The 12 Kits of Chrismas - January Challenge



Yes, it's another Christmas card and each month there will be more. I am doing this monthly Christmas challenge called The 12 Kits of Christmas with 11 other incredibly talented ladies and I am really excited to see what they have all come up with this month.  We are each assigned a month to put together card kits to send to all 11 other ladies and January was Renee's month and oh my goodness did she spoil us!  There were enough ingredients in this kit to make so many cards....I made only 3 but I am so happy with what I ended up with.
There is also some wonderful Blog Candy to one lucky person who comments on all of the blogs. Maybe this will temp you into leaving those wonderful remarks....a die from Memory Box and a few other fabulous goodies too.
Thanks for taking a peek!

  1. Woo hoo, Kim! I love what you did! So different from mine. I love that you bundled the bells...I had a hard time using those so I saved them, and I love that you put the In the Meadow dies behind the windows...I never would have thought of that! Oh and the glitter star and the twine around the window base...oh, this is gonna be SO fun!

  3. These are so wonderful. I especially love what you did with the windows. You know, I told you I was stumped with those windows, even though they were one of the things I was most excited about when I opened the kit. Your cards are so cute, and you did such a great job using the little embellishments Renee sent. I'm glad I have so many leftovers, because I have enough parts to CASE you.

  4. Hi Kim! Woweee.....this is a FUN post! I love every single one of these! I see you've used the coveted window dies too. I love the star you added all glittered up behind the window and the tied twine on the base of the window? I will be using that sometime! I already see ways to use more of the goodies from this month's kit!

  5. Kim I love what you have done with the items in the kit! You will soon see we think alike on some :) The little girl on the sled is just adorable, I like how you used the twine and the bell, just too cute! Loving all your cards and the way you tied up those bells. The last card layout is wonderful way to use one of the sentiments and the beautiful die cut tree! I don't think I could ever run out of ideas with that window! Nicely done Kim!!! Cant wait to see all the others.

  6. Kim, I think my favorite is the window scene with the little sledding boy! I love how red and festive the card is, and love that the patterned paper continues even outside of the window. I love the bunch of bells in the bows on the first and second, and the neat navy night sky is great on the first! And who doesn't love that big red tree on the 3rd :)

  10. Oh my goodness, these are really, really good! The first one, my favorite. I love the navy and white layering and the twine wrapped around it. The CAS on the third makes the embossed dots pop right out too! Really great job on this one Kim. Love the little heading you made too!
