Christmas Card - Week #9 - 3D Nativity Card

This is the 9th week for making cards on the FaceBook Group, Only Christmas Cards/Projects.   This is their challenge for the year of 2016. My card for this week.


This is the inside of the card.

This is the front of the card.  

This card is made entirely from a file from the Silhouette Design Store using my Cameo.  If I make it again, I will use a different paper for the inside.  I used a gold shimmer paper which had a white center and it kept coming apart on the center fold.  I think maybe a solid core paper will be more durable.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I would love to see your beautiful Christmas cards.  I know it's a little early but I'm hoping not to be in a rush come time to mail them.

God Bless You!!! Peggy

Crafting-With-Friends - 2W, 3E - (W1 of 2) Anything Goes

FIRST TIME TO USE MY CRICUT EXPLORE - EXPLORE, SILHOUETTE

Hi Everyone - I have a confession to make!!  I have been in the deep dark dregs of "no crafty mojo!!" I ordered my Cricut Explore for HSN back in Sept/Oct 2014 as a Christmas present for me from my hubby!!  When it arrived, Mom asked me if I was going to open it before Christmas.  To her shock, I said NO!  So I received the Explore on Christmas day and didn't even tear the paper off the package.  It actually sat in a corner for two months before my son finally removed the paper.  So I took the machine out of the box and put it on it's designated area in my craft "happy space."  It has sat there until now (another two months later) before I decided to make something with it.  Can you believe that I went that long without using my new machine?  Without making some fabulous project?  

To be truthful, it would probably still be sitting there if Mom hadn't stayed after me to make something with the Explore.  She said, "once you use it, you're going to love it!" As my mom knows, I don't like changes and I don't like trying to figure "new techy" things out.  That's my mom - she loves techy stuff!  I'm more like my dad - when he got a new tool, he would give the manual to my mom and tell her to read it just in case there was something in there he would need to know.  Like him I want to take the new "tool" out of the box and just use it!!

So I decided to make a "ready to make" project for a friend of mine at work that has a birthday on Friday.  This was a very simple project to make and for someone who's mojo has gone missing for months, turned out very pretty.  





The moral of this story is - if you're like me and are afraid to take out your new Cricut Explore and use it - it really is easy to use.  I should have been using it months ago!!

Now the 3d Shadow box below was made with my Silhouette - it was another simple project to make - simply cut and paste together.  My friend with the birthday on Friday loves all things "cardinals" and I made her this 3D Shadow box which includes a cardinal.  I think she'll really like it.




Thank you so much for stopping by - we so appreciate your comments and your visits.  We hope you will come back again soon and if you're like me, you'll find inspiration here to play with your Explore!  Until another day, God Bless You!  Donna

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT LINDA!! - Silhouette Cameo

Hi Everyone - well, several more September birthdays are rolling around this week.  I made this card for my Aunt Linda. Thank goodness for my Silhouette.  It's so easy to purchase a card design from the store, pick the paper you want to use, put it on the mat, push cut, and VOILA - a la card!!! 

I really like how this card looked - sunshiny and fresh - just like my Aunt Linda!  She lives in South Carolina and I don't know if you all know someone from South Carolina or not, but they have a very distinctive accent.  I love to hear my Aunt Linda talk!!  She is a true Southern Belle!!!

One tip about this card - while I was making it, I realized that if I wrote a message on the inside of the card that it would show through the circle on the front of the card.  So what I did is I made the blue sky so it could be removed to read the message underneath.  I just wrote "lift" on the top of the sky on the inside of the card.

This is an A2 card and was truly fun to make!  Go purchase it from the Silhouette store, make it for someone, and make their day when they receive it in the mail.

Thanks so much for stopping by - Mom and I appreciate your visits and comments.  Until another day, God Bless You!!!  Donna

THANK YOU - Silhouette Cameo

Hi Everyone - me again - surprise!!! 

Well, I needed a thank you note for a friend of mine.  This friend is also one of my volunteers.  Her husband and she are trying to help my nephew get booked at a music festival that occurs in Chattanooga, TN every year.  It's a fun two week event where each night a different line up of bands/musicians entertain tens of thousands of people with their music.

So again, I went to the Silhouette store and purchased this card.  I think that Carol and her hubby, Mickey, will like it.  My mama taught me to make sure I thank someone when they do something nice for you.  Hopefully, my nephew, Christopher, will get booked and Mamaw and I can go watch him just down the street from our houses!

Thanks for visiting - until another day - God Bless You!!  Donna

Paper A La Mode Challenge - Inspired By A Movie

We begin a new challenge today at The Outlawz Paper A La Mode.  Our theme is 'Inspired By A Movie'.  Our sponsor is Rick St. Dennis.  When I read what the challenge would be I couldn't think of a movie I would use.  So I went to Rick's Zibbett Page to look at his images to see if I could get any inspiration.  When I saw this image it brought back memories of when I was a little girl.  (Yes, I was once young)  My grandmother took me to see "Alice In Wonderland" when it first came out and I loved that.  I loved the fact she took me to the movies periodically.  She would take me to see a movie, then we would stop next door at drugstore that served food for a hot dog.  Such special times.  See you never know what the little things you do for people will mean to them, especially children.  

Back to my card.  

Card Supplies:
Card Base - Bracket Shaped Card - Silhouette file #54161
Image - Alice in Garden of Live Flowers by Rick St. Dennis

The Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit are cut files but I took a Snip-it of them, opened them in Silhouette Studio, traced them, then print and cut them.  I love that feature about the Silhouette Cameo.
Pebbles chalk for the background of the label.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAIL!!! - Silhouette Cameo

Hi Everyone - me again!!!  I know it's a shock - two days in a row!!  Mom has kept the blog going for so long while I've been so busy with work, school, life in general that I thought I would give her a break for two days in a row!!  She makes such beautiful work and puts so much time into all her creations - I thought she needed a break!!

