The 12 Kits of Occasions - Christmas in July


Good morning! I'm so thrilled that my friend Kim asked me to be the Guest for the Christmas-in-July edition of The 12 Kits of Occasions!

This is a group of 12 crafters who trade 'kits' each month and make several cards using the goodies included. The photo above gives you an idea of all the amazing products that were included in the kit this month and I really felt like Christmas had come in July! I had so much fun creating several cards!

As you can see the kit included quite a bit of patterned paper - this is something I don't use very often, so it was fun to come up with different ways to incoprorate it into my cards.

  3. Welcome, Ardyth, to our little 12 Kits group this month! Lovely to see your use of patterned paper - it's part of the beauty of this group for me, as I don't often use it either! Kim's papers truly made it easy though, right?
    Darling cards!

  8. So happy to have you joining us this month Ardyth! Your cards are all fantastic. You should use patterned paper more often, you did an amazing job with it! I love your Dashing by card and the sky you created for the Bethlehem card. Wonderful work, all of them!

  10. It's so wonderful having you with us the month, Ardyth! Love all your fabulous cards! You really did an amazing job with Kim's pretty patterned papers. I also had the one with the vehicles and I thought it was so cute but couldn't think of anything clever. Your design is just perfect! And your Bethlehem sky is beautiful!
