It's the end of March, and time for our March 12 Kits of Christmas post. There are 12 of us who take turns sending surprise packages of holiday card making supplies to each other every month. To read more about this group, please see my January post here. This month, our host was Suzanne of The Card Yard, and she sent us a package chock full of holiday goodness.

How fun Joyce! i love the idea of the card kits! I didn't know about it until today, i can't wait to see what you create next! and your cards are so cute!
ReplyDeleteJoyce...hope you and your family are having a fabulous time on vacation! Your cards are just spectacular, but the last one with the dove is so beautiful. The way you rounded the right top corners, just such a smart look. Great job!
ReplyDeleteDon't know when you found the time to make these before your big trip , but you did a wonderful job on them! I like the way you lined up your paper , and left some red peeking out on the first one and colored it! And you used the lace, I forgot to and it so pretty, I love the dove card or the peace card the layout for this is beautiful… Have a wonderful time and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! I hope you are enjoying your vacation.....have a great time! You did a great job with Suzanne's kit. I love that second card with the pinking edges and how the sentiment takes center stage.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a fun vacation! Love seeing your holiday inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJoyce - see we were both thinking the same here! Love the dove image and all the red and green - so festive! Your backgrounds steal the show - love the fancy dies, borders, and the way you layered the papers. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey're fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the pp as panels on the first card...
and the medallions under the sentiment...
fabby!!
Just beautiful! :)
Hope you're enjoying your trip...
can't wait to see pics! :)
I hope you are enjoying your trip and getting much deserved relaxation and fun!! Love your cards. I especially love the last one!!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! I swoon over that die that you used on the second card - where can I find it? I LOVE it! Your cards are so pretty - I love how you used the striped paper on the last card, too.
ReplyDeleteI think that the 3rd is my favorite. The layout, choices of paper and ribbon really compliment the dove :) And I like that you rounded just the one corner, too. I love the pinked edge and lace on the second, its such a jolly looking card with the musical paper behind, and what a cool die you used behind the sentiment! And I really like the layout you used on the first, that green and red together look great to make Santa stand out :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards, Joyce! I love the patterned strips behind the Santa image and the gorgeous doily/medallion on your second card. But my favorite is that sweet dove. I love the contrast of the striped paper with the clean moss cardstock on the card base and the one rounded corner. You've inspired me to have another go at that image!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, I hope you are having a fantastic holiday! All your cards are wonderful, I really like the second card, the spiral die cut is gorgeous. What a fabulous kit and good for you getting your cards done before you left.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce! My fave is the dove card:). It's so neat how you ladies create such diverse cards with the same materials!
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you! Your cards are great, love the one with the colored reindeer and sleigh and that pretty lace on the red text paper. I love how we all see such different things in the kits. Can't wait to hear about your trip.

ReplyDeleteSuch great cards, Joyce. I really love that last one!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is crazy, I dont even start thinking about holiday cards until November !
ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous, Joyce! Your Santa & sleigh card looks awesome done in traditional red & green. I really liked the paper you used on the second card but couldn't come up with a good way to use it. Yours looks fantastic with the lace, the pinked edge and pretty medallion. And I love the CAS design with the dove! Enjoy every minute of your trip--be sure to take lots of pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Joyce! Love that layered doily image over the lace, so elegant. Your cards are all so festive and are great designs that could easily be made during the hustle and bustle of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Joyce! You rocked this kit!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Joyce. I love the double doily effect and the final card is so stylish.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your latest 12 months of Christmas instalment Joyce & you never disappoint me! As usual you have utilised the kit so well, producing such fabulous cards :) Hope you're well xxx
