The 12 Kits of Christmas: December



I'm here with the latest edition of our 12 Kits of Christmas. This is the last post for this group for the year.  What started as a crazy idea by our very own Renee has taken us through the entire calendar year, with monthly posts of Christmas cards.   If you are wondering what you have stumbled into, please click here for more information.  If you would like to see all the cards that everyone in the group has posted, please check out this pinterest board.  There is a lot of holiday inspiration on that board.

This month's kit was generously provided by Sharron of On Papillon Wings. I adore everything in this kit, which had enough goodies to make at least a dozen cards.  I had to stop myself at 6.  Here is a picture of the kit.  I think I hit the jackpot this month, because most of my cards just assembled themselves.  It was truly a fun kit to work with.

 Here are the 6 cards I made from this kit:














and, my favorite of the bunch:





Well, that's it for me.  I've kept you long enough.  Now, please head over to see what everyone else has done with Sharron's kit.  I still have a lot left over, and so I am eager to see what everyone else did, and what I can CASE with my leftover supplies.  A huge thank you to Sharron, for putting together such a wonderful kit.  And, if you have any questions about supplies, just check the list that I'm sure Sharron will have in her post.

Here is a list of the other members of The 12 Kits of Christmas.  Please stop by their blogs and check out what they have done this month.

We've got some changes coming starting in January.  For now, we are saying good bye to Cathy and Suzanne.  I will miss them both terribly, but I wish them the best.  And, we will be saying hello to two new members, as well as changing our format a bit.  Stay tuned to see what we have in store for 2013.  I promise it will be interesting.


Thanks for Visiting

  4. Joyce, wow 6 cards! I am so jealous that you got the kit with the self assembling cards! They are so fabulous. Your little snowmen are just too cute all decked out in red, so festive. My favorite card is your last one with the 2 deer and your embossed tree, just beautiful! I have to say that I love your coloring too and that sweet little fox is just too cute, I just might send you mine for a little coloring??? Another month of wonderful Joyce!

  6. Oh, Joyce, they are all fabulous! Love your little snowmen! I just got the Lil Inker dies and am so excited about how well they work. It gives such a great finishing touch to cards. You did such a fantastic job with the patterned papers too. Love the mitten paper with your sled scene and the fun look of the pp on the bird card. I adore your deer too. I wasn't sure how to use that paper and now see it used for a background and love it. Hope you are having a great trip. Stay safe and have a wonderful New Year's celebration.

  8. All 6 of your cards are fantastic Joyce. I adore those snowmen on the stitched rectangle. The joy snowflake card and I love that you used the mitten background with the sled silhouette, excellent colouring and the birds in the birch tree and of course the deer scene. Happy New Year Joyce, we have become such great friends this year and lots of good times to come! xoxo
