Lindsey Larsen is our hostess this month at 12 Kits Of Occasions and she sent out the most incredibly BEAUTIFUL kit entitled All Is Calm for us to enjoy this month!
Just look at all the gorgeous papers and die cuts Lindsey included in her kit!! I could have created for days and days if I'd had more time! But I do have 5 cards to share with you today, so sit back and relax, and enjoy!
I think this is probably my favorite card of the 5...probably because I absolutely LOVE the word JOY and Lindsey die cut it from the most wonderful copper and shimmery paper! I added some white acrylic paint to the leaf die cuts included in the kit, and then adhered to the lovely stamped geometric paper along with a strip of the darker green cs and a thin strip of the copper paper. A simple copper bow completed this card.
Lindsey did all the work on this card with the die cutting...I simply added the stamped sentiment, a red scarf to the snowman, and adhered all to a CAS white and black card base.
This is probably my next favorite card...I love red, black, and white together!! Although this card is whimsical with the reindeer, I just love the embossed sentiment on the circle ornament and had fun combining the two! Can you see the shiny gems on the reindeer's noses?!
I loved this simple strip of trees that Lindsey stamped and also the lovely piece of vellum she included in the kit...I think they paired up just beautifully!!
I'm sad I didn't have sunshine this week to photograph this card especially, as it's once again using the beautiful copper paper Lindsey included in the kit, and IRL, this whole card just shimmers!!
And here's a photo of all of them together! I can't wait to see what my teamies made with this kit, and I know you will enjoy seeing all their creations too! You can check it all out right HERE and click HERE to see a list of all the supplies Lindsey used in her kit.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and a BIG thank you to Lindsey for her lovely, lovely kit...it truly was a piece of calm creating with it! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
A fantastic collection, Marcia ... as I saw each one I thought 'ha, that's my favourite' ... then I scrolled up and down, down and up ... and decided they're all so luscious that I couldn't possibly choose! That little red scarf'd snowman was calling my name though!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow...five simply fabulous and fun creations! Love all your sweet trio of reindeer, just so much fun! And the snow on your greenery on your first card, stunning!!! And so clever too. Can't wait to play with my leftovers.
ReplyDeleteThe neutral nature tones is soothing to look at in your group. I love the spattered leaves, the plaid background, the creche and especially the snowman's red popping scarf!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful cards Marcia!! The three reindeer are adorable with their blingy noses and I love the red, white and black too. The snowy greens on your JOY card are perfectly wintery and the copper card is stunning! I'm glad I have lots of leftovers for CASing.
ReplyDeleteFive beauties, Marcia - love them all and it's too hard to pick a fave!! But I do especially love the trio of reindeer on the black/white plaid!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and varied group of cards, Marcia! Love that greenery with the snowy splatters! The black and white with a little pop of a red scarf on the snowman it CAS perfection! Love the fun reindeer and little trees! And that Christmas bauble is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful assortment of cards Marcia! Your sparkly swag is ever so pretty and I love that you added a teeny scarf to the snowman! Lots of prettiness from Lindsey's fabulous kit!
ReplyDeleteOh Marcia! You know what really hit me when I was looking at these beauties? All the little accents you added.. the frost on the foliage, the little red bow on the snowman, the gems on the tree tops.. you really brought everything to life.. really delightful!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by your designs and details, Marcia! The snow you put on the leaves looks amazing, and that little red scarf on the snowman is fantastic! Your reindeer in red with that red bow on the ornament look great on the black and white, your gems are a wonderful touch on the row of trees, and I love your copper/white/cream color combination on your large ornament card! You did Lindsey proud I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful array of cards Marcia!! Your designs are always amazing and I love how clean they all look...
ReplyDeleteMarcia I love all five cards you made with Lindsey's beautiful kit! The frosty looking pine needles on the JOY car are a beautiful touch! Love the fun reindeer over the ornament and with the plaid. Your Bethlehem town Merry Christmas card is beautiful in those tones with just the littlest bit of red from the scarf tooooo cute! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Love and Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job with Lindsey's amazing kit -- love them all! You've added such wonderful touches to each one. The snowy touches are the leaves are so pretty. Loved the red scarf on your little snowman, such a sweet touch. And the reindeer with red accents make such a fun design, especially with the shiny noses!!
