Sending Luck & Love

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with a St. Patty's Card playing along with not one but two challenges this week.  Simon Says Stamp and Double Trouble Paper Crafting.  Both were a challenge and got me thinking outside the box.  To join in or to just get some inspiration click on the links I provided.

For Simon Says Stamp the challenge was WHEELS...so you had to make a card with wheels somewhere on it so when I saw this image I knew this would be the card to make.  For the Double Trouble Challenge boy those girls really make you work for it!  Here is the recipe:↓

So for my card I used a digi stamp I purchased off of Etsy...20 images for $2 and they are all St. Patty themed (click here for the shop).  I think this card hit on all of the 3,2,1 requirements and I am not mad at it.  I will say I put the pattern paper in the embossing folder wrong so I got a de-boss instead of an emboss but I still love the look and it still counts!

Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope I was able to inspire you to make a card and put a smile on someone's face.

Autumn Blessings

Hey everyone, I'm up on the blog for Day 8 of the Coffee Lovers Blog hop and today I have a very Fall vibes card I put together.

I used a white A2 Card base and used some Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin on it to ink distress the background.  I used my favorite stamp and die set from AlteNew to stamp and die cut the to go cup.  I actually die cut this and stamped it afterwards...I usually don't do that but it turned out great! 

I have this awesome leaf die and stamp set that came with a mini embossing folder, called Autumn Morning.  I die cut the leaves and inked them with Carved Pumkin and Gathered Twigs and I used the embossing folder to emboss the bottom 2" strip under the sentiment and the sleeve for the cup.

I started placing my leaves where I wanted them and tuck a few under the to go cup and adhered it all down.  I backed the 2" strip with a scrap piece from the JAVA GOOD TIME paper pad I had left and popped it up on foam tape. 

I added that cute little fox from Doodlebug (Doodlepop) isn't he adorable?  I added a few sequins and then stamped the sentiment, that came with the die set, inked it as well and adhered it to the card.  This card just screams FALL to me!

If you are still interested in getting in on the hop, today is the last day so hurry!  Here is the link.

Thanks for stopping by,
