 Hello AI Fans!

One of my favorite things to do is to sit down and browse through the cards I've made. Whether it be from 10 years ago, or this year.  So this is one of my favorite posts of the year. Not only do I get to browse through all the cards I've made, but I get to see the Design Teams top 10 as well!  I hope I've managed to inspire you a little through the year. As always, thank you so much for your kindness and your support. You are what makes it all worthwhile!  So in no particular order, here's my top ten creations I've shared with you in 2023.

One more Christmas card and a shaker tag featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I've been busy this weekend trying to wrap up shopping and getting the last of my Christmas cards addressed and in the mail!  I also made my homemade caramels which is done only once per year at Christmas. YUMM!!! Some have toasted pecans and some have chocolate and a little bit of flaked salt. Good thing I only do that once per year! LOL!!  So today I have one last Christmas card to show you, as well as a shaker tag I made. I love making tags and that will be what I concentrate on from now until Christmas. 

For this tag, I used the fabulous 5802 Joyful Snowman Set. Bonnie draws the cutest snowmen ever!!! I just created a frame with some dies and then used the 3M double sided tape to create enough depth for a shaker.  A piece of acetate between them and voila! I just stamped a to and from on the back. The hanger is from a die in 5718 Mini Journal Template Set. 



My card was made using 5564 Mousey Christmas Set. These mice are so dang cute!!! He looks like he's in heaven gulping down that hot cocoa!! The sentiment is from the same set. 





So that's it for me today! I will see you back here next Monday with my top 10 for the year 2023! Until then - have a wonderful week and hope you have some time to get crafty!!

Four more Christmas cards featuring Art Impressions!

 Hello AI Fans!! 


Have you gotten 5803 Snowman Puppet Set yet? Oh my gosh, this set is so much fun! I had two of my granddaughters over this weekend and had an ornament making day with them and this fun set! I simply die cut a bunch of different pieces from various Christmas paper from my stash, and let them go to town. I couldn't believe the creativity they had! The were using scarves as pony tails, they were adding bows to everything! On one, they even used a scarf on the head that made it look like a durag tied on the side! It was awesome! And hopefully, they have some wonderful memories with Grandma!  I've got a few cards I put together using the same set. Oh my gosh, these are so fun to make and they are so dang cute!!! They are PERFECT for using up all those scraps of paper you have hanging around!  I made two round cards and two square ones. The word JOY is from 5802 Joyful Snowman Set and the snowflakes are from 5353 Large Snowflake Die Set stamped into a circle cut with #5726 Nested Circle Die Set. 



I used 5812 Christmas S2 Paper Pack for this one.

The sentiment comes from 5802 Joyful Snowman Set



I used the sentiment ribbon from 5543 Journal Template Die Set for the sentiment, and just cut off the sides of it. I didn't want to pop it up and the curve fit the round card really well. 






So that's it for me today! I hope you've enjoyed your visit and until next time - I hope you have some time to be crafty!!
