2025 - September - October

 I lost a dear friend and co-worker to oral cancer and made this card in Cricut Design Space.  I used the print then cut for the inside.

I made this card that I took inspiration from one I found online for our nephew's birthday.

I designed this card with inspiration from one I saw in a store for our Niece.  The writing on the front and inside is the pen feature on the Cricut.

I designed this card for our great-great nephew who unfortunately I don't know what he likes these days.  I used Paper Doll cartridge.  I found inspiration for the inside by searching the web.

I made this waterfall card for a great-great niece.  It is the first one I've ever made, it was such fun to design and assemble.

Our daughter and family are moving to another state.  I made this box card to celebrate their move.  Card design is Lori Whitlock svg files. I added the back piece and sentiment.

Also made New Home cards for grandkids to gift them cash to spend.  All was designed in Cricut Design Space, some print then cut with added touches of Wink of Stella. Granddaughter loves her cat so I had to include on her card.

Grandson loves to play video games so a card that I took inspiration from was perfect.  I uploaded a photo of their new home instead of the one that was suggested.

Last year I bought a Stampin Up - Paper Pumpkin kit - Nests of Christmas (October 2024) that makes six cards if you follow the kit instructions.  I watched video by Rachel Tessman and was able to get 30 cards out of the kit.  I love how they turned out.

I designed this card for our great-great nephew who is turning 7.  I had purchased a book with his name on it and the cover had a squirrel that inspired the idea for the card.  The stamps are Fluffy Squirrel set from Stampin Up.  I found the inside sentiment on line.

My hubby and I are celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary.  I found a similar card for inspiration and used images in Design Space.  I added another verse to the left inside of card that is just between us.

I liked the card I made my hubby so much I altered it for my Sister and her husband's anniversary that is a day after ours.

I designed this card for our great-great niece who is turning 9 and is a dancer.  The girl is from Paper Doll Cricut cartridge.

Great-great niece turns 1, I saw a similar card on Pinterest and used Design Space to create this shape card.  Minnie is from Disney and Friends Cricut Cartridge.  Words on front of card are written with Cricut with both glitter pens and repeated with Crayola Marker.  I added pink Stickles on cake and Wink of Stella on shoes, bow and dots in eyes.

I created Dad and Mom sympathy cards to have on hand for when needed.  Found inspiration for both cards within Cricut Design Space projects.  Added my own touch.  The paper on the dad card is SU.

2025 July - August

 My forever friend from childhood turns '60' this year.  I designed this card with Stampin Up Bike Ride Stamp/Die set, brick mask and Waterfront Stamp set, Sizzix Dies and sentiment I found on line. The balloon dies are from Poppy.  I use Wink of Stella for the glitter.  After I took the photo I also added more Wink of Stella to the bike frame.

Great-great niece is turning 5, I've had the bear image saved for many years (AlexDori-Purple-BROWN-GIRL-with-bow).  I print and cut the bear  twice, popped bottom one on foam dimensional and put top one on Action Wobble.  Words were print then cut in Design Space (DJ Flirt font).  Inside sentiment I found on line and placed another smaller bear in corner.  Front background paper is from a pack I've had over ten years.

Great-great nephew is turning '4'.  I got the SVG file for the dozer from Miss Kate Cuttables, the happy birthday is a die that I cut the Treble Clef off of.  The dozer slides.  The sentiment is print then cut with another smaller dozer inside.

Another great-great nephew turns '16', I made this bridge card with Stampin Up May 2025 Paper Pumpkin card base - cut apart, the 16 is a Sizzix die, the car a Maymay's Road Trip stamp that I fussy cut out as is the sentiments on back.  The trees were from SU Waterfront..

Another great-great nephew is turning '16' , I created a similar bridge card for him using the same Maymay's Road Trip stamps but I used an image from the web to print then cut of the vehicle he drives.

Great-great niece, twin sister to nephew turning '16' is a dancer.  I created this spinner card so that the dancer twirls.  The dancer is a Design Space image that I cut twice (once flipped).  I paper pierced the outfit on.  Sentiment I found on line.

I created this card from left over Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin parts for a dear friend who I was late giving her birthday card to. I use a Darcy embossing folder and sentiments are print then cut.

I designed this card off one I had seen on line for our daughter.  She and her family are in the process of moving very near the beach.  All done on Cricut.

After having lunch with a life lone friend who was visiting from out of state I made this pop out card using Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge.

I designed this card using Teddy Bear Parade Cricut cartridge and print then cut the sentiment inside for a great-great niece. I found inspiration from a card I saw on line.

I created this baby congratulations card from one I saw on the internet using Stampin Up All About Baby stamps and dies and a very old unbranded stamp for the inside.

I created this card that I've had in my head and on my heart for a long time using Stampin Up Flowering Rain Boots stamp and die for boots that I covered with clear embossing for shine.  Words are done in Cricut Design Space as Print then Cut. I made three of them as you never know when you need to cheer someone up.
