The 12 Kits of Holidays - Spring/Easter Edition




Here we are again at the end of another month and that means there will be lots of amazing cards from our 12 Kits group. This month's hostess is Tracey from In My Creative Opinion and she sent out an amazing kit of the most beautiful spring paper, it was really really hard to cut into, I will be honest.  But once I made that dreaded first cut the rest seemed to follow. My cards are made from a online card class called Pattern Play, I missed most of it because of other obligations so now I had the time to sit and watch the video's to see what I missed out on, so many wonderful ideas and I am so happy they were all there to help get my cards completed.  I hate waiting until the last minute to get anything done but I had no choice this month.  The butterfly paper was my favorite and I used every piece of it, nothing left over...in fact I was packing up all of my leftover supplies and I had one small piece of the butterflies and then it hit me, another idea and that is my first card with the window. I love it when those ideas just seem to come out of no where. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and peek at my cards...have a fabulous day!

  5. You've been a busy girl Kim! I love the last card with the eggs in the grass on the embossing - the buttons on the chickie card that remind me of colorful jelly beans, and the window with the butterflies outside with that sentiment is so clever! Beautiful cards packed with color - and all that yummy embossing!

  7. I love all of your cards. They are all amazing. I can see all the lessons from our class in these cards, and I will give you an A+ for the class--even though you were late to class EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! The quality of your homework more than makes up for your skipping school. The card with the butterflies in the window is brilliant, and I just adore your woven paper card and the one with that big eyed bird. Even though we used essentially the same sketch/lesson for a couple of our cards, they still came out so unique and different.

  11. Kim all of your cards are so beautiful. I love how you put the butterfly paper behind the window frame. Way to use all those techniques from our Pattern Play class, perfect! I agree with Joyce that you are lucky that your quality makes up for your tardiness. I love how your Cameo grass turned out with the eggs nestled inside. Will be CASEing you my friend.

  12. Ohhh I LOVE that embossed Easter egg card! The grass is so cute! And that window card is the best idea to go with that sentiment! I am sad that I didn't take the patterned paper class...you girls are making it look so fun! Love the mix of patterns on the little chickie card...ooo and the cool quilt block design!

  14. Wow, all your cards are gorgeous, Kim! And I agree about the butterfly paper. It was my favorite too! Your idea to put it behind the window was genius. Love that card! You did a wonderful job with all the paper patterns. I smiled to see the little chick on the fourth one! I think my favorite is the embossed one with the eggs & grass--another very clever and pretty idea!! Have a happy Easter!!

  16. What beauty this month, Kim! I think the last one is my favorite, I love how realistic the grass looks with the eggs tucked behind it :) I love that you and Joyce both did a quilting look with all the gorgeous patterned papers we received. And that butterfly paper looks perfect behind the window! What a great spring scene to look out to :)
