Kerri Bradford This+That Kits

This post is just to capture some projects I want to remember having made. They are This+That print and cut kits from KerriBradford.com. 

A few years ago I bought a pair of Printer's Trays, 7 Gypsies brand, and made some seasonal inserts for them for my sister and my aunt. I backed each segment with magnets so they could just pop them in and out for the different seasons. I cannot find photos of all of the ones I have made, but I snagged these off of my aunt's Facebook page.

The one above is the most recent I made - it was for Valentine's Day 2019. I modified a couple of the segments with my own items because the original kit called for odd-shaped family photos and I wasn't sure if those would be handy. So rather than blanks, I created some of my own. I now have even greater appreciation for Kerri's design work and creativity!

I have a few more to make (Thanksgiving, Family, July 4th). Sadly my sister lost hers in the great floods of 2018 and I can no longer find the discontinued trays anywhere. Kerri has also discontinued the kits in her shop (although she still sells the SVG portions), so it is the end of an era. I was glad to have the chance to make these while I could.

Happy Hanukkah

Here it is once again; well, actually, this year Hanukkah began on December 2. Even though I put a reminder in my calendar, I still did not get this card finished by then. Luckily for me, there are eight days to celebrate the Festival of Lights!

I cut out the greeting (kerribradford.com) and free-hand designed the candles. The Star of David was a free SVG file courtesy of the internet. I coloured the flames with Copic markers. The blue is a beautiful silk-finish cardstock. I cut everything out of the yellow and the blue, then popped the bits back into the yellow base, so it's all level and clever looking. :-)

I am in the throes of Christmas card making, so it was a challenge to stop and pivot a bit here, but I'm happy with the way this turned out.
