Welcome back for another round of fun with The 12 Kits of Occasions! This month's hostess is Amy, and our theme is Christmas. It's never too early to add a few more holiday cards to the stash!
I couldn't wait to add the wonderful texture of the red burlap to a card. It makes a perfect backdrop to the poinsettias and pretty sentiment. I added some stamped leaves from Waltzingmouse's Big Bloom Poinsettias.
My second card uses some of the beautiful paper Amy included along with a stamped wreath and sentiment. Very simple and easy to mail.
My last card for today uses the burlap patterned paper and beautiful Verve snowflakes along with a sentiment that I just love.
I'm short on small talk today--it's crazy busy around here as summer winds down. I'll leave you with a reminder to visit the 12 Kits blog to see previews of the rest of the group's cards and links to their blogs. You can also refer to the full list of supplies included in this month's kit. Rumor has it there's also a giveaway this month. *hint hint*
Have a fantastic day!

Okay at first I thought people were making those pennants like on the last card and I was like wow, a lot of people made those... its paper! I'm jealous I really like that paper! But it is a beautiful card :) I think the first one is my favorite, though I just love the way you perfectly placed everything on the card and put it at a diagonal!
Gorgeous cards Christina! I love them all. The burlap texture is incredible. Hope you are having a great last few days of summer.

I couldn't figure out the burlap or the row of pennants and you used them both! Your first is my fave Christina! Absolutely gorgeous! I love the embossing and the pearls! SO much texture here. The last is fabulous too with the mix of papers and embellishments! I keep seeing something new the longer I look.

All are gorgeous, Christina! Your card will the burlap is just amazing! Love the embossing and the placement of the poinsettias and pearls! Great way to use the snowflakes and the red banners on the last card too!
Your cards are just stunning, as usual. I love how you used that pennant paper, and that red burlap. I was stumped on the burlap, and now am so very glad I saved mine.
Beautiful - I love the rustic look of the fabric. Each is so warm - perfect for the holidays!
The first card is my favorite, the red burlap is pretty! And all of your cards are gorgeous, too! Thank you for the inspirations!
Christina you created such fantastic cards. I love how you used the burlap, I was stumped with that but you used it perfectly. The last card is very fun with the banner!

Oh the pennants paper is so cool with the red banner border...like they are all floating in the air with the pretty snowflakes! Love how rustic and festive the red burlap is with the poinsettias. Everyone used that wreath in a different way which is so cool...love how you double die cut yours to make an inner circle for the sentiment!
Great Christmas cards! WOW!
Even though I've been short on the comments I want you to know how much I enjoy seeing your Christmas kits each month. They are a great source of inspiration. The burlap card has me drooling!
Wow! I love what you did with your cards Christina! I really love the red burlap layered over the embossed background. I think the addition of the leaves is PERFECT and gives just that little bit more color to the card. Love the little pearl centers to the poinsettias too! Thanks for working your magic with my kit!!
