Hi everyone! For those of you in the States, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's the last day of the month and time for the 12 Kits of Occasions group to reveal this month's creations. The theme is "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and what could be more appropriate. Have you gotten your decorations out and started your shopping? Did anyone jump into the rush of Black Friday? Definitely not me!!
Our wonderful and very talented hostess this month was Kim, Cupcakes, Cards and Kim. And below is a photo of all the goodies we each received. Our kits were stuffed full of fabulous stamped images and sentiments, wonderful die cuts and plenty of great embellishments. Thank you so much, Kim--I loved your kit!!

Kim included several Santa images. This was such an easy card to make and one of my favorites. Kim even included that fantastic stamped envelope. I used my die cut 'Merry' on another card but had the same die set so I cut out a dark green version for this 'Merry Christmas'.
Below is the inside of the card.
Another great Santa! I was tempted to add some color but decided to stay with the black and white image and add this gorgeous die cut done in silver.
I thought the inside should be coordinated on this card too!
I added embossed snowflakes to go with this sweet bunny. All the snowflakes were brushed with clear Wink of Stella but that unfortunately doesn't show in the photo. Love the large framed die cut!
This next card was so easy. The papers are the front and back of a single sheet. Perfect design to use the jingle bells Kim included!
There were a couple of sheets of black cardstock so I thought black would make a great background for the sweet owl. I added a birch tree die cut using a Taylored Expressions die and a Mama Elephant sentiment that went with the 'Merry' in my kit.
Hope you find some inspiration for your holiday cards from all of the 12 Kits designs. That is if you haven't gotten everything done already!!! Just click HERE to connect with the 12 Kits blog where you can find links to all the other designers' blogs. A list of all the materials included in Kim's kit can be found at the top of the page.
Enjoy the hop1 And thanks so very much for dropping by,

beautiful cards! love love love the tree card with the bow and bells!!
What beautiful cards you created!! I love the tree card with the jingle bells and that last one with the adorable owl!!
Hi Sharon ,hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
As always your cards are amazing. I love the card that you set on top of the printed envelope. Your tree card with split printed paper is beautiful . hope you're enjoying the rest of your weekend.
Sharron...hope your Thanksgiving holiday was a wonderful one. So happy you loved your kit and I loved that you used the envelope too, so fun with your card. And you did the insides too, just adorable. I love how you took that piece of patterned paper and used both sides on one cards and those festive jingle bells, the perfect way to finish it off.
These are all so wonderful. I like how you did the inside of the first two. What a nice touch. Your last card stole my heart. I knew I was saving that owl for something, and now I know just what. Those trees were just made for him.
Oh, yeah, I'm seeing lots of inspiration here, Sharron, and I really appreciate that!! Your cards are spectacular - even the insides!! Hugs, Darnell
Hi Sharron! I am so glad you showed the inside of your cards. You made me see the left over sentiments in a new light, I think I can't use them because they are on a smaller piece of paper - but you showed me I'm way wrong! I love how you used the twine and the bells, and the pretty embossing peeking through the fancy cut sentiment square. You've given me lots of good ideas today, and taught me a good lesson. I'll waste less now!
I can't even pick a fave these are all so wonderful! That owl in the birch tree is trying to nudge his way to the front, though :) Love the Santa with the plaid background and the hunter green Merry Christmas...a most jolly and festive card. And that sweet bunny with the embossed winter snowflakes and stitched hill in the background is ADORABLE!
Sharron, I truly love every single one of these cards. And I'm thrilled that I have the supplies to CASE them. Love that we used the tree paper so similarly. :)
