Good morning! I'm so excited to share with you this month's "Out of This World" kit for the
12 Kits of Occasions. The amazing Jeanne (of
A Kept Life) sent us the most incredible kit packed full with everything a cosmic loving heart could desire. Somehow my projects don't really showcase the awesome variety of goodies she sent. I guess I got started with MFT's Space Explorer and Out of This World and couldn't stop using them, so you'll definitely want to visit the
12 Kits of Occasions Blog next. In addition to having the regular design team's projects, we have four fabulous guests, so you're headed for inspiration galore. You can also find a really detailed supply list for all the products I used
HERE.
I'm still learning to use my Prismacolor pencils, but I'm loving them. I always knew that I'd be more comfortable with a pencil. It's just more forgiving. One MFT Space Explorer was not enough, so I colored a second one with a cute little blonde haired nephew in mind. :) I blended three different inks on the card base and placed this super fun die cut on top. It's the All Star Collage from Poppy Stamps, and ironically enough, when I initially pulled it out of the kit I had no idea how I would use it, but I love it here.
Next up is this is one of the cute aliens in MFT's Out of This World set. I love that Jeanne always includes googley eyes in her kits (at least since I've been on the team), and I think they make this little guy even cuter. The earth is from Altenew's Big World. I really loved this patterned paper, and I chose my color scheme from the colored dots.
I had big plans for making some really cool "space" backgrounds on my cards, but didn't quite get them done. However, I was pretty proud of myself for using a lot less white than I typically use. This last card is my husband's favorite...maybe mine, too.
Doesn't this view just make you smile? So much cuteness in this kit!
Don't forget to head to the 12 Kits of Occasions Blog next. Trust me, the projects are amazing and you won't want to miss them. Plus, you'll get to see tons and tons more of what was included in this "Out of This World" kit. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful and fun cards!! Hard to choose a fave, but I think I like the last one best, too. Just a fabulous use of the graphic patterned paper and the stamped elements. Love that you kept it all in blues and grays....perfect.

Fun cards from the kit.
ReplyDeleteYep! Smiling big here! Love your coloring and OMG! That ombre peeking through the die cut stars is gorgeous! Clever how you placed the clouds and pieced each scene together! I love the cut up word sentiment on the "You're out of this world" and all the blue on Have a blast - each thing looks like it was meant to be together!
ReplyDeleteEach and everyone is out of this world Lindsey! I can see on each card how much fun you had! Im sure both kids loved them too!
ReplyDeleteYes , I think you would like that split Poppystamps die it's perfect for our kits and sentiments. Such a fun and happy kit! Hope you have a happy weekend !
Lindsey, you mastered the pencils! All cards are darling, and I'm loving how you colored each image to perfection! I just couldn't get enough of the sweet little astronaut. Gonna have to get that set!
ReplyDeleteLindsey....these are all so much fun. I love your sweet images and how you colored them, adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about the pencils. I've started using mine more and love the results. I buy digitals from Sassy Cheryl's stamps and have signed up for her FB group. She does online classes using colored pencils and it really helps to watch how she does it. I can tell you loved this kit--it was really awesome! Love the design with the star collage and your wonderful use of the patterned papers. Bet you're as ready as I am to start in on more cards with the leftovers!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun kit! Your cards are truly "out of this world"!
ReplyDeleteLindsey, what a great job. Your coloring is insanely good. I love that you pieced up the sentiment with your alien card. I love the way you used your cloud border, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your style, and each of these cards is adorable! The backgrounds for each are perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lindsey, your cards are all so fabulous ... cute and so much fun! Love that little alien with the googly eyes ... he had me chuckling! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are truly out of this world, Lindsey, and so is your coloring! Don't tell me I "need" Prismacolors now. Such enabling goes on around these kitsand blogland. 😉
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Lindsey! I am in awe of the way you colored the little astronauts. They look incredible. Just like an illustration from a children's book!! You created some really really cute cards with this month's kit!
