2024 - November - December

 This card is very similar to one I made last month.  I rotated it to be landscape and made into a 5" x 7" so I could add the die cut Adirondack chairs.  I cut three of each chair and layered them for dimension.  Most of the card is print then cut created in Design Space, 

This card is for a great niece who like country music concerts and I noted her boots she wears to inspire this card.  Several Stampin Up stamp sets and dies were used (Barn Door, Bike Ride and Avant Garden).

I struggle with male cards but like how this came out.  I created this card with Stampin Up Designer Paper, Campology Stamp set and Hero Art stamps. 

I created this card for a great-great niece with Stamin Up Awesome Otters stamp set.  I stamped all otters on card stock, scanned in and loaded into Design Space so I could have my Cricut cut them out rather than fussy cutting.  I then colored them with alcohol markers.  The sentiments are from the same stamp set plus a Penny Lane one.

I designed this card for our granddaughter, she loves cats.  I uploaded image I found to cut out on Cricut and did a print then cut for inside.  I embossed the background piece with an embossing folder.  The Happy Birthday is a Stamping Up stamp that I heat embossed in white.

I made these Merci Chocolate treat boxes with the one holding a gift card with inspiration from Deseree Krumm.  I also used stamps and dies from My Creative Time With Emma and a couple unbranded stamps.

I created this gift box for our Postal Carrier to hold Rorrero Rochers with inspiration from 

Fiona Bradley a Stampin Up Demonstrator from Australia.

Great Niece Birthday card inspired by Karen Titus's Fun Back Fold Card. I used Stampin Up Share a Milk Shake bundle.  I clear embossed the glass and added Pearlized Enamel Effects. Unfortunately I smeared the dots and they have the handmade look. 

For many of my great nieces and nephews this year I made these M&M match book treat holders and put money folder behind the M&Ms.  I created the match book template in Cricut Design Space so I could do five at a time.

For many of the other friends, family members, nieces, nephews and greats, I made floating ornaments.  I struggle with photographing these so excuse the light spots.  I upload photos into Cricut Design Space and design then print then cut on transparences that I roll up to place in clear disk ornaments.  I redesigned the boxes as the original box was for a smaller disk. 

This year I'm send out a few store bought Christmas cards but did get around to creating a few hand made ones using Stampin Up designer paper on some and many stamp sets from them and others.
