Shamrock Runner

Happy St Patrick's Day stampers!

I've been kind of slacking this week in the world of blogging, but I've still be creating!  I made this cute card for my friend Cynthia, who will be running in the Shamrock half marathon at Virginia Beach this weekend.  I thought it would be fun to send her this card for a little good luck!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Birthday Bouquet DSP

Ink ~ Mossy Meadow, Watermelon Wonder

Stamp Set ~ Stampabilities Marathon Stamp Set

Other Supplies ~ Sweet Heart Punch, Scallop Punch, Bird Builder Punch

Good luck with your races this weekend Cynthia!!!  I'll be cheering you on from across the country!

Happy Stamping!

A Wee Bit o' Irish

Happy Monday and Happy St Patrick's Day!  Hope you've all got your green on and don't get pinched!

I made a fun little card to give to my boys this morning, along with some green pancakes!  I love doing fun things for them on little holidays like this.

After seeing the fun sketch at The Friday Mashup, I just had to create a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end!  Along with the sketch, we were challenged to create something with a rainbow or rainbow colors, so that's what I did!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, WhisperWhite, Gold Foil, Watercolor Wonder DSP

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Teeny Tiny Wishes

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Word Window Punch, Itty Bitty Punch (circle) Fringe Scissors, Square Framelits, Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Embossing Powder

 

I used my square framelits to create the banner and probably should have flipped my paper over when I cut it to avoid the framelit mark on the paper...note to self for next time!

 

Wishing you all a Happy St Patrick's Day! 

 

Happy Stamping!



Colour Me...Green!

TGIF friends!  The weather has been warmer this week and green is popping up everywhere!  My bulbs are starting to peek out of the ground, the grass is greening up and I'm getting inky with green too...Old Olive to be exact!  The ladies over at Colour Me...! have a monochromatic challenge for us this week using Old Olive and any neutral.

I instantly thought of St Patrick's Day when I saw this challenge, so I pulled out my Silhouette Cameo and cut out some fun MDS images from the Luck O'The Irish and Lucky You digital downloads and created this Irish beauty...

I may have cheated by adding the gold, but it's a must for St Patrick's Day, right?!?!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil, Golf Fancy Foil DSP

Ink ~ Old Olive, Metallic Gold

Stamps ~ February Paper Pumpkin, Oh Hello, Gorgeous Grunge

Other Supplies ~ Very Vintage Designer Buttons (embossed in gold), Brights Designer Buttons, Neutrals Designer Buttons, Gold Bakers Twine, Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Silhouette Cameo, MDS

 

I have one more card to share with you using this color challenge and MDS again.  A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday card for a friend who LOVES golf.  Since I don't have any golf related stamps, I once again turned to MDS for the On the Green stamp brush set.  I was going to cut this image out with my Silhouette as well, but decided it would have taken me way to long to glue all of those little pieces back together :-)  So, I printed the image, added a little grass and golf ball on a tee and VOILA!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Old Olive, Baked Brown Sugar

Ink ~ Old Olive

Stamp Set ~ On the Green (MDS)

Other Supplies ~ 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Fringe Scissors

 

 

I hope things are turning green in your neck of the woods! 

 

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Stamping!
