12 Kits of Occasions - Friends and Food

It's the last day of the month and you know what that means right? It's time for The 12 Kits of Occasions! The 12 Kits of Occasions is a group of 12 friends who all love to paper craft. Every month we take turns making a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit with the same items. On the last day of the month we reveal what we each made with the kit. It's fun to see how we used the product in different ways. Sometimes the projects are similar and sometimes they are very different.
Our hostess this month is Kim Heggins from Cupcakes Cards and Kim! Kim is an amazing lady! She's a former educator who loves baking cupcakes, sewing pretty bags (here's a link to her Etsy shop Running Stitch Design), going to concerts with her daughter and Mickey Mouse! Her kit is a wonderful representation of her!

Our theme this month is Friends and Food and she has included stamped images from Lawn Fawn, Ellen Hutson, Sugar Pea Designs and more. The pretty papers are from Lawn Fawn. The only ingredient from the kit that I didn't use was the twine ! Everything was YUMMY!

I made 4 cards.. here goes!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - Good Fortune

I'm so excited! It's finally here! It's post day for The 12 Kits of Occasions! It was my turn to host and I chose an Asian theme of Good Fortune!

I tried to include a little bit of something to appeal to everyone in the group. Here's a peek at the kit I put together. 
I always worry about what I send the group.. do these things all go together? Will they have fun making? I guess I had to prove to myself that it was all good so I tried to make with as much as I could so I made 8 cards!

I also invited four special guest to play along because crafty friends are the best! Please welcome...

TupeloDesignsLLC - Missing You is Ruff!

I hope you're having a great day! It's June 1 and it feels like Summer is definitely here! Let the good times roll!

Today I'm posting for TupeloDesignsLLC! They're a great place to shop! You can find lots of great brands all under one roof. Shipping is always FREE (no coupon required - USA only - discounted rates international). 
I love finding new things! This set is from Hampton Arts / Mama Elephant called Puppy Play. It's a great value because you get the stamps AND coordinating dies for $10.39!
I stamped the pups with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers.
This set even has two super cute sentiments like this one!
The background was created with distress ink. I used a sticky note that I cut with scissors into a hill as a mask to apply the distress ink. The little mounds of grass ground the pups so they don't look like they're floating. 
I hope you have some time to create today!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - March 2018

HI and thanks for stopping by! It's the last day of the month and you know what that means right? Well for me it's time for the reveal of The 12 Kits of Occasions kit. The 12 Kits of Occasions is a group of 12 friends who all love to paper craft. Every month we take turns making a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit with the same items. On the last day of the month we reveal what we each made with the kit. It's fun to see how we used the product in different ways. Sometimes the projects are similar and sometimes they are very different.
This month our hostess is Jessica Davis from The Paper Parade - check out this beautiful kit she put together for us! The kit is filled with expressions of "Thanks" and some of the cutest images ever! There's lots of new products that are new to me - you'll find all the exact ingredients over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog!

It was a real treat going through all the goodies in this package - papers that look like they were water colored and sentiments stamped in color. I got out the markers and started coloring before I got the whole package unwrapped! There's cute owls, loving bears, and even a unicorn! The only thing from the kit that I didn't seem to use is the twine! Thanks so much Jessica for this amazing kit!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - Merry Christmas!


It's the last day of the month! You know what that means right? We'll it's time for The 12 Kits of Occasions of course! The 12 Kits is a group of 12 friends who all like to paper craft! Each month we take turns providing the rest of the group with a "kit". The host chooses the theme and supplies. Our hostess this month is Jessica Davis from The Paper Parade!

Jessica is a very dear friend - always going out of her way to do things for those she cares about. This kit is a wonderful look at Christmas through Jessica's eyes. I see her love of family, cooking, and a bit of whimsy in the images she selected for this kit. Here's a peek!

She's included images from Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant, and Neat and Tangled. There's pretty pattern paper in red, green, aqua and grey. She included embellishments too - wood veneer tree and star, felt cut snowflakes, crystal clear buttons, twine and grosgrain ribbon!
I had so much fun that I made 7 cards!   That might just be a record for me!  LOL!  I added die cuts from Pretty Pink Posh and Reverse Confetti, and a brick embossing folder from Tim Holtz.







Want to see more designs created with this amazing kit? Hop on over to our group page.. The 12 Kits of Occasions where you'll find a sample from each of the team members. We're trying to keep the group interactive by giving you a chance to join us every month. Have a beautiful day and watch out.. December is just around the corner!
