Cards for St Patrick's Day

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!!!

Just a quick post this morning then I have a very busy day ahead!

I started yesterday with writing down and keep track of different stamp sets for different holidays. I feel like I am always using the same stamps on cards so this will better help me to use a variety. I got the top 2 shelves done but have many more to go thru! 

Today I am sharing the St Patrick's Day cards that I made for the card rack and also some for Audrey's last card order. She loved the St Patrick's Day Gnome paper that came from Hobby Lobby and wanted that used for the great granddaughter's cards.

Card Details:

Stamps: Lucky Clover (retired), Rough Edges Alphabet (retired)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Basic White, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Greetings of the Season Dies (Online Exclusives), Stylish Shapes Dies, Gold Trim Ribbon, Gold Sequins (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Here is a single card I made for Audrey's friend who is Irish...

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy St Patrick's (retired)

Ink: Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Very Vanilla, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Holiday Rhinestones (retired), Lemon Lime Twist Stitched Ribbon (retired), Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Just love the papers that Hobby Lobby has been carrying!

That is all for me today!

I'll have more to share tomorrow!

Happy St Patrick's Day

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

It's a dreary morning here in PA. The rain is on our doorstep which literally makes me want to jump back in bed. I have lots of laundry waiting on me so that nap may have to wait until later! I'm keeping things simple today with laundry and a pot of chili for supper. 

Yesterday around noon time I get a text from Shawn that he forwarded to me. It was a message from CVS that my Mounjaro injections had come in and was ready for pick up! Imagine my surprise and quite honestly I thought it was a mistake but he stopped and picked it up on his way home from work so it wasn't a mistake by any means! It ended up being injection day afterall so that made my day! It was late last evening until I did get to inject since we did a quick trip to BB's Grocery in Quarryville. I found some protein shakes there that are good until 2025 so that was a plus. This morning I woke up feeling good...no nausea but just a bit tired which could be related to this dreary weather. 

Anyways, this past week I finished up an order for Audrey. The cards  I am sharing today were the last 2 she requested for the great granddaughters, Evie & Malia. 

I used a mish mash of different things on these but so fun to make!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lucky Clover (retired)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Basic White, Shamrocks - The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Lucky Clover Punch (retired), Mini Alphabet Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Dimensionals, Adhesive Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She loved them and loved that they were personalized for each baby!

Coffee & A Mystery NOT A Card Challenge

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I wanted to share with you a sweet project that I made for Kitchen Table Stampers Coffee & A Mystery NOT A Card Challenge. She gave her followers these directions last Wednesday and Thursday she did a Facebook Live on how she made her project. 

Here are the directions if you want to try your hand at this little box...

And here is the boxes that I made with the challenge...

When I first started to make these I wasn't quite sure what I was going to put inside of them since I did not have any candy on hand for this holiday. Of course then I went thru my closet and found a whole bag of unopened Hershey's Almond Nuggets. They were perfect for this since they are in a Gold Wrapper and 4 nuggets fit nicely inside! I only made 4 boxes but these are a nice size and would be awesome for any other holiday!

Project Details:

Stamps: Lucky Clover

Ink: Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (SAB 23)

Accessories: Lucky Clover Punch, Corner Rounder (retired), Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Metallic Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have come to really love the Lucky Clover Bundle this year!

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Happy March, too!

It's the start of a new month which will bring lots of changes!

To start, the clocks get changed next weekend (March 12th) as we spring ahead an hour! Then we have the 1st day of Spring on March 20th! I am looking forward to some spring weather but not really on the time change. It messes too much with people & doggy schedules! 

And we also celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17th and as luck would have it....I have a pretty set of St. Patrick's Day cards to share with you today that were made for Audrey!

I was so excited when I seen Stampin Up!'s January-April Mini Catalog because we got a St. Patrick's Day set! We've not had one in atleast 10 years! It was the first item on my order in January and could not wait to use it! 

This was not my first play with this awesome stamp set....I used it a few weeks ago with the Stack & Shuffle Technique which was so fun!

I kept this set a bit more simple since they were for a customer and I wanted to use that cool Cane Weave 3D EF! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Lucky Clover

Ink: Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (retired SAB 23)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Cane Weave 3D EF, Lucky Clover Punch, Granny Apple Green Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Needless to say, Audrey was happy with this set and she smiled from ear to ear when she took them out of the cello bag and felt that embossed panel. The Cane Weave 3D EF has a very deep impression and I was afraid it would wrinkle/crack the cardstock but it did not! YAY!

Well, that is all for me today!

I am off to the dentist this morning for some not so fun stuff. My lady dentist left the practice at the end of December and I really liked her. She had such a friendly, warm way about her that put you at ease. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went...

Lucky Clover Stack & Shuffle

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

I have been working all week on designing card kits for future Stamp Day w/ Friends get togethers. I haven't had any card orders so this is what I do when I have some free downtime. My hands are starting to bother me especially at night when sleeping so today I am going to take it easy and get my stamp table ready for Saturday. I also have laundry to work on because that chore seems never ending.

I have another set of Stack & Shuffle cards to share with you today.

I have been loving this technique and what a great way to show off your papers!

I pulled out DSP from the 2023 SaleABRation offering called Dandy Designs. Such a pretty pack of paper! There are 48 sheets of 12 x 12 in the pack that you get for FREE with a $100 order. 

I also pulled out the Lucky Clover stamp set & coordinating Lucky Clover Punch to create these. This bundle is a newbie from the 2023 January - April Mini Catalog. It's such a popular bundle that the punch has already been sold out! The stamp set is still available but the punch is not and Stampin Up! informed us that they will not order anymore due to shipping issues around the world. Having a St. Patrick's Day stamp set was music to my ears as we've not had one in many years! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Lucky Clover

Ink: Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (SAB 23)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Lucky Clover Punch, Waves Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am thankful I was able to get this stamp set & punch as I make & send St. Patrick's Day cards every year and the papers just make it even better!
