The 12 Kits of Holidays - January 2013



Happy New Year again...this is our first posting of our 12 Kits of Holidays for 2013. There are a few changes for this year and one of them is that about every other month our kits will be other holidays, like this month we are making cards for Valentine's Day. Next month we will be back to Christmas cards.  One of the other changes for this year is that we have 2 new ladies joining our little group but that also means saying goodbye to 2 others, Cathy and Suzanne...you will be missed.  So please help me in welcoming Kelly and Tracey to 12 Kits by leaving them comments. Like I mentioned before, we are doling Valentine's Day cards this month and our fabulous hostess is Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea (thanks for sending me the kit with the self assembling cards). Joyce sent out an incredible kit filled with so many wonderful goodies.  I was able to make 8 cards from her kit and still have plenty of left overs to CASE a few of the cards that the other ladies have made.

  1. Wow--you totally went to town. I love everything you did! I'm glad to see the wedding, anniversary, and birthday cards in there. I was hoping that some of the stuff I sent would be suitable for occasions other than Valentines. I can't even pick a favorite--they are all so creative and beautiful. Love how you put the different colors behind that piestra tile die cut, and love how you used the couple of images that had me stumped (even though I provided them!)

  2. You did so many different things that I never even thought about - the different colors behind the piestra die, the little hearts in the tree, - you're making me kick myself for not seeing the full potential of some of these items - you made this one your own and it is amazing!

  15. There is so much to CASE here! Where to start...I absolutely love the colored strips behind the border die cut with the simple sentiment. The little hearts in the tree! I tried something similar but couldn't make it work, but now I know what to do. :) Such beautiful use of the patterned papers, too!
