2024 - Sep - Oct

 Busy few months for celebrations.  This card was created for our nephew with Stampin Up Whiskey Business stamp set.  I die cut, colored with pencils and Stampin Blends, then added embossing ink and clear embossing power to each piece.  Background was ran through dry embossing folder.  Inside test I created in Word and printed. 

I love Dreaming Tree SVG files, I created this from one of their files for a great-great niece. Front flap opens down and holds a gift card or cash. I did some sponging of the edges and there is Wink of Stella for glitter.  Because it is for a three year old I used stickles instead of rhinestone on flower. Very labor intensive but love making these.

This is the year for weddings for family and friends.  I created this card in Design Space for my best friend's daughter's wedding.  There is glitter on the white area of the dress.  Writing is all done in Design Space with print then cut.  The two overlapping hearts were die cut and the other heart is a punch.

While I sent a cash gift I also made this floating ornament of one of their engagement photos.

This wedding card for my nephew was created in Design Space.

My tradition for family weddings is to make a personalized casserole dish.  I do the design in Design Space, cut out stencil and to use on bottom exterior of dish and use glass etching cream.

Created this card with inspiration from Karen Titus of Stamping on Back Porch/  Mostly used Stampin Up products and a couple of others.

I created this card for our great-great nephew's birthday.  I'm not sure of what he is into so I figured what little boy doesn't like race cars. I used Stampin Up Racing By and print then cut in Design Space for inside sentiment.

The card was created for a great-great niece.  I used SU Bike Ride Stamps and dies.  Numbers and balloons are Spellbinder dies. Inside sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Another fun Dreaming Tree SVG.  Several hours cutting on Cricut and making but love how it turned out.  I have the Tiny Tots Birthday Pop Up Cards SVG Bundle and will be creating more similar cards soon. 

Another nephew getting married - I created this card in Design Space, dry embossed background.

Their casserole dish.

Sister and brother-in law's anniversary card.  Uploaded image into Design Space and created this print then cut card.  Doesn't show in photo but there is glitter on sun and water.

Great-great niece's birthday card.  Image uploaded from Creative Fabrica into Design space onto shape, an additional image is popped up.  The HB is a Stampin Up stamp embossed in white.  Inside is an upload from DS, print then cut twice to create the two colors.

We had our living room painted, I didn't like the tissue boxes with their crazy prints on them so I found a cut file and fixed that.  I ended up making covers for all the boxes in the house.

This one is for my daughter, it isn't stuck down on the top yet (there is two sided tape without the backing removed)  I will be  traveling with it and wanted it to be able to fold flat until we arrive. It was custom designed to match the paint chips from her RV renovation.  She decided to take it to work as her co-workers kept stealing her tissue box, she is hopeful with the cover on it they will stop ;-).

I designed this card for my hubby for our 40th anniversary, I found it on line and altered it in Cricut Design Space.  Most of it is print then cut, the '40' is die cut.

With inspiration of Brenda Quintan of Qbee's Quest I made these no glue treat boxes.  They hold 2 snack size M&M bags.

2024 - July - August

When I make cards I often make two at a time, very similar using same products, this is the case with this card.  I used Stampin Up Detailed Dogwoods, Avant Garden and stucco look embossing folder.  Inside sentiment is a Penny Black stamp.  The background is a stamp pad wipe technique.

I created this card for my nephew's finance for her bridal shower.  Her theme was "She Found Her Main Squeeze".  I used Stampin Up Sweet Citrus Stamp set on front, inside sentiment was created in Cricut Design Space.  Lemon print paper was bought at my favorite local paper crafting store, Scrappy Chic, in Farmington.  I fussy cut out the lemons on the inside out of the paper.

I created this card for another nephew's finance's bridal shower.  The card is file from a Dreaming Tree.  I embossed sections, added ribbon and embellishments.  Words were done in Cricut Design Space written with a pen in the Cricut.  

I also made these boxes filled with Hersey's Hug and Kisses.  The Bride To Be one has money also rolled up in it.  Inspiration from QBee's Creations.

Card was created with inspiration from Pink Buckaroo using Stampin Up Bistro Burger Stamp and dies.  I found the burger paper at Scrappy Chic.  The inside stamp is from Penny Black.  The strip on the bottom is a pocket for money.

Created this card for our great-great niece using Dreaming Tree file and a die I have had for years.

Designed this card for our nephew using Stampin Up Clubhouse stamp and Cricut Design Space.  I uploaded the photo of the golf course to use as background.  Raised up the golfer and HB.

Created this card and box of hugs candies for my long time friend with inspiration from QBee Creations and Stampin Up Tune In stamps and dies.

Created this card for our great-great nephew for his 3rd birthday using Day At The Farm paper and stamps, Cricut Design Space for words and a die I've had for many years.

This flip flop card was designed with inspiration from a Dreaming Tree tag file in Cricut Design Space.  I made a smaller insert of white inside and wrote the sentiments with a pen in the Cricut using the draw feature.  It didn't turn out just as I had envisioned but I like it.

This card was made with inspiration from Lisa's Stamp Studio for a great niece. I scanned the paper and did a print then cut of the dancer enlarging her for the focal point.

I created this birthday card for my SIL who is turning 65.  Inspiration was from weekly card challenge with Back Porch Stampers.  While the cut out shape is not from a punch like the challenge it is die set I've had for many years along with the numbers.  The "happy birthday" is also a very old stamp while the inside is from Penny Lane.
