2024 - January - February

  New Year with goal of using each of my stamp sets this year.  I start with a Four-Panel Fun Fold card I learned how to make from Dawn Griffiths of Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.  I used a scrapbook stack of papers I had in my stash to create this card for my great nephew who is turning 5 and likes Paw Patrol.  Various sentiments in the card are from Stampin Up Pretty Perennials, Charming Sentiments and Best Delivery.  I also used number die set. 

These cards were created using SU Waterfront stamp set and various others. 

These cards were created using SU Sending Sunshine stamp set and various embossing folders. 

These cards were created using SU Welcoming Woods stamp set and oval dies.  Happy Birthday sentiment is embossed. 

These cards were created using SU Pretty Perennials stamp.

These cards were created using SU On To Adventure stamp set, Spellbinders Giving Occasions stamp and dies set and oval dies. The Happy Anniversary will be for my Daughter and SIL who will be celebrating 16 years in April.  The Valentines one is for my husband, we will be celebrating 40 years. 

I found a Paper Pumpkin Kit when I was looking for something else and decided to put the cards together.  I put on own twist on them of course.

I sent one of the above sympathy card along with these floating ornaments for a blogger/Stampin Up Demonstrator - Angie Juda-Chic N Scratch who I've been following since 2008.  She lost her mom and her bird very close together.

Both a co-work and a neighbor are expecting babies very soon so I created these two cards using SU All About Baby.  While I was die cutting I cut extra's of most cuts to put into my stash for next round of cards needed (since I had a strip of paper left of each design). The banners are dies and I used a dots embossing folder for the white background.

Grandson will be 11 in early February, he loves gaming.  I previously posted the pop up gift card holder box I created from a cut file I purchased from Lori Whitlock designs.  I then used the image to create his card.  Lots of fussy cutting and round punching.  The sentiment I did with the Cricut Pen.

A long time friend's daughter in law who is a teacher in Kentucky was asking for cards from all the states in the US.  I created this card with the 50 State Cartridge, a few downloaded images and designed, print then cut in Cricut Design Space.  The inside stats info I typed out in Word, printed on cardstock and cut to fit.

Two of my friends dogs passed away one day apart.  I found this cut design on Dreaming Tree, I made some modification of my own, added a couple of Stampin Up stamps and embellishments.  One is larger than the other.  I resized the smaller one to be more of standard 5.5" x 4.25" card.  Papers are from my stash, Lawn Fawn and Stamping Up.
