The 12 Kits of Holidays - June 2013 Edition



It is that time again for our posting of The 12 Kits of Holidays and this month our fabulous hostess is Jeanne from A Kept Life.  If you know Jeanne, you know that her cards are out of this world, so much detail and doodads and bows that you can not take your eyes off of her work, it is simply amazing!
This month we are back to making cards for Christmas and the paper and all the ingredients that Jeanne sent are fabulous and I had a blast playing with all of them.  I am looking forward to see what the rest of the ladies have made too.
This month we have a special guest playing along with us, Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter.  She took a break this year from our group and is back this month to play along...I know she will do amazing things with this kit too.
I have 5 cards and 3 project to share with you today so there are lots of photos to look at. Once you are finished here be sure to use the links at the bottom to check out what everyone else has created.  You can also see the mile long list of ingredients on Jeanne's post.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and peek at my cards....have a great holiday week!

  5. Oh my. Your cards and projects are absolutely fabulous. Where to start? Well, using that hexagon die was just brilliant, and I wish I had thought about it. I love how you cut a window in your card with the carollers--that was also brilliant. Your card with Santa's list used every thing that I loved and couldn't figure out what to do with, so that will definitely be the first one I case, and your last notebook holder is absolutely darling. I am hearing Santa say 'ho ho ho' as he pops his buttons and bursts through his suit.

  6. Wow! You made so many beautiful things Kim! I want to tell you what I love about each of them but I don't want to put you to sleep! You really made the stamped images and sentiments the star of the show on each of the cards. I love what you did with the buckle, the bling on the sentiment that fit perfect on the lip of the cone, Santa with the list, the framed carolers ... gonna be some heavy duty casing going on here.

  11. Oh wow...look at all you have done! How can I remember all of these little details...the Santa suit card, is blow me away fabulous. I also love your notebook and I swear, I was going to do a hexagon card but that was one of the dies I did not bring up with me on vacation (and I brought a lot!) You beat me to it, but thankfully I have enough left overs to make one now that I am home. I sure have missed you all!

  16. I can't believe how many projects you made this month! Those notepads will come in so handy, and they are just darling. You made wonderful use of these papers, too, especially with that amazing "quilt" on the first card. I love the framed silhouettes on the third one, too. Gorgeous work this month, Kim!

  18. My word, you did amazing things with Jeanne's kit! I just love the little girl silhouette with those papers...it's like she decorating the tree with visions of sugar plums dancing in her little dreamland! Love the Santa "coat" card with the buttons and silver buckle. And oh how those Christmas hexagons captured my heart! A wonderful set of cards, Marybeth!!
