12 Kits of Chirstmas - June 2012

Are you ready for another edition of the 12 Kits of Christmas?  Just to refresh your memory, this is a group of 12 designers. Each has been assigned a month to provide the Christmas crafting supplies to the other 11 members. We all receive the same supplies and post our creations on the last day of every month. It's interesting to see how we all come up with something different with the same kit of supplies.

This month our hostess with the mostest supplying all the goodies is Amy. She's provided all sorts of paper crafting goodness.....  Paper from Simple Stories, Lil'Inker Die Cut Stamped Images, buttons, gems, ribbon and twine (check out the photo to the right!).  This month I made  four cards.  Everything came together seamlessly as if each item was meant to be with the next !!   Amy's style is pure clean and simple with lots of graphic designs.   I think this came through in in the kit she put together for us.  I tried to do Amy proud by channelling her mojo.  I'm happy with the results, and I think  these cards are a different direction from my norm.  The have a lot of clean lines - and not so many of the embellishments that I normally gravitate to. 

I've named each of the cards so you can match up the material list at the bottom of this post.

I used this little paper bag that Amy had some of the supplies in for my card.  It is the perfect size to slip a gift card into!
