The 12 Kits of Occasions - December 2013 Edition



Can you believe it is almost the end of 2013 and another year of The 12 Kits is behind us after today's post. This month our hostess with the hostess is Jessica from  the Paper Parade. Jessica sent out the most amazing kit...so many wonderful papers, dies, embellishments and even some stamps! I made 8 cards and to be honest I still have enough leftovers to make another 8 plus cards.
We have some sad news, this will be Amy's from Stamp-n-Paradise final month with us at 12 Kits, she will be missed to much. I wish you all the best in whatever you do, you are such amazing crafter/card maker and I know we will all be seeing lots of your fabulous creations in blogland.  But the good news is, Jeanne from A Kept Life will be back playing with us again in 2014. So welcome back Jeanne!  Another fun twist to this month is that Sharron our January Host is offering an extra kit to one lucky commenter on our 12 Kits blog. So good luck and I can't wait to see who will be playing along with us in January.


Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...be sure to head over to The 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see who the lucky winner is and the rest of our groups creations, I know they will all be amazing!  Happy New Year to all of you!







 This is my favorite of the bunch...I stamped snowflakes using the background stamp that Jessica provided in VersaMark and heat embossed with clear powder, I just love this sweet little bunny!

  8. Oh, these are all incredible. I just love seeing what you do with the exact same ingredients as me. Of course, I think the owl and the bunny are my faves. And, I love what you did with that red die cut Christmas. That one stumped me for a long time.

  9. Oh my goodness! Where to begin - you busy little bee!! Going to start with my fave - the bunny with the embossed background - I LOVE HIM!! So many good things here - love the layers and mix of patterns and colors for the hills - even on the reindeer! You totally nailed this Kim! Wonderful accents - each one has a little scene that is just perfect!

  10. That has to be the cutest sweater I have ever seen...love the red/white combo and the cute blue bird on it. I also really love that reindeer card with the snow banks done in white and kraft. Great idea to use patterned papers for the snowbanks with your bunny on a sled card...Joyce did that too and I loved it!

  17. Each month I think your '12 kits' cards are amazing, Kim ... and each month you out-do yourself ... these are all so charming ... I can't single out a fave. OK, then, if I must ... the bunny ... he's adorable, the embossed snowflakes are gorgeous and I love the DP swathes of snow! Anita :)

  18. Oh your sweater, Kim! It's soooo cute as a cardigan, eek! Love the owl tucked in his little woodgrain hole with the houndstooth background. The chevron piece almost looks like you stitched it by hand on that poinsettia card! And a super sweet bunny with those big bold snowflakes in the background...positively chilly but so sweet!

  25. Kim, you made some of my very favorite cards this month! That owl in the window with the woodgrain and houndstooth is adorable! I absolutely love the snowman peeking out from behind the tree, and the patterned paper hills with the clear embossed snowflakes on the last card are so pretty. You did an amazing job with this kit!
