12 Kits of Christmas: February

Yay! Its that time again, for the 12 Kits of Christmas February Edition :) Didn't see January's? Did you stumble across this blog hop and you're wondering what its all about? Read all about it here on my January post.

This month, our kit was from Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter. Look at all the awesome goodies she sent!

And on to the cards I was able to create with this fabulous kit! First, a group shot:

And then the close ups. This is the first card I created with the kit. I was loving that she sent one of the bears cut out of felt! Even his little scarf was in felt, too :) And the snowflake embossing on the snowglobe was pretty awesome, too.

This is the second card I made and is one of my favorites. I love all the patterned papers that Cathy sent, and I love that they're not all the traditional Christmas colors. The neat text paper especially caught my eye! I used my Copics to give the polar bear a BG10 cool shadow and also a striped scarf to match the colors of the card.

There was a note in the kit that said to think long and hard about opening up the synthetic snow, well I gave it a shot. Next time I'm going to have to break out the Glossy Accents to hold it down though, because Tombo didn't work too well (there was a lot more snow when I started ;)

And I think that this last one is my favorite of the bunch. Cathy sent the snowglobe all cut out, so I knew I would definitely make a card with it. I did add the snow from the PTI snowdrifts die, but absolutely everything else on all four cards is from the kit except for the card bases.

So what do you think? What was your favorite? I'm excited that now I have 8 cards done for Christmas and its only February!
