Twelve Kits of Ocassions August Guest

Today I am thrilled and honored to be guest designer for the Twelve Kits of Occasions!  My dear friend, Birgit, is one of the twelve talented designers on the team and she invited me to be her guest this month!  I have watched these ladies work their magic for years - each designing cards based on the same supplies.  At the end of every month they showcase their creations and it's so fun to see how each one interprets the kit based on their own styles.  You can see just what I mean by going over to the 12 Kits of Occasions blog!  The supplies in the kit are also listed there.

This month, Birgit put together the kit using the theme Fairy Tales.  She sent out the most darling images, die cut pieces, and papers with lots of room to let our imaginations go wild!  Here are my cards using the kit:

I Copic colored and cut this gnome and his little accessories, colored a background for him, framed it with a MFT scalloped frame onto one of the patterned papers from the kit, and also used an included sentiment.

This "Big" guy was in our kit, along with the cupcake, papers, and sentiment.  I added a Paper Smooches building die cut out of scraps to give perspective to his size.

Birgit included little intricate die cuts - so whimsical!  I colored them all by smooshing them in various Distress Oxide inks and arranged them on a Oxide smooshed background cut from an MFT Stitched rectangle.  The sentiment and blue card base was included in the kit!

This voluptuous fairy was so fun to color!  Everything on this card was included in the kit except that I die cut the MFT Wonky aperture, cut a few LF stars out of the glitter paper, stamped words from HOTP, and added a little glitter glue.

Birgit included sequins in our kit so I knew I wanted to make a shaker card.  The mermaid and her little friend came pre-cut, and I colored them to match those gorgeous papers from the kit!  The turtle was attached with Copic-colored thread to the inside of a PTI shaker window.

This little darling and the mushrooms were also pre-cut.  I colored them to go with this adorable paper, added a MFT scalloped border for the grass, and a MFT frame around the included sentiment.

I wanted to use all those pretty little die cuts and all those beautiful design papers, so I found various stitched rectangles in my stash and die cut a color blocked background.  I cut apart the sentiment that was included in the kit, and added Lawn Fawn little white flowers and hearts to fill in the empty blocks.

I want to thank Birgit for the opportunity to play along with these twelve talented and lovely ladies!  I had a blast!

Thank you for coming over to visit!  I hope you have a wonderful day!
