More Luck for St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Another cold and cloudy day here in Ohio.  I am sharing another card for St. Patrick's day that I made using Power Poppy digitals stamps from the Wish You Luck set. I printed both the image and sentiment on white cardstock and colored with Copics.  I added some green satin ribbon and pink sequins to the card before attaching to a Green card base.

Hello! While going through my stash. I found this Power Poppy digital image that I had printed and set aside some time ago...probably last year in March. I pulled out some Copics and colored the bouquet of Shamrocks and then attached to a base of Gina K green cardstock. Printed the sentiment from the same Power Poppy digital set, trimmed it with a die, and added to the card with a die cut mat of the same green cardstock. For fun I added 5 Pink gemstones from my stash.  I love how this turned into a fun card.

Cards That I Made

Hello! Hope everyone is healthy and coping with all that is going on in this troubled world.  I have been spending a lot of time in the studio but not posting much.  I have several cards to share.  I will begin with a card that was inspired by St. Patrick's Day, a truck die, and shamrocks.  It began with a leftover from making a background with acrylic paints that reminded me of a sunny day.  I die cut the truck with Cheapo Dies in green and silver card stocks and filled the bed with shamrocks cut with the cameo and from an assortment of metallic confetti. I assembled that on the background. I added the word Lucky cut with Cameo(Left from another project). I stamped the sentiment from Repeat Impressions with black ink.  I tore the edges of the image and attached to a green card base.
Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday: Challenge # 626 Just for Fun.  Made this card just for fun.
Die Cut Divas: Challenge is anything goes with a die cut.

Another card that I made but not posted is shown above.  I used this month's free digital image from Beccy's Place to create the design with a digital check paper. I printed the color image of the pie but changed colors a bit before printing.  I stamped the sentiment from stash in black on white cs and matted it on black cs. Used a white layer and red card base to finish.

St. Patrick's Day Lantern

Hello! or should I say Top of the Morning to Ya?   I've been having fun creating St. Patrick's cards so I thought I'd make a Lantern for St. Pat's Day as well.  I started with a sheet of 12" x 12" green cardstock and cut the design with my Cameo using Silhouette file #253765 by Suzanne Cannon.  I erased the cuts for the fold lines before cutting because I like to use my Scor-Pal to mark the fold lines.  I think this gives a smoother look to all the folds.  I assembled the lantern and  used vellum to cover the openings.  Placed a battery tea light inside. 

Challenges:

Wishes for a Wonderful Day

Hello!  Doesn't St. Patrick's Day remind you of rainbows and shamrocks?  I guess I was thinking of that when I made this card using a Shamrock cut with my Cameo from GKD Green CS.  I sponged the backdrop with a stencil from My Favorite Things called Radiating Rays using 7 colors of Distress Inks on a white CS panel for a rainbow effect.  I inked the edges with a Pilot Gold Metallic Marker.  I placed the shamrock on a circle of Gold Glitter paper before attaching to the background and then a White card base. Guess the gold represents a Pot of Gold found at the end of the rainbow. I stamped and heat embossed  a GKD  Sentiment, one of my favorites, from Old Country Roses set, on the shamrock.  St. Patrick's Day is always a Wonderful Day, hence the sentiment. 

Challenges:

Monthly Mix Challenge: Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Create a project that has something to do with rainbows, whether it’s the colors or just the sentiment. 
The Paper Girls Challenge: #195 Glitter-used circle of gold glitter paper under the shamrock.

Lucky Me

Welcome to my studio! I recently received Power Poppy Shamrock-n-Roll digital images and sentiments. These stamps are perfect for St. Patrick's Day cards. I created 2 cards using the same stamps on both cards.  For the above card I printed the no line image on White CS with the sentiment that I colored green before printing.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and added some Flower Soft Raspberry Fizz to the clover and tied on a bit of Raffia to give texture and dimension.  Adhered the trimmed image to a Pattern Paper background and then to GKD Grass Green card base. 

For the second card I printed the image on white cardstock and colored with different Copic Markers.  I trimmed the image with a Spellbinders die and inked the edges with a Pink Copic.  I used Crushed Velvet Flock to add texture to the bloom and tie. Have not used this product or the Flower soft in ages but it does add a nice touch of texture. The flocking does not show up in the photo but looks good in real life. I printed the Power Poppy sentiment on a panel of pattern paper and assembled the card with a White Cardstock base.
