Wearing O' The Green

I was inspired by the Shamrocks.

I'm really not a fan of the slimline card, 

yet every once in a while I do give it a shot!

Plus my letters needed a bit more room.

Alphabet dies.

Lawn Fawn Lucky Charm stamp set, clovers fussy cut out.

Copic Markers.

Watched this VIDEO from Cards And Coffee Time 

and fell in love with the technique she used on her alphabet dies.

I colored each letter in an ombre fashion then added Gold foil paper to the bottoms, then I added Gold glitter to the tops.  Love how they came out.

I used Martha Stewart Glitter, man does that stuff sparkle!

Foam Dots.

Mini Sequins.

A super FUN card to make.....even if it is a slimline lol

Oh and it's that time of year again...soooooo

Shamrock On

Hello!

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Green.

 

I love this card and it was so easy to make!  I sprayed my white card panel with Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Gold.  Then I made my Shamrock by cutting 4 of the pretty 'striped' hearts from the Stampin' Up! die set, Love Notes.  I assembled them and topped with an Adhesive Rhinestone.  I then stamped the Hampton Art sentiment in Garden Green ink.   So easy!!!

 

It's almost flat.  If I flip it inside out I can probably mail using one stamp right from my own mailbox.

 

And it's that time of year so I think I will post that delicious Corned Beef Recipe I have been using for the past several years.  Once you make it this way, you will never boil again!  (thankfully!).

It is scrumptious and has turned me into a Corned Beef & Cabbage lover.....used to HATE it.  I also make a Rustic Cole Slaw to go with this.  YUM!!! 

 

May the Luck Of The Irish be with you!

 

Enjoy~~

 





Happy Shamrock

Good Morning!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at Cheery Lynn, Doilies, Double D, Feeling Green, and Dies R Us, Shaped Cards.

 

Well it is March and I do need a St. Paddy's card.....love when Challenges collide!  :)  I cut out the Shamrocks with my Cameo--how easy this makes my life!  I then layered the Green textured card stock on the White card base, adhering both pieces to create my card.  I topped it with a pretty doily, it almost gives it a Celtic look and feel.  Then using the same Green textured card stock I cut a Fanciful Flourish by Cheery Lynn.  Whipped out my Spellbinders Hearts dies and cut out 8 hearts, 4 in each color and in 2 different sizes, this created another Shamrock / 4-Leaf Clover.  I used a Zot to attach it to the card base.  A Zot is a THICK Glue Dot, very strong, very sticky, and because of it's thickness, gives this more dimension.  I also folded the 'hearts' a bit to add even more depth.  Topped with a lone Adhesive Rhinestone.  The sentiment is from Fairy Tales by Gina K Designs, stamped on a hand cut flag banner.

 

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

 

Enjoy~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





I {heart} Shamrocks

Good Afternoon!

Time for a very quick card!  Saw this on Pinterest (of course!) and knew I just had to make it.

This will be entered into the Challenges at Simon Says Monday, H Is For.....and Simon Says Wednesday, All Things Bright And Beautiful.

 

Super easy, super quick!  I used Spellbinders Heart dies and cut out 6 of them as my designer paper was not doubled sided, I then glued 2 back to back.  Using the negative part of the die cut I sponged 3 hearts directly onto my card stock, this way I had the perfect placement for my cut hearts.  (did you follow that?)  I also used part of a flourish die from Sizzix for the 'stem'.  Stamped the Celebrate sentiment form PTI's Uncorked stamp set and I was done!  YAY!

 

I know it's only February but I am already working through my March crafting list, whahoo!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, appreciate you doing so.

 

Hope you have a crafty day!

Lucky Shamrock

Just an itty bitty post with an itty bitty card.

CAS is not always Clean and Simple And Easy.  I find these to be the most difficult cards to make.  I miss my layers, but I keep on trying.  I used the oval stamp from the new Stamp TV Kit, Shabby Spring from Gina K Designs.  The shamrock is from a $1 stamp, which I fussy cut out and covered in some luscious Martha Stewart glitter.  A gingham green ribbon and some adhesive rhinestones are my accents.  I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder to add some texture.  Ta Da!  lol

This card will be entered into these Challenges:

CASual Fridays to use Ovals.

CASology #88 Lucky.

Thanks so much for stopping by, it's good to be back in the atmosphere and not running the roads!

Enjoy~~

St. Paddy's Day!

Today's card was for yesterday's Holiday and the Challenge over at Simon Says Monday Challenge, Lucky! 

 

Nothing luckier than a shamrock right?   I used a couple of $1 stamps to create this. So perhaps our Hubby's are right, you DON'T have to spend a lot of money to craft!  hahaha  Maybe we should just keep that little fact here....no need to tell them!

 

Stamped the background with a Shamrock stamp, then added some little dots here and there with a Sakura Glitter Pen.  Fiskars Border Punch and some Shamrock ribbon from my stash.  I cut a 2 layer Shamrock out with my Cameo, topped with glitter and an adhesive rhinestone.

 

Hope your St. Paddy's Day was a lucky one for you!

 

On Sunday I cooked a corned beef, not my favorite meal, but I bake it now rather than boil it (ew!) much tastier!   I used this recipe:  For The Love Of Cooking! It is delicious this way, try it!
