December card kit

I'm still alive! I haven't had any time for crafting since starting to work full-time in August. Now I'm back to part-time until February, so I'm hoping to be able to spend time in my craft room!

Lori sent us this gorgeous kit for December, and I made these three cards. I had so much fun!

Happy Birthday!

My little girl turned 6 a couple weeks ago and I made her this card. Six balloons, lots of pink and purple.

I used he birthday trio die for the "birthday" and stamped the happy.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hello! Well-the summer has officially flown by and I'm back (on time this month) with my cards from our latest card kit. Jen sent us this amazing kit full of my favorite colors and some fun goodies that were new to me!

I still have a few more ideas for cards with what I have left from the kit. I really love getting these in the mail, thanks again Jen!

Hop around to see more cards from the rest of the group!

I'm playing along with this month's PTI Blog Hop! I chose the color combo below to use for my card.

Happy birthday

I got a new shower curtain for our bathroom over the weekend and I just love it! I kept thinking about how it would translate into a pattern for a card, so I finally just sat down to recreate it!

image

I used Happy Hexagon stamp set and the Hexagon cover plate (PTI). The banner die is from Stitched Sentiments.

Thanks for looking!

June Card Kit

Yes, I am a month behind! Since we've been out of school a few weeks now, I'm finally catching up on card making. I'll be one card ahead for Father's Day next year ;)

Jen sent us a super-packed, beautiful kit to work with for June. I made two cards and have plans for more!

image

For my first card, I used the great plaid paper from the kit, the blue paper as a layer to my impressed portion, and the twine for the balloons. The stamps I used are from Birthday Style and Sketched Shapes.

My second card showcases the lovely sailboat image that Jen included. I created a window-effect using a piece of paper that she had sent already die-cut and impressed. My dad loves boats, so this is perfect for him!

Thanks again, Jen, for a fun kit to work with, and thanks for taking a look at my cards!

Jen and Leigh also have cards using this kit:
