Yay it's time for this month's edition of the 12 Kits of Occasions!
Sharron is our hostess this month and the theme is 'here comes the sun'! She sent us an amazing kit that was so full of sunshine in the form of amazing stamps, die cuts and pretty papers to play along with. Being under the weather this past week I was only able to make three cards for today, but I have lots of kit left and over the next while I plan to post a few more projects. So without further delay let's get on with the hop...
My first card is also for this week's wildcard sketch at The Challenge #75. I stayed pretty true to the sketch using the glittery yellow butterfly from Concord & 9th!
My next card is also for this week's MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge #282. I had so much fun colouring the die cuts from Blissful Blooms and Polynesian Paradise. I lined them up in a row at the bottom of the Sizixx Rays embossed panel that I trimmed to be shorter the the card front. Then I completed it with the perfect sentiment! Both the coloured images and the embossed panel and popped up with foam tape.
For my last card I started by colouring the pineapple from Sunny Studio's Tropical Paradise! Then I paired it with some of the die cut works to build my sentiment and finally tied some of the Spellbinders linen thread to the top.
I am also submitting these to this week's Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!
Thank you Sharron for the awesome kit! Your timing for a package of sunshine was perfect!
Enjoy the rest of the hop!

As always, you've created 3 beautiful cards with your kit, Tracey! I love your sparkly butterfly on the first one, and how you placed the elements on your 2nd card!

It's great how you used sketch challenges to inspire your kit cards, Tracey. They are all wonderful.
I LOVE these! I'm completely wishing I had the supplies left to CASE your walking on sunshine card. And your layout with the butterfly is incredible. Love it! I almost combine the hello sunshine like you did...now I'm wishing for double of that hello die, so I could. :)
Fabulous cards to herald in summer, Tracey! So bright and cheerful! I love the first one using our sketch this week! Glad you played along with The Challenge again!
Tracey, your cards this month are really making me smile, they are all so happy! I love the iguana one, how everything is lined up so cutely and has the beautiful sunburst behind! The pineapple on is so bright and cheery, who wouldn't love getting that in the mail? And you definitely stayed true to the sketch on the butterfly card, and it turns out stunningly!
