The Twelve Kits of Occasions: December Edition!

The month of December and the year of 2019 draws to a close.  We are all ready to celebrate the coming of 2020, but first it's time to celebrate December's 12 Kits of Occasions!  Marcia is our host this month, and she sent us the most amazing package of items to create Christmas tags!  I think I used almost every little bit of this kit and created sixteen tags!

All of the supplies Marcia included helped make each tag unique:

I am in love with this sweet scarf donned owl!  He's colored in Copics and the tag is ink blended over a SugarPea Designs stencil.

I adhered the Tim Holtz tissue paper that Marcia included to make this quick tag!

A little masking and ink blending was all it took to finish this car with tree scene.  Of course, those snowflakes that Marcia included in the kit completed the look.

I used a couple of stencils on both of these tags.  The white tag received DI Festive Berries, and the red tag received SU! white ink.  I added some SugarPea Designs holly and berries.

I decided that this bear was enjoying a cup of peppermint mocha.  Those peppermint candies that Marcia included are so adorable!

This polar bear sits on a masked and ink blended background too.

Marcia cut out all the pieces for this shaker jar!  I added a LF sentiment and a little ribbon.

Marcia's packaging included this wonderful washi tape which I added to the top and bottom of this tag.

These deer were shaded with DI Gathered twigs.  I stenciled a bit of snow on this beautiful gray tag and added a white cs snow hill.

Such a fun llama to color!  The white tag was ink blended with DI Mowed Lawn.

Such a sweet little snow globe!  Marcia even die cut that snow bank for us!

This tag started out white.  I ink blended it in DI Festive Berries and then Aged Mahogany through a stencil.

This is actually a cute tiny little tag.  You can see how it compares to the others in the group photo at the top.

A little kraft/white/red combo for this polar bear mamma and her cubs.

This tag was colored using Derwent Inktense pencils and then ink blended with a bit of DI Chipped Sapphire.

Thank you, Marcia, for all of the fun little bits and pieces!  All of the products in the kit are listed over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog.  Please stop by for much more inspiration from all of my teammates!

Thanks for coming over to visit!  May the Lord bless you today!

The Twelve Kits of Occasions - November

Is it really the last day of November?  Why yes, it is!  That means it's time for another installment of the Twelve Kits of Occasions and our hostess this month is Lindsey Larsen!  She packed a mighty merry kit full of Christmas cheer:

 A little masking and ink blending, and this little scene fell together nicely.

 This little fox is so sweet clustered with all his Christmas goodies.

 Lindsey's papers and images made it so easy and fun to create these botanical cards.

 Silver, gold, and a layer of soft printed vellum completed this nativity scene.

 I loved Lindsey's vellum, so I continued with a little printed vellum of my own.  

I love the copper, cream, and green colors together.  I added some white Nuvo drops.

Thank you, Lindsey, for this fantastic kit!  I enjoyed every bit of it!  A list of all the supplies included in the kit can be found at the Twelve Kits of Occasions blog.  Please head on over there to see what the team created with Lindsey's kit!

Autumn Days - October's Twelve Kits of Occasions

Sharron Gregory gave us the most amazing autumn kit called, Autumn Days, for October's edition of the Twelve Kits of Occasions.  I enjoyed putting each card together using the wonderful images and beautiful color scheme:

 I partially die cut this Penny Black little girl with a stitched rectangle frame.

 This Stamping Bella little lady was colored with Copics and fussy cut.

 These poor turkeys are not the greatest acrobats, but they sure were fun to color!

I had these squirrels (Lawn Fawn's Shadow Box Park Add-On) colored and lying on my desk, so I thought they'd be fun to pair with Sharron's acorn die cut.

A little Distress Oxide ink in Fired Brick and Wild Honey was blended around this sentiment.  The gold speckles were added with a gold gel pen.

These leaves were edged with gold embossing, along with some of the veins.

I stayed with the same Copic combination for all of the Copic colored images:
C0, E000,00,01,11,13,21,23,27,50,51,53,55, R20,24,29, B32,34,37,91, YR00,14,18, YG91,93,95, G94, BG70,72

Thank you, Sharron, for this wonderful kit!   I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!  Please head over to the Twelve Kits of Occasions blog for a full list of products in the kit, and much more inspiration from the talented team!

The Twelve Kits of Occasions: September Edition

It's the final day of September which means it's time to share our cards from Kim's wonderful kit "Food and Friends" over at the Twelve Kits of Occasions!

This little Pop Tart by Lawn Fawn is so cute!  I added a face, arms and legs from LF's Sweet Friends stamp set, and clear Nuvo Drops to make her shine.

This toast and avocado were another fun twosome!

I love this sentiment that Kim included in the kit:

Okay, strange photo of my shaker, I know, but I added a lot of sequins so the recipient would have to shake it around to read the important sentiment.  I did not create that inky paper, that is from Brutus Monroe.

Thank you, Kim, for this kit full of food and fun!  I enjoyed every bit of it!  Please stop by the Twelve Kits of Occasions blog to see the wonderful card creations designed by the talented team!

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.
