It's the last day of April (sniff, sniff...I love this month), which means I get to share a few cards I made with this month's
12 Kits of Occasions. Tracey (from
In My Creative Opinion) was our fabulous hostess, with a color scheme I adore. And if you are a coffee drinker, you will especially love this kit filled with oodles of darling sentiments and die cuts. But...you'll have to check out the
12 Kits of Occasions Blog and all of my talented teammates creations to see the majority of this fabulous kit. As I'm sure you've noticed, I just haven't had much time to craft lately, and I'm rusty for sure. I was also in desperate need for some thank you cards. I never
ever have enough of those around, so I {selfishly} abandoned the theme of the kit and made what I needed.
First up is this darling bear from Essentials by Ellen's All Inside set. I love it's cleverly designed die that cuts the arms, which are holding the single out-of-color-scheme object Tracey included in the kit, a red heart.
This next card features my favorite paper from the kit. I just love these colors together! Looking at it makes me wish I had had time to make more cards! Also, I was super excited to use one of the stitched panels my sweet friend
Michele (who I met in real life this month!!!) gave to me.
And finally a card featuring the twine, sequins, and super cute donut dies from the kit. I thought this sentiment from Clearly Besotted's An Apple a Day finished it off perfectly. My favorite part, though, is the glossy accented chocolate glaze on the donut. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but even I think this donut looks pretty tasty. Sadly, that is the end of my cards for today. The good news, though, is that there is a lot more to see from this kit, so please head over to the
12 Kits of Occasions Blog where you will find links to all my teammates projects and our special guest designer...the person I think of literally every time I hear the word coffee.
Plus, make sure to leave comments along the way as Tracey will be drawing a winner from the comments to receive a special prize. I hope this weekend is a beautiful one for all of you! Thanks so much for spending some of it here with me. :)
I love the colors in this month's kit as well. Your cards are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou are showing off the versatility of this kit! I love all you designs. Wonderful use of the kit in a non-traditional way. The papers are to die for! I would love to know the brand on the wonky stitched die..
ReplyDeleteIt's My Favorite Things's Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die....it's sold out at the moment, but it is high on my wish list. : )
DeleteThanks! I'll add it to my wish list on MFT. One more item can't hurt anything...
DeleteSuch sweet sweet cards!
ReplyDeleteI don’t see any rust here just gorgeous cards made with this awesome kit! I love the stacked cups and the added flower! I hope you had a wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteWhen my granddaughter Ava saw my iPad and the picture of Meg she thought it was her and I thought the same thing. They look so much alike.
Love them all! So enjoying what we all came up with. We both put the heart in the bear's paws. Love that you surrounded your sweet guy with hearts. Your donuts look yummy (I AM a fan of all things chocolate!), and the stacked cuts are adorable with my favorite dp too! Hope your birthday was a great one!
ReplyDeleteOh my Lindsey....your cards are all simply wonderful, no rust in sight other than maybe the color. I love your sweet little holding the big red heart, such a sweet way to say thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable cards!! I LOVE this fun kit!! Really love the fun little bear with the stamped hearts behind him and the donut one looks so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet thank you card! Lovely cards, Lindsey :o)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Lindsey, I love all three of these! The little hearts behind the bear are darling and I'm smitten with the flower you added to the cup! Cute CAS design with the donuts. Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI must tell you how awesome you are for using both cups, and both donuts on your darling cards, Lindsey! I think those donuts might be stale by the time we have our leftovers month!! =] But I'm saving them anyway! LOve your cards - happy to see you've had a little play time, sweet girl ... xx

Great cards, Lindsey. I'm a firm believer in making the cards you need and the thank you bear is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your kit cards--they're always a treat for the eyes. And I'm smitten with that heart holding bear!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, these are all so wonderful! The bear with a background of hearts is so adorable and makes a fantastic thank you card. Love the added flower on your cup card and those yummy donuts. I plan to order that die as donuts are always good to have on hand! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet cards. Love the colours and my favourite is the bear card. Love the hearts on the background and CAS design. Thanks for playing along Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge

Nothing rusty here - smitten with all your cards... you have a beautiful way of doing CAS - how can they be clean when they have perfect balance and don't look like they are missing a thing? Love the donuts - simple perfection , and the bear on the background of hears is brilliant. Love the stacked cups too and how you decorated them - adding the flower .. so clever!
ReplyDeleteYou've not lost your amazing touch, Lindsey ... all your cards are fabulous! I'm in love with that little bear ... so sweet carrying that delicious, sweet, oversized heart! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove how you made the cards you needed--and used all the kit elements in such creative ways. Love all your cards.
ReplyDeleteLindsey I don't think you abandoned the kit at all! The kit has a theme in which we each make what we want, the fact you made what you needed was so smart!! That first bear with the hearts is my favourite and I love the xoxo sentiment, what a fabulous script! Adorable cards, so glad you were able to find time to play.
