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. 
This month our hostess supplying all the goodies is Christina MacLaren. You might know Christina from her blog Sea Glass & Sentiments or from some of your favorite blog challenges like CASE Study or the new Cloud 9. She provided lots of pretty paper from Authentique, die cuts from Memory Box and Papertrey Ink, and yards of ribbon, seam binding, and twine.
This month I came up with 4 cards. It would have been easy to keep going with all the perfectly coordinated supplies, but I didn't want to get to photo heavy on the post. I've named each of the cards so you can match up the material list at the bottom of this post.
Song Bird
Candy Stripe
Warm Wishes
Merry

Hi Jeanne! I really like your Candy Stripe card using the layered banners and is that gold holly flourish? Perfectly coordinated with the gold beaded center! This is just one gorgeous card! So fun to see how you used these supplies and what I am going to CASE now! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper collection of cards. I love them all. I think my very favorite is the poinsettia with all the banners. Those banners are just so festive and fun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! I love the pearls on the berries..so smart!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love all of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you layered the bird on top of the greenery! What a wonderful kit and so much inspiration!!! Gorgeous!!!!
Terrific set of Christmas cards Jeanne!
ReplyDeleteEach card is picture perfect Jeanne! Love the bird card,very elegant , well they are all very elligant. I really like the holly it's a bit differeen from from the one I have,so pretty in gold too. Your Candy stripe card with the stripes of paper is gorgeous. I love dark green holly on the next one . All gorgeous as always !
ReplyDeleteThese really are magnificent, Jeanne! Love the berries.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous Jeanne, a great use of these supplies!
ReplyDeleteI love how you named your cards! All that work, they deserve a title. I love how you added those pearls to the Christmas tree image and the one with the poinsettia layered over the doily with holly sprigs was beautiful. You were so smart to layer the branch image over the pine needle image. I never saw that in my head...why not? My favorite was the one with the candy stripe banner, loved how you made the different sizes of banners and the poinsettia. Really beautiful cards once again Jeanne!
ReplyDeleteI'm drowning in inspiration!!! Jeanne, top of the tops on these cards. Mercy sakes...all gorgeous. Stay busy, stay productive and keep 'em coming! I'm CASEing them all....LOL...mwahahahaha. ;)
ReplyDeletehugs to you,
lisa xx
As always...
ReplyDeleteincredible!!
Love that songbird!!
Now I may just have to sit down later and CASE some cards using them...
I saved them!! :)
Love how you mixed all the gorgeous paper patterns...
I still have trouble with that!!
And wasn't this kit so much fun?
I think I agree with Suzanne...
as summer starts winding down and we're about to head into the Holidays...
it just puts me in the mood!! :)
Stunning cards, Jeanne, and I'm not surprised! I love the collage feel of the first one. The gold accents with the poinsettia are so striking, and the layered banners look fantastic. The green doily makes an amazing backdrop to the flower on your third card, and I love the pretty die cut foliage. But I think I like your last card the best and will have to CASE it! I didn't know what to do with that paper, but using the simple tree image was a great choice, especially with the pearl ornaments. Thanks for all of the beautiful inspiration this month!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Jeanne--each is so incredibly beautiful! And what fun that you gave each one a name--love that sweet touch! Songbird is fantastic! Using the pine with the branch was a great idea--very effective! Lovely poinsettia designs too--I especially love Candy Stripe with the gold holly flourish. Actually it is my top favorite of them all! Adore all the perfectly placed elements. i knew you would do an awesome job with the wonderful patterned papers and you certainly didn't disappoint! All are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous, Jeanne! WOW! That kit looks delish!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much beautiful Christmas jumping off this page!! I love that you titled your cards, too :) So my favorites are Song Bird and Merry. I love the collage background on the Merry card, you really let it shine, and the pearls on the tree were the perfect touch! That triple bow is pretty awesome, too! I love the yellow pearl centers on the poinsettia cards, the different sizes really make them pop! And the layout of the bird card is fantastic, I wouldn't have thought to put the branch vertical, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow...I am at a lose of words, these are so amazingly beautiful, just so beautiful!!! I am so happy to don't have to choose just one card as a favorite because they are so gorgeous. So much amazing details too.
ReplyDeleteOh Jeanne, they are all perfectly layered and embellished. Your detailed diecuts add so much pizazz to these- truly stunning! I LOVE your bird card with the pearls on the berries and the layered branches. Love the handcut poinsettias - it never dawned on me that I should cut anything out. LOL. Love our little group! You're so amazing and inspirational. How is the puppy doing? :)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting.
