It is almost Halloween and also the end of the month so that means it is time for our 12 Kits of Occasion's post. This month our hostess with the mostess is
Jessica from Paper Parade and what an amazing kit she sent out. I could not wait to play with my kit but I wanted to save it for my trip to Minnesota and I have to say the my blogging friends loved getting a little bit of a sneak peek. The colors and images from Jessica's kit were just perfect for the setting I was in, fall all over the place, every where you turned, it was just beautiful and so much inspiration for my cards. I have 5 cards to share with you today and as always, lots of leftovers to play with later in the month. Be sure to head over to
The 12 Kits of Occasions blog for a peek at every one's cards and links to their blogs. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by today...enjoy the rest of your week.
This month's kit...just amazing right?
Awesome cards. Such a fun kit.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I love all of your cards Kim, but that one with the scribble die cut behind it is my FAVORITE!!! Love that one. The combination of the whimsical scribble and the elegant sentiment was such a smart idea! Your cards really show how much fun you had with Jessica's kit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely autumn kit! Your cards are all wonderful (as always ) Kim!! I think the last is my fave, I LIKE that pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteSuper love them all, but the way you used the purple patterned paper was just brilliant. I love that idea!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I DO remember seeing some of these last week!!! As stunning as I remember too. I think that pumpkin is one of my favorite pumpkins ever! You've really made some beauties from this kit. The BABES must have been a real inspiration...lol! Sooooo sweet. Love these. : ) Bev
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and one of a kind cards Kim! You made so many and you have been so busy. Your first and third cards are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are not celebrating by tuning over any cars....:)⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
These are gorgeous - I think I saw a couple of them, but some are new, too! I love how you use the various components to make cards that are so you!
ReplyDeleteYAYYY! Kim!!! Look at all the cards you made! You really outdid yourself, and each one so different from the last. Standouts for me are the "thanks" with the squiggle background - I just couldn't figure out what to do with that image - it looks drop dead gorgeous here, and I love the last with the swirly embossed background. You picked up all the colors in the thanks with the sequins and the pumpkin - it just looks like it was meant to be together. The yellows just pop on the first with the little extra yellow paper behind the sentiment too! Great post!
ReplyDeleteFabulous collection of cards, Kim. I can tell that you were in a place where fall was really happening and inspiring you. Brilliant idea to use a circle scribble die behind that beautifully inked sentiment, I love the turkey sitting atop those subway sentiments, and your monochrome thankful card is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI was just so amazed to see you creating with this kit, Kim ... sitting right opposite you, watching you mix and blend and match all the different ingredients was fantastic ... what a joy! Beautiful then, beautiful now, my friend! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I'm loving those beautiful fall colors and stamped images!
ReplyDeleteKim what a lovely collection of cards that you made while you were at your retreat! Love how unique each and every one of them is. You were definitely inspired by your surroundings! Beautiful texture and layers, well done.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding cards, Kim! I can attest to the fact that they are even more gorgeous in real life!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFab cards, I love all these warm colours x
ReplyDeleteOh, Kim, what lovely cards! I am loving the colours you have used too. Each card is so different and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHey there pal! The cards look just as yummy in your post as they did when you were sitting beside me, crafting up a storm while I watched in amazement as you put your creativity to work and created the most beautiful cards! Your talent is endless :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Kim! Love them all but I think the first and last are my favorites! Such a fabulous fall look and colors on the first and I adore that pumpkin. Love how you used it!
ReplyDeleteYour collection of cards here is gorgeous, Kim...you've captured the splendour of fall beautifully in each one. I'm sure each one was inspired by the gorgeous scenery of your recent trip, and the encouraging support of the BABES! Love every one of these!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Great cards and all so different and fun. Came here from Darnell's blog - love your work!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just what a needed, some inspiration for thank you cards. Really like the one with the little turkey and how you decorated several cards with sequins. I've been struggling with coming up with an idea for a thank you card, but I think it's solved now... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKim I think that the last two thanks cards are my favorites...I love how you put the sentiment over the pumpkin in the last, what a neat look! And on the second to last the scribbles behind really make the sentiment pop! Love your take on the purple card with the white acorn, too... you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun kit & you've made great cards! Thanks for the inspiration, Kim!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I LOVE the cards you created. Each is so different and FABULOUS!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!
