A Jar of Shamrocks

This is the regular size A-2 card.  I cut the yellow cs to 5 1/4 x 4, ran it through the Cuttlebug with one of their folders and rounded the corners. The dark green cs is cut to 5 1/8 x 3 7/8, rounded the corners and cut out the middle with Spellbinder Label 8.  I used Label 11 for the saying and the dark green mounting cs.  I stamped out Stipple Shamrock and cut it out. The jar was stamped and the solid shamrocks were stamped with Brillance ink and cut out, and poped up.  Green Faux Pearls are in the corner.

Stamps used: Crackerbox Palace rubber stamps

Full of Luck

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. So I made a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day card. 

I can't believe how fast this year is going.

I used a Cuttlebug folder on the white background piece of cs. I didn't put the cs all the way into the folder, about 1" was hanging out the end so the top wouldn't be embossed. I cut a piece of printed paper for the band across the top.  I stamped and embossed the saying and stamped the shamrocks in the corners.  I cut out the saying with Spellbinder Mega Curved Rectangle.  I stamped and embossed the horse shoe on silver mirrored cs and cut it out.  I layed it on the white cs and penciled the inside of the horse shoe, I stamped the shamrocks with Brillance Thyme ink and erased the pencil line. I cut out the shape of the white cs with Spellbinder Label 11 and glued the horse shoe on. I then cut out a gree mat.

This is a card that Claudia Schroedl made. She stamped the feet and cut them out so she could add gauze around the leg. She also has gauze on the inside of the card.

Blooms

Chick Alizadeh made this card a while back but I thought it would brighten up the day.  In Wisconsin, it is foggy, drizzly but warm for WI in Feb. it is already 34 degrees WooHoo. Being warm out, the snow is melting and looks dirty all over that is why I thought something bright, pretty, and cheery would be good for today.

She used a Spellbinder Pierceabilities and embossed our Blooms word.

I Sea Another Birthday

This card was done by Lois Larson.  She used our fish named Smiley and added wiggle eyes.  She colored Smiley with watercolored pencils.  The splash was added and glitter was added.  The background that works so well with this card is wallpaper. Great idea Lois.
