The 12 Kits of Occasions: June 'Here Comes the Bride'

Welcome to another addition of the 12 Kits of Occasions monthly reveals. This month our fabulous and talented hostess is Marybeth, Marybeth's Time for Paper. It's June, the month of brides and weddings and Marybeth's kit included a fantastic selection of papers, die cuts, stamped images and embellishments that are perfect for anything wedding or anniversary related. The soft colors are just luscious! Thank you, Marybeth, for providing such an awesome kit. I loved how easy everything seemed to go together. 

I needed an anniversary card for a 50th wedding anniversary so I was lucky that Marybeth's kit had arrived at the first of the month. Since this was for someone who loves to quilt I wanted to add something quilt related. I found these blocks in a PTI set that I have had for ages and embossed them in gold. The sentiment from PTI's Beautiful Butterflies is done on vellum and also in gold. Marybeth included the cut out hearts that were left after cutting out this gorgeous heart that was so perfect for the front of the card. I double coated one with gold embossing powder to make it appear more like metal and added it at the bottom.



This wonderful quote below could have been a card all by itself but I chose to use it on the inside and added another small double coated gold heart.



This next card uses more hearts that were colored with Copics and covered with Clear Wink of Stella. It may be hard to see but more Wink of Stella was added to the glasses to create even more bubbles.



Love these Mama Elephant stamps and dies!



I once again double coated a die cut with gold embossing powder. Loving the look!



The negative of the die cut used above makes a great shaker card. And isn't this sweet bird couple adorable!
