St. Patrick's Day Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish but I do love green. My card today is a little bit taller than usual. It is 4x5 15/16 because we (My husband and I and my brother in law) had extra envelopes from our Christmas photo cards this year and I couldn't throw them away. The card base is the green cardstock and the patterned paper is old be We R Memory Keepers. Then sentiment stamp is old and I stamped it with mowed lawn distress ink. The image is by Sassy Studio Designs. I printed her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her with Copic markers. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink. The shamrock behind the image was in my basement and so I decided to add it for good luck.

Thanks for looking.

St Patrick's Day card

I have a St Patrick's day card to share today. The image is by The Stamping Boutique I colored in the image using my Copic markers and then used a few Spellbinders dies to matte it. The background of the card is a border stamp that I stamp multiple times to give the look of a background stamp. I then put Liquid Pearls (Platinum) in the circle part of the design. 

Thanks for looking.

For my card today I went with the St Patrick's Day scheme. I made my background with a stencil by The Crafter's Workshop and Ranger's distress inks with an ink blender. The sentiment is a rub on on vellum and then  attached to the card front with eyelets. The Shamrock stamp by Stamp N Plus was stamped using Mowed Lawn Distress ink onto white cardstock and punched out with a Creative Memories circle punch. The matte behind it was green but not like the shamrock so I inked a strip of green cardstock with the distress ink. I used the ink pad to paper technique. It matches beautifully.

Thanks so much for taking a look.

St. Patrick’s day Bagpiper

I did it Creations  Sunday challenge is a sketch. Here is my card based on the sketch. Our images were given to us by The Stamping Boutique. My white paper with shamrocks on it had no manufacturers name on the back of it but the other patterned paper is by Accord Publishing. It's from one of those scrapbookers calendars where you use the paper and elements in the paper for youSBing LO's after the day has passed. I had one in 2004 and 2010. The right hand paper and paper mat is from the 2004 edition. The ribbon in the middle is by Karen Foster, the sentiment is by Stampin' Up, ink by Memento, black cardstock by Paper Reflections, white card base by Recollections and I colored in the image using my Copic markers. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my St Patty's Day card. Now it's your turn to go look at the sketch and submit your card using any theme.

Green Good Luck St Patrick’s Day chalk card

 There's a new chalk challenge at Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe:

Include green and chalk on your card or project. 

Chalk doesn't necessarily have to be green, just green somewhere on your card and some chalk somewhere on your card. Please tell me where the chalk is in your blog post. {thanks}

For my card I started off by trying to paint the chipboard frame with Elmer's glue and powdered chalk Cool Green. It peeled off very easily and I didn't like that. So I flipped the chipboard over revealing the sticky side and decided to pat green chalk on the sticky part. It worked like a charm.  

The stamped image in the center of the frame is Shamrock Spray and can be found HERE. In the shamrocks I glued on an individual bead for the centers. The cool green powdered chalk can be found HERE. The rest of the supplies for this card include patterned paper by Best Creations (stripes) and The Paper Studio (shamrocks) The brads are by American Crafts, frame by Prima, circle punch by EK Success, scallop die cut cut out using my Cricut and finally cardstock by DCWV (green) and Recollections (black and white). The beads in the centers of the shamrocks are a recycled item with no name on the tube and the sentiment rub on is from a crop where they didn't give us the packaging, just the rub-ons in an unmarked baggie.

Thanks for stopping by.

St. Patrick’s Day Cards

This is a long post.

I’m going to be brief because there are a lot of cards.

I used my Cricut to draw and cut the die-cuts in the first seven cards and then thing for around his neck.

The patterned paper for the beer mug, keg, and the card with a corner pp and border is by Accord Publishing. It was a calendar from 2010. There’s a picture halfway down the post.

This first one, I made the smiley face to put the headband on. HAPPY is by Lawn Fawn. 

Pp for the pot is by The Paper Studio. Sentiment by Lawn Fawn.

Dry embossing folder by Darice.

Green circle is an up cycled thing from subway. I tried to stamp a shamrock on the ribbon but it didn’t work.

Cheers die-cut is by Lawn Fawn.

This is the Accord Publishing paper I used.

I made this card and thing for around his neck for my cousin’s son so that his “Pa” won’t pinch him for not wearing green. I have a a 

The road border stamp is by The Paper Studio

The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions

The die-cut Cricut draw and cut

The sticker sentiment is by Sticko.

This lovely lady finally made it onto a card. I found her online years ago when I was doing ATC’s. 

The green shamrock pattern is fabric. It’s fraying and I kind of liked it that way.

The striped patterned paper is by Best Creations. 

This next card is simple but still nice.

I die-cut the border with my Cricut.

The pp is from the Accord Publishing calendar.

The sentiment stamp is by Stampin Up.

This card front is an up cycled piece of another card that came in the mail many years ago to my MIL. I put the company’s information in between the two pictures 

.

Cut off the front of the one card and place it on patterned paper by Accord Publishing to make another.

Good Luck card

Today's card is brought to you by Sassy Studio Designs. They are sponsoring a challenge at Open-Minded Crafts that is Luck/St. Patrick's Day. I'm not really keen on making and sending St. Patrick's Day cards so I went with the luck possibility.

I'm using Sandra's Graduation Sassy for this graduation card wishing someone good luck. I printed her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers. I then cut her down and matted her onto blue cardstock and the white. I left a small piece of white at the bottom for my sentiment which is by TPC Company stamped with Hero Arts black ink. I die cut the star from a Quickutz die and covered it with white glitter. The flourish is a Cricut cut out of Die Cuts With a View cardstock. 

The background on the blue cardstock is a Deep Red Stamp called Quantum Background. I stamped it twice, on top and bottom with black Hero Arts ink.

Thanks for looking.

Happy St Patrick's Day Cards

I have a few cards to show you but not much to say about them. I am busy creating stuff and need to get off the computer and get back to it. Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday Sweetie Pi Card

My cousin's daughter's birthday is today. 

The die-cut is from my Cricut. I had to do some slicing in order to replace the word PIE with the symbol Pi.

The sentiment is by Stampibilities

The patterned paper is by Cosmo Cricket

The envelope is from Neenah

These are the envelopes. I think you can tape them and it will stand up.

Heads up-I do have a bunch of St. Patrick’s day cards for Wednesday.

Thanks for looking

Manly Monday Rainbow Dog sympathy card

I made the rainbow colors out of scraps of cardstock. The dog stamp is by Newton's Nook. Even though it's a pet sympathy card I figured this rainbow card was good to post the day after St Patrick’s Day. 

I made the second card from the leftover pieces of cardstock and paired it with a Creative Memories vellum sentiment.

Thanks for looking.
