without moving the stamp.

Not sure if that makes sense to you, but it sure saved a bit of time for me

I was able to tuck the blooms inside the lower leaf panel as I used a bit of foam tape.

Thank you for the visit today. Peace be with you all.

God bless.

Fall Cards with 12 Kits

Happy Halloween!

Hello, welcome to the October 12 Kits of Occasions !

Our host for the month is. Birgit :Crafting While I Wait .  Birgit who is as sweet as can be and creates the most beautiful cards,  sent out this darling fall themed kit, filled with lots of fun and pretty fall patterned paper and fun designs. 

On the card above I used the stamp and die set from The Greetery:Comforting Commands Stamp Set  and Memory box for the framed die cuts.

 

On the card above I just started putting things together that were included in the kit, had fun doing that.

For the card above I used Memory Box Embossing Folder for the background and Poppystamps :2308 Thanks Outline craft die  

On the card below I used a Pretty Pink Posh die and left the pumpkin uncolored so the pretty patterned paper from the kit could shine .

Please stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions Blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has created.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Fun

 Hello, I had some fun time in the craft room the other day playing with some new stamps.

I hope you are enjoying some creative time for yourselves as well.

The patterned paper for the envelope liner is from , Papertrey Ink called :Bitty Big: Canyon Clay Color Collection (24 sheets)

I used the new S’more Holiday Stamp Set  &  S’more Holiday Die  from the Greetery along with 

Hug in a Mug Sweet Treats Die I masked off a few of the sentiment stamps to add Halloween from Poppystamps: CL493 Halloween Ingredients clear stamp set

IB147

I am inspired by the colors and some polka dots.

I made a few for Christmas too that I will try and post later.

Hope you have a blessed week.

Christmas Angel / Mug Rug

 Hi there ! Hope you are all healthy and happy! My turn over at the Poppystamps blog today, if you would like to check it out you can go  HERE

Before I make a card now, I need to clean up my quilting . Sometimes I can get distracted and I start sewing up some of the scraps that I just finished using. I ended up making this little hot pad/ mug rug. ( for holding coffee on your lap) I love how it turned out. It has a double layer of cotton batting to protect from heat.

Hope you have a great weekend 

Craft Room Time

Hello , hope you are all hanging in there . 

I finally had some time to make a card.

(I made few cards for future post)

I used the beautiful BotaniCuts Toadstool Garden Die and Comforting Commands Stamp Set both from The Greetery.

I will be honest, this card was remade many times and almost ended up in the trash. I think I  finally saved it with less mistakes.

The glitter docent show up much in this photo but I love it in real life.

Take care and thank you !

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.

Parcel and Post Christmas

 Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. We're  trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

Hello!  Before you know it , it will be time to mail out those Christmas cards! I am happy to say another month has gone by and I got a few more cards and gift tags created.

 I used one of my past favorite : Post & Parcel Kit from Papertrey Ink.

I have an entire kit and decided to use some of the already printed papers that came with the kit. I did some diecuting , glossing accents and adding some glitter.  One the one above I added a bow from The Greetery.

The tags were also created with the kit. Simple die cutting and adhering together. Im sure many of you have the some of the kits as well. Nice time to use them up and get some Christmas cards done.

I pray you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for the visit today. Take care.

Don't forget to see the rest of the Design team.
