The 12 Kits of Occasions: June with Joyce "Birthdays to Die 'Cut' For"

One of my most needed type of cards is birthdays. So what a treat when I received my kit for the June 12 Kits of Occasions. Joyce, our wonderful hostess, sent an amazing collection of die cuts, stamped images and sentiments plus some great papers---all designed for this month's theme "birthdays! Gosh, there were so many cool options. And, as always, I still have lots left for creating later! Thank you, Joyce, for a really fun month. And one of the great things about using die cuts is that cards come together so quickly. :)

Below is a collage showing the variety we had to work with.

GOTTA LOVE BLACK AND WHITE WITH ACCENTS OF RED!

I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THIS EMBOSSING FOLDER THAT I GOT ON SALE FROM A LOCAL SCRAPBOOK STORE BUT I DID FIND OUT THAT IT DOESN'T DO WELL USING LIGHTWEIGHT CARDSTOCK. AFTER TWO SHREDDED VERSIONS, I SWITCHED TO 100 LB. CARDSTOCK FROM WPLUS9.
