The Twelve Kits of Occasions: July!

The summer is flying by fast, but let's take a moment on this final day of July to appreciate the sweetness of the season!  Marybeth is our host this month at the Twelve Kits of Occasions with a wonderful treat-filled kit!

I love the colors and images on the papers in this kit!  I added a little Copic shading to the popsicles and their sticks, and then some white gel pen accents.
This mason jar vase includes some flowers I cut out of the patterned paper:
 I loved that popsicle paper so much, I made it the focus and just embellished with a sno-cone!
 I added some Copic shading to these flowers and leaves that Marybeth stamped for us:
 These are the cutest food trucks, and the sentiment is what I hope for all of you:

Thank you for sharing in these summer treats today, and thank you, Marybeth for sharing this wonderful kit!  Please head on over to the Twelve Kits of Occasions blog to see the creative ideas thought up by my teammates!  A list of all the supplies can be found there.

I hope you are enjoying your summer (or winter if we don't share the same hemisphere).  Thanks for coming over to visit!  May the Lord bless you today!

  12. I gotta say.. you are the master with the copics Kara. You brought the flat stamped images to life with the additions you made. The Popsicles and florals are out of this world! AND I can't believe you fussy cut the flowers from the pattern paper too! Lots of love goes into everything you do and it shows!

  14. Oh my Kara, I'll echo everyone's sentiments here about the amazing details you added to the popcicles and flowers. Wow! I have one popcicle left that I may have to try to to copy yours. The fussy cut flower bouquet in the mason jar is wonderful! I just love every detail you add to each card that makes them one of a kind SPECIAL! Hugs to you~
