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.
Jolly
Post Card
Joy
Gift Card Holder
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!

Love how you tried to keep it Amy style. Gorgeous cards all four of them. The gift card holder is so pretty , I loved that printed paper. Love the one called Post Card…. love the way you added bling to that little pin thing. Love the tiny holly on top of the bell such a Christmassy… idea. Grate job with a super fun kit.
Wow...just so over the top amazingness, each and everyone! So much fabulous detail, so much to see and take in, love it all. Your last card is my favorite, again, lots of incredible details and it is so Christmassy and to me this is the gift, no card needed. Just beautiful.
with 100degree temps I can see why U would choose 2 B mak'in Px-Cards
even if it's Still JUNE & not July cause it sure feels like JULY.
Jeanne, these are all spectacular Christmas cards! I am totally in awe of what you can create with all these wonderful supplies!! Just wonderful x
Such a beautiful collection of cards. I can see Amy in there, but Jeanne is still shining through. Your style is so unique and fantastic--it cannot be repressed. All your cards are wonderful, but I think the last one is my favorite.
I LOVE that brown paper bag card Jeanne! So pretty! I love the twine wrapped around it, the neat little clip that holds the For You tag on it and that is a great little poinsettia on it. The Joy card with the gold bell...beautiful and I love the one with the Postcard stamped on it...is that in the kit? I love that stamp and with the cute bow under it...you combined so many great elements (oops, just saw the clothespin on it too. So pretty!
Wowie Jeanne! These are all Fabulous!! Love the Wonderful Dp's all the fun Lil' inker elements too! ( I love their stuff! ) You put everything together so Wonderfully too! Love these! 8-)

Fabulous!!
As always!!
I have to say the gift card holder is my personal fave...
though I'm also leaning heavily towards that postcard too...
I just love them!! :)
But they're all gorgeous and you complimented Amy fabulously!! :)
So much to take in Jeanne, this is a wonderful Christmas card and I love the details you shared with us. Super, super card!
This really is one of my fave Christmas cards, EVER! :)
Wow Jeanne! Each card has oh so much to look at, its hard to decide what I like best! I think that the post card card is my favorite, though, I love the retro look it has and all the special little elements you added to it :) I love all the bling on the tree in the first card, too!
Are you doing backflips over these??? If your hands aren't too busy keeping the pup out of trouble, pat yourself on the back! These are gorgeous Christmas cards and I'm not freaking out in the least bit that it's only 6 months away and I've made nothing nor planned a shopping plan of attack, nope..not at all! O_O
Postcard and Card holder are my favorites.
These are all marvellous Jeanne! Love them all!
I love what you did Jeanne! My faves are the jolly and joy cards:). What you do with layered frames is always amazing! I love that you mixed a bit of CAS with your style this month:). I can't wait to see what you put together in your kit!
Hope you have a great week Jeanne!!
I love how you used all of the wonderful bits and pieces in this kit, Jeanne! Each card is like a little present itself. I especially love the tiny jingle bells you added to your "Joy" card and the pretty layered lables, and the gift card holder is my favorite with all of the sweet details. Beautiful job this month!
Stop the presses! Jeanne! Bling in the pin! Genius! It looks awesome but just W.O.W. over the last gift card holder. Stunning - one of my faves ever from you!
Awesome as always, Jeanne! Love how you combined Amy's CAS style with just the right touches of your own. They are all fantastic but I love the paper you chose for the 'Joy' card and those adorable little bells! Your last card is my favorite. As Suzanne said, it definitely has the WOW factor! I just love every little detail--perfect!!
Beautiful!! Love the hand cut flower on the last card! You used the patterned paper so beautifully too! Gorgeous cards!!
Jeanne....thank you so much for the sweet comments about my kit! I think your cards are stunning....truly your style! I love Joyce's comment that your style pulled through! The postcard one has just grabbed my attention because it just pulls so many little things together perfectly. That's what I love about your style...You can do this effortlessly! I love the tiny accent of jingle bells on the JOY card.....see what I'm talking about? It's all in the details! :) Gorgeous job Jeanne and thank you!
