St. Patrick's Day 2

Here's a card I did with digital papers from Echo Park "St. Patrick's Mini", Corina Gardner "All That's Gold"(I was surprised at how well the gold printed out!),  The Graphic's Fairy free printables, And Heather Hudson's "St. Patrick's Day Ticket and St. Patrick's Day Postage Stamp".  The Horseshoe and and metal shamrock were Momenta Metal.  The cloth Shamrock was a Maya Road "Velvet and jewel flower" that I altered into a Shamrock by attaching 6 of the petals together and cutting the remaining one to make a stem.  The black polka dot ribbon and Frame were American Craft.  The Green jewels were Want to Scrap. I cut out each stamp and used a hole punch on the edges and mounted to blackcardstock and hung with a ribbon.  I used Graphics 45 brads to anchor the ribbon and the gold string that holds the frame.  I think that the gold frame, charms and other bling qualify it for Sparkly and am entering it into Cupcake Inspriations "Sparkly" ... Congrats to them for their 300 challenge celebration. See below for links and badges where entered.

Another Happy Camper card.

Stamps: Paper Smooches  "Happy Camper"  I used a masking technique to put them together...The trees were from a Fiskars Kids collection, the acorns Wplus 9, the scene was drawn by hand and mounted on Doodlebug design paper.
Coloring: Spectrum Noir pens, stitching ballpoint pen, Fiskars black ink stamp.  Glossy Accents was used on the eyes and noses to give a little sparkle...  Hope you enjoy,

St Patrick's Day Girl

Here's a St.Patrick's Day card with a Stampendous stamp  "Halloween Magic" That I transformed into St. Patrick's by covering the gear with a shamrock.  The Card was from Silhouette, it was a gate fold that I altered to fit my stamp.  The Coloring was Spectrum Noir (a combo of pens and pencils.)  I also used a Wink of Luna on the mask, clock, and slippers.  The inside was a saying that i located in card software and printed out on green construction paper and inked the edges (I did it last year and don't remember whether it was Hallmark or Print Shop).  I also highlighted the letters and edges with Wink of Luna.  The design was inspired by Papercrafter's Corner challenge picture, when I saw the hat it hit me that I hadn't used this stamp and it was the same hat!  Wow... The saying was Silhouette "St. Patrick's Day Sayings".  Look below for the challenge badges and links.

See the fun sparkle on the mask, watch, shoes?

Coffee Lovers Hop card 6

Welcome to the Coffee Lover's  Spring Blog Hop where Coffee Lover's Unite and are creating Coffee themed Creations!  For my sixth card is  a card using Graphics 45 Botanical Tea.. The chipboard "Good Morning" & hearts,  the Coffee cup, and enamel dots were from I won on the last one from Anja Curvers.  The bird stamp was from Unity "June 2013 KOM" when I saw it I thought that it would be perfect for the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge "Birds of  Feather" and would simply tie the colors and flowers together. The frame was from American Crafts that I won from Papercrafter's corner.  The stamps for the flowers were  Heartfelt Creations "Holly Berry" and "Sun Kissed Fleur" stamped  on vellum with white versamark and heat embossed with white then colored with Spectrum Noir Pens.

Coffee Lover's Spring Hop Card 4

Welcome to the Coffee Lover's  Spring Blog Hop where Coffee Lover's Unite and are creating Coffee themed Creations!  For my fourth card is  a Tea Card using Graphics 45 Botanical Tea.. I also used my new Epiphany Crafts Shapes Studio Button, Butterfly, and Oval.  For the cup I used a SVG file From Cards by Bird (Vintage Tea Easel Card) I used pattern paper I purchased (sorry, don't remember which).  Beth Williams gave me the Petaloo flowers (THANKS).  The Sentiment and teabag were Unity "Your my cup of tea".  The lovely green twine was Doodlebug.  The vellum bird was K Co. I also highlighted the cup design, tea, button, and bird with Wink of Stella.  It really shines well, hard to capture.

Coffee Lovers bag with tag.

Welcome to the Coffee Lover's  Spring Blog Hop where Coffee Lover's Unite and are creating Coffee themed Creations!  For my third card I again used a stamps by Sweet Stamp Shop "Coffee Town"  that I won on the last hop from An'jenic Gibson.  I used a Kraft bag that I believe she sent me also, but it could have been someone else.  The paper was "Chocolate Lovers" by K&Co.  The images were colored with Spectrum Noir pencils, and the cute little cupcake brad was Recollections, generic ribbon.
