Christmas Card and Tags 2021

 I feel like I've dropped off the face of the earth for a while.  We have had several health scares in the family and I've been away from blogging just as I was starting up again.  I have been making cards since, but unable to post until now.

My husband and I got into designing stencils and printing them on the 3D printer!  This was our attempt at layering, with the leaves and the berries.  I think it turned out nice!  And, I added the smiles for fun!
The candy stripes is ALSO a home made stencil!  

Distress Oxides - mowed lawn, candied apple

I love making Christmas scenes!

This tree is from a random stamp set I got years ago, but it's awesome!

I LOVE making Tags! I don't buy them anymore!  I have a TON of Christmas themed paper so I try to use it as much as possible

This is a spinner card!  I just absolutely LOVE this nutcracker set, and since the guy is symmetrical, he spins well!

I also had to make a bunch of last minute cards that I wanted to "mass produce".
