Let It Grow card with cascade card base and first attempt at using ebrush.

For this cute card I used my Cricut Explore Air and cutting files from two different sites. For the cute duck, water, rocks, and clouds a used the Let it Grow file for Kadoodlebug designs found here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=1132 . I used plain cardstock I had on hand to make it. I attached text to one cloud and used crayon markers in my Explore pen holder to write the words.I shadded it with my ebrush from Craftwell. Here is a link for the Amazon price: https://www.amazon.com/eBrush-Craftwell-Ebrush-Kit/dp/B00N9B4W9M . However, if you decide to get one, be sure to shop around. I didn't pay near this when I got mine. It was a while ago though. I used Spetrum Noir markers for the ink. They work great in the ebrush.

The cascade card base is from Dreaming Tree: http://www.3dsvg.com/?affiliates_svg=27 . I only used the cascade part of the Dove Cascade Card in the Cascade Card Bundle. I simply hid the parts of the card that I didn't want to use.

Mother's Day and wedding gifts

This is a lovely Mother's day gift. It could be used for many things by just changing the colors. I used chalk inks to ink the petals of all the flowers. The MOM and some embellishments on the tray are metallic gold paper. The petals are held by pins in half 3 inch styrofoam balls. Each flower pot is a box and the lid is the top with the flower on it. The file is from Dreaming Tree I Love You Mom bundle.  http://www.3dsvg.com/?affiliates_svg=27. (This is an affiliate link.

This is the Daisy Cascade card from Dreaming Tree. The blue is metallic blue. The ribbon is some wedding sentiment ribbon I had in my stash. The round embellishments are brads I had in my stash. We used it as a wedding card but if the colors were changed it could be anything. Her is the link:

This is a shadow box. The shadow box was bought at WalMart. The letters were cut out of vinyl using my Cricut Explore Air. The flower heart is rolled flowers grouped into a heart. It was a wedding gift. The bride and groom had a beach/Hawaii themed wedding reception.

Homemade Christmas ornaments with vinyl

Been waiting for my son, Aaron Dance, to receive his package. He is in the Navy and LOVE  Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare before Christmas." Those things inspired my homemade Christmas ornaments for him.

Christmas Bendi Cards from Dreaming Tree

 Odd to Joy bendi card

 Believe bendi card

Silent Night bendi card

envelopes for all the cards

I really love these cards. I tried adding more colors to them this time and not sure if I like the Silent Night one or night. 

All papers are from DCWV the Christmas stack, DCWV Holiday Collection The Christmas Stack, DCWV The Glimmer Stack, real look winter tree, pine tree, snow flake paper and solid cardstock from my stash. I also added some silver holographic paper to the sentiment in the Believe card. I used Crystal Stickles to put sparkle in some places including the snow. I love the Crystal Stickles because they pick up the colors around them.  Pictures do not show it well. I used Christmas Red Stickles on the Black hat's band on the snowman. I inked the edges of somethings and also used ink to color in the deer and.children on Silent Night. I used round brads on the sentiments for Silent Night and Believe cards. I used small round and small star brads on the tree in Ode to Joy card. I used pop dots for dimension on the adults and star on Ode to Joy, Santa's sleigh on Believe and on all sentiments on all cards. The snow on the corns of the windows on Ode to Joy is Liquid Pearls.

Santa's Village Advent Calendar by SVG

Santa's Village Advent Calendar by SVGcuts http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=377 looks scary to put together but it really isn't. Mary, of SVGcuts, provides videos of how to put her products together. Here is the link to the instructional video for this project.

You can choose your own paper. I used paper from DCWV the Christmas stack, DCWV Holiday Collection The Christmas Stack, DCWV The Glimmer Stack and solid cardstock from stash. I used Xyron 150 permanent adhesive on both of the sides of the numbers. First I put it on the top side (side showing) and dipped each one into Doodlebug Design Inc. Sugar Coating blue Jean glitter. Once that was done I put them through the Xyron again to put adhesive on the back of each number and put them in the appropriate spot on the calendar. You can add any embellishments you want. 

Each numbered door has a compartment in which you can put treats and toys in for loved ones to get each day. The cut file comes with a shopping guide of sizes that you can print and take shopping with you to know what to buy. 

I have considered cutting other files of say elves, nativity, Star Wars, etc to add to this calendar. I hope to make some to sell. Let me know in the comments if you are interested in buying any. 

I can not wait to fill this calendar and start using it (note: I can wait for the cold, snow, and ice.)
