Hello and welcome. Today’s cards are for our 2 oldest great-grandsons, 13 & 17. The card is a cut file from the Silhouette. Patterned papers are from Pastel Patterns Mat Stack by DCWV, black gems are from my stash. These were so easy I felt like I was cheating.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I have been coloring lately. This bloom set is new to me. I am entering this is the Triple B March Challenge. https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2023/03/march-challenge.html
Two other challenges have come to my attention which this card fits. Shopping our Stash: https://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2023/02/sos491-flowers-flowers-everywhere.html
Four Seasons: Spring Season March: https://thefourseasonschallenge.blogspot.com/2023/03/spring-season-march-2023-challenge.html
I used Honey Bee Spring Joy Bouquet stamp and die set. I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. The background paper is Stampin Up Blushing Bride and Basic White. The patterned paper is also SU Perfectly Artistic which was released in 2016. I looked it up to the get the name and the date was in the blog I found.
I used a tutorial by Lynn Dunn. I love her tutorials as they are so easy to follow and I am able to use whatever product I have on hand. https://stamptasticdesigns.com/2023/03/08/diagonal-design-cut-and-shuffle-technique/
Hello and welcome.
There’s a little story behind today’s post. Our next-door neighbors babysit their now 3 years old grandson and they happily share him with us. At first, he wasn’t too sure about me, but I fixed that by giving him treats in a small treat box I’d make. This little guy is obsessed with garbage trucks, so I decided to really personalize this for him. Images are computer clip art. Sentiment, “Easily distracted by garbage trucks” was found online. Panel with images was cut with an antique paper cutter. A box of Cracker Jacks fits just right in the box.

Saw a similar layout and wanted to use my freshly cut snowflakes to give a try. All snowflakes were Silhouette cut in white cs. Base on was left as is, Next up was smeared with gold stencil butter and tiny one is pink stencil butter. One dry they were stacked together with glue and sparkle rounds added. The bg piece was masked with stencil and the gold stencil butter applied. Once dry I partially dry embossed with snowflake ef. Used the pink stencil butter, watered it down to color the sentiment dies with a paint brush. Was not my intention to have ombre but that is how the water mixed and dried. Probably could not do it again if I tried. Mounted the piece on white cs base.
Thanks for sharing your time with me, now I am sharing this with:

Hello and welcome. I know I am way behind with Christmas cards but I’m way behind with a lot of things.
This design was pretty easy. Stockings are from the Silhouette, corner strips were cut on my paper trimmer, sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with SU’s word window and modern label punches. Background ef used is Snowflakes by The Paper Studio, stockings ef used is Dots by SU.
The layout on the right is what I did first then wondered how it would work with the layout on the right. I couldn’t decide which one I liked best so I made half & half (5 each). I’m entering this in CYHTP challenge. I’m also entering in the Double D challenge https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/12/christmas-stockings-challenge.html

Hello and welcome.
Today’s gift/money holder cards are for our 3 youngest great-grandkids, Matthew 5, Stella 3, Bernie 1 1/2. The 17- & 13-year old’s get the same as the adults. I found the pattern on Pinterest. Gingerbread man pp was in my stash, snowman pp is from online. The Gingerbread man and snowman images are computer clip art and fussy cut. I glued the top half of the figures and added Velcro to the bottom to hold it closed. Since the 2 girls are not sisters I made their cards the same. The $1 bill is just to show how paper money fits as well as a gift card.
Thanks for stopping by your visits are important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe. Oh yeah, and warm.
Hello and welcome.
It’s been a while since my last post but I have been busy, making 13 money holder cards. Here are just a few of them. I had a few do overs because my brains measuring app was locked up. The plaid and gift pp’s were found online, gum drop paper was in my stash. The other 10 have a variety of computer and purchased pp. Circle of lights is computer clip art and I added the names, then punched with a 1 3/4 punch. I edged the circles with a Copic marker matching the cs. Here is closer look at the light circle.
Thanks for stopping by your visits are very important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Hope you’ve been having a good week.
Today’s card is for our favorite busser who I’ve come to think of as a bonus grandson. The turkey is from the Silhouette, pp from online, ef used is Cuttlebug. The Silhouette turkey didn’t have googly eyes, but I just couldn’t help myself. Sentiment is one I’ve had on file for several years.

Hello and welcome. Hope you’re having a good day.
When I found this quote “What did the teacher ghost say to her class? … “Watch the board and I’ll go through it again.” I immediately thought of my daughter who teaches fifth grade. Since my Silhouette wasn’t working when I made this card, I used a clip art ghost and fussy cut it. I think my daughter will get a kick out it. I’m entering this in Make the Cards Challenge
