The 12 Kits of Occasions: October 2014


Happy end of October!  We are posting one day early this month due to Halloween.  Our hostess this month is Jessica, and her kit is supposed to be all about fall and thanks.  I will add one more thing, because with Jessica, it is always about the cute, and this kit is no exception.  Take a look at all the cuteness Jessica sent in her kit.  Such wonderful fall colors and patterns, and cute critters, too.

I made 4 cards from Jessica's kit.  And, as always, I have so many fun leftovers that I will use to CASE some of the projects I see on reveal day.

I think this might be my favorite card.  I cannot believe that I do not already own this Lawn Fawn set.  How can that be?  I am linking this cutie up at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.






I used the sketch at Retro Sketches for my next card.  I loved the way Jessica inked up this beautiful stamp.  I need to ask her how she got so many colors onto one stamp.  I was able to use several of the different patterned papers on this card.





I used the sketch at Paper Players for my next card.  I fussy cut and colored these two cute little girls.



My last card literally made itself.  When I spread all my kit ingredients around, the turkey and pumpkin landed on top of the stamped subways.  I liked how it looked, and just glued them down.


That's all for me today.  I cannot wait to see what everyone else made with their kits.  Thanks so much, Jessica, for sending such a wonderful kit.  Please click here if you would like to see a supply list.  And, you can click here to see our 12 kits blog post.

Now, you can hop on over to the other designers in the group to see what they did with their kits.

  2. I thought I was so smart using the subway stamps as patterned paper! LOL, looks like I'm not as smart as I thought...you beat me to it! Love your cards...especially the coloring of the cute little Halloween trick or treaters and the sweet scene you created with the deer and the fox. Great job with Jessica's kit!

  5. So cute, Joyce! I especially love your little fairy tale girls card. I wanted to use them, but was too intimidated to color them. Super loved your MIM card, too...the stamped balloons were adorable.

  8. HI Joyce! Your post is so fresh to me because you used lots of ingredients I didn't. Now I see them in a whole new way. I was too much a coward to fussy cut those cute little critters. Yours are amazing! Note to self.. take chances!!! Oh yes.. and I love the embossed kraft background on Red and Goldie, and so smart to use the three colored word stamps all together. That never occurred to me! Looks wonderful!

  14. Joyce all of your cards are so gorgeous. I love how you coloured your LF die cuts. You used your sketches perfectly and I know we have totally different cards with the same sketch!! Remember you are the smart one who sleeps at night and got these gorgeous creations done before I even thought about starting. Great use of all the kit supplies!

  23. Joyce I love how you said that the pumpkin just "fell" onto the subway set... hahaha it looks so cute! For the thanks I actually used one of those kaleidoscope (I think that's what its called) ink pads that has 5 different colors in one pad... turns out pretty cool, huh? My favorite it the little girls... that is the cutest card! I love how you cut the sentiment in the pennant and put it up and down... it looks great!
