The 12 Kits of Occasion: July with Kim "Christmas in July"

The 12 Kits of Occasions theme this month is Christmas! What a wonderful relief from our high temps to play with some cold weather goodies! Our hostess this month is our very talented and sweet Kim from Cupcakes, Card and Kim. She sent a fun mixture of holiday stamps, great die cuts and lots of pretty papers. Lindsey does these great collages for us each month so below you can see some of the supplies in Kim's kit.

I really loved the kit, Kim, and now I'm inspired to use my leftovers and get out more Christmas themed supplies to start on this year's cards. Thanks so much for the inspiration and encouragement!!

I cut out some of the images from one of the papers that illustrate some of the hectic events of the season to use with the kitty and fun sentiment from Avery Elle.

I always love Pure Innocence images and this little girl is enjoying winter!

All these fabulous pre-stamped images and die cuts made this card easy peasy.

I think I overdid the color on my dark brown pup!

Time to send you on your way! There is always lots to see plus we are happy to have a special guest designer. Just click HERE to go to the 12 Kits blog where you will find links to all the different blogs. You can also find Kim's supply list at the top.

Thanks so much for joining us this month. Hope you find some inspiration!

Big celebration over at CAS-ology celebrating their 5-year anniversary!

Yay, I'm actually posting!! Our twin granddaughters are also celebrating. They turn 14 today! I just got my very first Waffle Flower order in the mail and these new stamps worked perfectly for their cards. Inspiration from a couple of crafty friends inspired me to try this wonderful company! A harlequin stencil and vellum balloons finished things off.

Stamps: Fruity Thank You (Waffle Flower), Birthday Wish (Verve)

Stencil: TCW Mini Harlequin

Balloon Dies: My Favorite Things

A very happy birthday to the girls and wishing CAS-ology many more years of crafty inspiration!

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend,

Sharron