So yesterday, I told you that my mother-in-law's birthday was coming up next week!  So she doesn't like me to give her store bought cards - she keeps all my cards and sets them out for a long time after her birthday has passed.  So I thought I would make her this pop up card from the Silhouette store!  It was very easy to make - simply load the paper, send it to the Silhouette and the machine does all the work.  The hardest part is deciding what color of paper to use.

Here is the front that I printed out with the Silhouette:



and here's the inside of the card:




I think she'll really like it.  Now off to make some more cards for my Aunt Linda, Aunt Nellie, friend Tanner, and brother Brian!!  I'm sure that I can find something in the Silhouette store for each of them!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and we would love to hear your comments!  Stop by again to see what Mom makes for all these people too - I'm sure it'll be beautiful as always!  Until another day, God Bless You!!  Donna

Beccy's Place - Dog Tales

Beccy Muir of Beccy's Place Blog is a talented artist.  She designs digistamps.  She has a variety of stamps in her shop.  I love a lot of her designs, especially the flowers.  I wish I could get them all.  I have a flower card to share with you next Friday but today I want to share with you one of her August releases.  It's called Dog Tales.  I especially loved the little dog I used.

Card Base - Silhouette Online Store file #50360 Paw Print Spray Card by Suzanne Cannon.  
Image - Bassett from Beccy's Dog Tales Image Set. This one is pre-colored.
Bones - Another Silhouette File but I couldn't find the ID #.  The name is Bone.  I cut several sized of these. 
Sentiment is computer generated.  

I didn't take a picture of the inside but it had a bigger bone like the one on the front and it said "Sorry you're sick."  I gave this card to a friend who was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  He is struggling terribly so your prayers for him will be appreciated.  I hate cancer.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope all your news this week will bring joy to your heart.  God Bless You!!!!  Peggy

Eureka Stamps Challenge - Something With Wings

The Eureka Stamp Challenge for today is Something With Wings.  I'll bet you can't guess which item with wings I chose.  Oh, you cheated.  You looked at the picture.  I love butterflies and the fact they represent New Life.  I made this card with no coloring and I loved it.

5X5" card base - it is actually a label I bought from the Silhouette online store.  The item # is 40390.  I opened the label in Silhouette Studio, sized to the size I needed, mirror imaged it and welded the two together.  I think it made a pretty ornate card.

Silhouette Card File - Jamie Cripps

For those of you who have the Silhouette Cameo, have you discovered Jamie Cripps in the online store?  She also has a blog, Bits of Paper, where she reviews her files and tells you how to make them before she puts them in the Silhouette store.  I am subscribed to her blog feed.  Let me tell you, she has created some very nice files lately.  Just look at yesterday's blog where she had all these card files with different flowers cut out on them. Well, you know I love flowers so I've bought just about all of them.  Plus there's another post today.  OK, stop it Jamie.  I'm going to be broke buying your files.

I decided to make one of the cards today and it was so easy.  Here's a picture of it.  

Mine is a little different from Jamie's.  I should have turned my paper for the petals over so they would match the ones cut on the card topper.  Since they didn't match I positioned the top petals so that you see 2 layers..  But I think it turned out ok.  Just another variation of the card.  Check out her blog post to see how to correctly assemble it.

Thank you for visiting with us today. I'm still fighting through these shingles.  I'll be so glad when I can report I have no more pain.  God Bless You!!! Peggy

Mother's Day Card for Donna

I wanted to make Donna a Mother's Day Card to let her know what a good mother I think she is.  Her love for Jacob shows in everything she does.  I looked at the Mother's Day projects in Cricut Design Space.  I found the "Drawn Floral Mother's Day Card" by Anna Rose and modified it to meet my needs.


The original file has Mom on the strip across the front.  The pattern on the card base is a file from the Paper Lace cartridge drawn with a silver metallic pen.  The rose is from Sweetheart cartridge. The Happy Mother's Day sentiment is from the Wild Card cartridge written with the Cristal Rose Cricut Pen.  I actually used the score tool, writing pen & blade for this card.  I love the ability to write my messages on an insert and adhere it to the inside of the card which is what I did with Donna's card.

Here is the card she made for me.  I'm hoping she will fill in the details.  I'm sure it is a Silhouette cut file.  She knows how much I love butterflies and how they symbolize new life, so how appropriate is it that my card would have a butterfly cutout.  I love it.



Hi Everyone  - I made this card for my mom using the Silhouette Cameo and a cut file from the Silhouette store.  The butterfly has become kind of a symbol for our family and our blog since my dad passed away four years ago.  Right after his death, we started to see yellow butterflies everywhere we were and before my dad's death, we hadn't seen the butterflies.  We all felt like it was Daddy saying HI and letting us know that he was okay.  You know how a caterpillar enters the cocoon and rejuvenates itself into a butterfly - we took seeing all the butterflies as my Daddy's earthly body being reborn into his Heavenly body.  Ever since then, we've loved butterflies so I thought I would make Mom's card with a butterfly.  Her favorite color is pink so after cutting out the card with the Silhouette, I cut a piece of pink paper to show through the wings of the butterfly, for the body of the butterfly, and the words. Mom loved her card.  

I have the best Mom in the world - she's not only my Mom, but we are BFFs!  Yesterday, I went to Mom's house for breakfast and then we went to get a pedicure.  Here is a picture of our finished toes.  

Mine are blue and Mom's are red.  We like to get some flowers put on our toes!!  We always have a blast together - love you Mom!! 

Thank you for visiting with us today and please come back again.  We love you.  God Bless You!!!!  Peggy and Donna
