It's the 16th of March, which means it's time for our Four of a Kind post. I can't believe that we have been doing this for 7 months. How time flies. If you are new and want to know what's going on, please click here to read the details of our Four of a Kind group. If you would like to see the other 6 posts, please click here.
It was my turn to be hostess this month, and I chose to use the 'On My Couch' stamp set and some pretty patterned paper from October Afternoon. Here are some pictures of the kits I sent to Cathy, Kim and Renee.
I am just on the edge of my seat, wondering what they made with their kits. They have given me hints, but I won't see anything until we all go live at the same time.
Here are four cards that I made with the same kit I sent to them:
I was able to use the lamps and a sentiment from Lighten Up, because it came in the mail after I had already sent out my kits. This card was inspired by this card from Melissa Bickford.
The other three members of Four-of-a-Kind are:
Cathy Weber: Empty Nest Crafter
Kim Heggins: Cupcakes, Cards and Kim
Renee Lynch: It's a Patchwork Life
Please stop by their blogs, if you haven't been there already, and see what they have created for our Four-of-a-Kind project.

I love the picture of how you packaged up all the sweet kits! The Farmhouse collection was a perfect match for On My Couch! I love those buttons you made! Your cards are all wonderful! I especially love the kittie sitting on the couches!
ReplyDeleteJoyce you outdid yourself. First your kits were excellent! I love the choices of colours and papers and your packaging is just fantastic! I love what you created, it has forced me put another not purchased YET stamp set on my list!
ReplyDeleteWow! Joyce sure looks like you sent out an amazing kit! The rosette you made is so pretty. I have to say if I saw any of these cards last night I would have a larger PTI order, I guess it's a good thing I didn't. Your cards are just adorable, love the second from the last, that embossed white paper is great for a wall. Beautiful cards and kit Joyce. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I will be able to remember all the details to write this, but all I can say is WOW! I love what you did with your kit. Joyce, this is just a fabulous month for us, your cards are so great, especially how you used the filagree border die, That stands out so nicely, your last card with the two lamps is my favorite, the lamps look like they were meant for that set. I also like how you used the delicate red diecut and the rick rack. Thanks for sending us such a wonderful kit, I really loved it!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! They are all terrific!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute cards! You put together an amazing kit, Joyce. I love that stamp set with the couches and you showed how versatile it is. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh how Wonderful all your cards are using this set! Cute! Thanks for leaving the link on the forum.
ReplyDeleteJoyce...Oh my goodness, your cards are as wonderful as your kit. From the looks of your cards, you would never know you did not have a plan before you started putting these kits together. I love how you use the doilies behind the couch, I tried so hard to figure out a way to incorporate those but could not, now that I have ideas I can put together a few more cards. Thank you again for making this month's 4 of a Kind challenge a fabulous one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little kit you put together for everyone Joyce - made me smile just looking at them, but my smile got wider when I saw your wonderful cards :D Can I just say, your offer to be my shipping buddy left me astonished - it's good to know there are such good, kind people in the world (prepared to help a stranger thousands of miles away!) I'm in awe :) Have a wonderful weekend Joyce, you are a lovely lady xxx

ReplyDeleteJoyce, your kit was just fabulous right down to the packaging with the belly band. You provided the gals so much variety that they all came up with such different creations. Your cards are adorable and love your floral rosette that you made. Such talent, kiddo!

ReplyDeleteAck!! Those are SO adorable!! I want to sit down in that chair right next to that kitty cat.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you made such an awesome kit for everyone :) I just love that you reused your PTI boxes and even decorated them with a cute belly band! I love all the funky patterns you chose for the chairs, and that neat houndstooth impression folder...where did you get that?! My favorite two cards are the last two. I love those two chairs with the table in between and the two lamps on either side of the couch :)
ReplyDeleteYou're making me sorry I sold this set! Fabulous cards, Joyce!
