Are you ready for spring? I hope so--this month our card kit was focused on spring and Easter, so, I hope you are ready for some bright and happy spring cards. Our hostess this month is Tracey from In My Creative Opinion. This is Tracey's first month hosting a kit, but you would think she was an old pro if you saw her kit. Here is a picture of what Tracey sent:

The paper and colors were to die for this month--just so pretty, bright and fun. I heard lots of chatter about the paper being too pretty to cut, but not for me! I was just wrapping up my Pattern Play on-line class when I took out my kit and started making my cards. So, that pattern paper went under the knife right away--you may see some designs that look a little familiar.
I made 6 cards, and have lots and lots of leftovers . Pretty happy about that.
That's it for me today. If you want a complete supply list, head on over to Tracey's blog. I am eager to see what the other members of our group did, and I'll bet that you are too. Thank you so much, Tracey, for sending such an incredible kit. My cards just flew together all on their own.
Here is the list of participants:

the patchwork quilt...
so many great things with all of them!
And you used your paper! :)
This was such a fun kit...
love seeing these bright, happy colors!
Look at you Joyce - I think you are evolving! Immediately I am struck with all the clever ways you used the Pattern Paper - It's almost like - did we get the same kit here? I love the one with the butterfly and the quilted look of the papers - you really thought "outside the box" and repackaged everything to make an entirely unique look of your own. I mean all the banners, the butterfly, and the quote bubbles - simply amazing!!
ReplyDeleteJoyce! Your cards are all so fabulous. I absolutely love the banner you created from the journaling paper, the quilting you did and the Add a splash of colour card. I will definitely be CASEing your designs. Love what you did.
ReplyDeleteOh, Joyce, so amazing. So, so amazing. This is like attending a patterned paper graduate-level class!!
ReplyDeleteYou girls and your 12 Kits has become my top go-to inspiration every single month. It is a joyous riot of creativity and yet so intriguing to watch you all give the ingredients your own special touch! Thank you all so much!!
You really put the pp to work in such fun ways! I especially love the negative cut out with the pp peeking out from behind! So fun!!! And so many fun and different designs!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright patterned papers against the white base - the cards are terrific, but my absolute favorite is the first one - you really should link it up to the Moxie Fab Challenges.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I see a patterned paper pro at work here! I mean it when I say gorgeous cards Joyce, wow ! I love your creative word bubble card and the impression plate you used. The patchwork and banners cards are beautiful as well! Wonderful work here my friend!
ReplyDeleteJOYCE!! LOVE these! That first one totally steals my heart! Love, love your three speech bubbles, and that one of them is negative with flowers instead of words inside!!! Such a great design. The second one has a fun touch with the recessed sentiment. And the banners/sequins on your Splash of Color card are just perfect. Fantastic job on these!!!
ReplyDeleteA+ for all of your stunning cards! You really learned so much from our class, you must have been teacher's pet because each one of your cards is perfect, A+ on each one. I loved your use of impression plates, your word bubble card is just too darn cute! Those little birds sitting on the banners is adorable too but my favorite card is card 5, with those colorful banners and the sweet flower, too cute!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing bunch of cards! You are such a pro at combining the papers--that class sure paid off! My favorite is the first with the negative speech bubble and white embossed panel, but there are tons of great ideas to CASE on every card this month.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of all these cards Joyce it seems like you made great use of your patterned paper class and Tracey's cute kit. I love all the different stamp sets you used, my favorite is the word bubble card and also the birds on the banner card. I also loved that splash of color card. Great job and it looks like you were so busy...6 cards? Wow!
ReplyDeleteVery fun cards Joyce!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of cards. i too like the first card. The texture impression and bubble with that fantastic pattern paper is awesome together.
ReplyDeleteI also love the banner one and the quilted card. The colors on the last card are so bold and perfect for spring.
I LOVE that one with the word bubbles! Such a sweet and unique design, Kara! Also loving all of the little banners incorporated into these designs...such fun little tabs of color that really POP with your CAS designs. The quilty card is right after my own heart ;) Awesome kit projects for spring!
ReplyDeleteGOODNESS GRACIOUS! I just called you Kara, Joyce!!! I must have gone "off list"! So sorry...but everything else I said was truer than true!!! XO
ReplyDeleteWOW, you have become quite the expert with patterned paper designs! Two things I know I need now--to take that class and to buy some speech bubble dies!!! LOVE them all but my favorites are #1 and #5! Both are such awesome designs and I love all the white with perfectly placed elements! Super job with this month's kit, Joyce!!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all so beautiful, Joyce! You are really rocking the patterned paper on your cards! I think the first one is my favourite-- love the speech bubbles!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, what seriously cool cards this month! That first one with the word bubbles is just too cute, and fun! I love the quilted look card, it really showcases those awesome papers in this month's kit, and then I love the banner card and how you cut out the little banners from the patterned paper, that really looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLoving how you applied the Pattern Play class to your projects. They are all beautiful! I love y'alls posts for the 12 Kits!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow student in the Pattern Play class, I'd say you learned your lessons well. Your cards are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJoyce.....I really enjoyed your post this month!!! I LOVE the speech bubble card sooooo much! You need to link it up to the Moxie Fab World speech bubble challenge as it ends tomorrow!!!! My other favorite is the patchwork rd you created with the pattern papers!!! That class sure must be fun......I could so use some help with my hoarded pattern papers!!! LOL
