Well, it seems as though November has come and gone, and that means it is time for my 12 Kits of Occasions post. Our theme this month is Christmas and our hostess is Kelly of Gingham Girl. Kelly sent such a wonderful kit with so many wonderful stamped images, die cuts, and the cutest patterned paper.
I did something a little different this month. I wanted to create some cards I could add to the stack that I am sending to the Caring Hearts drive. So, I challenged myself to use up the entire kit.
Here is a picture of the kit:

It was a really, really big kit--and I have to say that, although I tried, I could not use it all up. I ended up making 1 tag and 18 cards, and yes--I still have some leftovers.
I will get right to the photos, because there is a lot to look at.

That's it for me this month. I am interested to see what everyone else did. I still do have a few things left over that I can use for CASE-ing. Thank you so very much, Kelly, for sending such a wonderful kit. You can also see a complete supply list on the 12 Kits of Occasions blog, by clicking on the Supplies tab on the upper right.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Joyce, that's a LOT of cardmaking. I think I would be intimidated to use what's in a kit in it's entirety. You did such a wonderful job putting all the supplies together. Pat yourself on the back for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW what a pretty assortment of cards Joyce!! You did an amazing job with this kit!
ReplyDeleteSince you told me you made so many cards...and you added three more and a tag since you talked to me, I went ahead and refilled my coffee cup as I new I would be looking at your post for a while. Wow, you are officially the winner of "who made the most" of Kelly's kit! What amazes me is all of the cards are so different too! I will just tell you my favorite as there are too, too many to comment on them all...the Merry Christmas one with the three panels, angled with the white panel on top...it was Card #12! Loved them all...Happy Hanukkah Joyce!
ReplyDeleteOh Joyce - each one better than the last - fabulous cards!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...wow...and wow! I know you said you made lots of cards but you were not joking, I think this has to be 12 Kits record with the most cards made from one kit to be posted. You are amazing, simply amazing. I love them all, each and everyone of them. They just seem to get better as you scroll down to see the next. Love them all Joyce, you totally rocked this kit!
ReplyDeleteJOYCE! I'll scream it again...JOYCE!! I can't even believe all this goodness you created from the kit! Such amazing designs and use of that patterned paper. I absolutely love the Christmas tree with the strung lights against the chalkboard background! The Merry & Bright card with the stitched square and the big red ribbon is another fave, so stunning! And how 'bout that sweet reindeer colored in brown, LOVE! And the scottie tucked inside the window tag, so cheery! The sweet patterned tree with the simple sentiment and the lovely white snowflake card...whoa, I just kept scrolling up and down over and over to take it all again!!! I am so inspired by YOUR designs with the kit...glad that it was with my stuff so I can get the stamped images out to case YOU! Thanks so much for sharing so much creativity with this kit! :)X0
ReplyDeleteYou made ALL sensational works of art, Joyce! What a kit that must have been that you STILL had leftover goodies after making these marvelous creations!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWow! You managed to create a lot of really awesome projects! Such a diverse collection. Fabulous!
ReplyDelete18?????? That aside, I love WHY you made and challenged yourself to make so many. They are truly all beautiful and those that receive them will have a little bit of Joy when opening them.
ReplyDeleteI truly can not narrow a favorite down but if I had to it would be the little snowman in all the colorful snowdrifts of pattern paper! LOVE that idea. I just loved your post Joyce!!!! Happy Holidays!!!
I'm bowing in awe, Joyce ... at you making 18 amazing cards (it'd take me over a month!) ... and at you doing it for such a wonderful cause. Beautiful projects ... every single one! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteJoyce you just blew me away!!!! This HAS to be a 12 kits record of most cards created with one kit, EVER! I am totally impressed :) My favorite is absolutely the adorable snowman card on the patterned paper snow...I just love that :) The merry and bright on the snowflake paper is a close second, though . It is so classic and beautiful. You truly used the patterned paper in this kit to the max, I am so impressed!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! I can't believe all the cards you made Joyce - all so different too! You amaze me. Wonderful kit Kelly put together and so many wonderful elements to choose from. Fabulous! Looks like you couldn't wait to get crafty again!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful plan for your cards. And you are definitely the winner of 'who made the most'! They are all so awesome! I can't pick a favorite but I love your snowman with the patterned hills. Also love your deer card and the angled design---well, just all of them! Beautiful job with Kelly's kit!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You sure made plenty and each one is wonderful! I can see you had fun with Kelly's kit Me too! I am just going to say all your cards are amazing this month!

Joyce these are all so amazing!! I love them ALL! Especially the reindeer card and the embossed snowflake one! I just keep tabbing up to look over and over again! They are all so fabulous!! The notebook diecut one, the sweet tag with ornament! A FABULOUS post my dear!!
ReplyDeleteAre you stinkin' kidding me? Wowie, you were not kidding 18 cards!! Actually 18 fabulous and wonderfully put together cards. So glad I have an extra paper pad so I can CASE all of your cards and projects. No favourites, but the dog inside the tag--too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, 18 cards?!! You were on a roll this month! Wow!! And every one is so inspiring--I don't know how you do it. My favorite is definitely the smiling snowman in the patterned hills, but I'm also a huge fan of how you used the chalkboard sentiments on the cards toward the end. I love the pretty banners on the "warm winter wishes" card, too. I will definitely be coming back here for inspiration to use up the rest of my kit!
