2023 January, February & March

SIL's parents are in their mid 90's, amazing couple who still live on their own and love to party.  Due to cold weather didn't get to see them over the holidays so I made this card from an SVG from Lori Whitlock.  Added a few of my own touches to it.  They loved it.

Blogger, Stampin Up Demonstrator, Dawn Griffith of Davwn's Stamping Thoughts birthday is in early January so I created this card with unbranded dies, Dollar Tree stickers and Stampin Up Sentiments inside.  I failed to get a photo before I sent to her but she showed in her weekly Glitter Pit Live - Happy Mail so I got to get a screen shot. Purple is her her favorite color.

I'm trying to make two cards for each one I make so here is my spin on the card above while I was in butterfly - purple mode. Same unbranded dies and stamps on front, Stampin Up sentiment inside with Dollar Tree sticker butterfly.

Great Niece's bridal shower gift.  Nesting casserole dishes, glass etched using designs created in Cricut Design Space. 

Great niece is soon to graduate from nursing school.  Stamp is from KLM Designs. Sentiment is Stampin Up.

During my down time I created these two sympathy cards to have on hand.  Found idea on Pinterest and added my own twist to them. Sentiment on front is print then cut designed in Design Space, then added debossed and embossed flower and rhinestones. Sentiment inside "sorry for your loss" is from Stampin Up.

Great nephew is turning 4, found a great Monster Treads truck at Mendards and created this card to go with it.  SVG modified in Cricut Design Space, welded the "4" to the truck and cut out 4 times and layers on dimensionals.

Grandson is turning '10' and loves Minecraft.  I did a birthday in a box but failed to get a photo before packaging it up to send out (see December for sister's - same concept, only decorated with Minecraft Theme).  Found image on internet, did print then cut, main image cut out extra time and popped up on dimensionals.  Number 10 is from dies, inside sentiment is print then cut in Design Space.

Great niece birthday card using Stampin Up Stamps and Hero Arts Stamps and miscellaneous paper from my stash.  Keeping with the make two cards theory I did two.
I follow Karen Titus of the Back Porch Stampers and she provided ideas for one sheet wonders of 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I had so much fun creating these cards and they were so quick.  The stamp set used is from Maymay Made It and DSP is Stampin Up.  Various alcohol markers and clear embossing.
Sister is expecting her second Grandson, the baby shower theme is dinosaurs so I created this card using a gift card layout from Angie at Chic N Scratch.  I scanned the in the paper (purchased at a local papercraft store: Scrappy Chic) and uploaded into Cricut Design Space and enlarged the one of the green dinosaurs, fussy cut him out and popped up on dimensionals. I used Stampin Up stamp set All For Baby for sentiments, a 2.5" circle punch and the scallop circle was cut on Cricut.  Two of the embellishment are from SU the red one is from a local craft store. I made two as I'm also expecting another great-great nephew in April.
Had fun with fun folds inspired by Back Porch Stampers to make these Valentines cards.  Dies for gnome I got from Deb's Deals for Scrapbooking, various stash papers, Happy Valentine's Day stamp is Close to My Heart, inside sentiment is Stampin Up.
Another fun fold inspired by Stamping on the Back Porch, same gnome stamp, Happy Valentines Day stamp and same Stampin Up sentiment inside.
Hubby's Valentine's Day card using Lori Whitlock design cut out on Cricut, box is Qbee's creations slide lock box.
I created this card for one of my great nephews who is a avid hockey player.  Paper is from local craft store (Scrappy Chic), card layout design is Karen Titus's from Stamping on The Back Porch.  Cover sentiment is a random stamp I've had for years, inside sentiment on left if download from Cricut Design Space and right side if from My Creative Time (Emma).  Embellishments are from Stampin Up.

February's Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin provide inspiration for these cards.
I made this one into a get well card.
