Happy St. Patty's Shaker Card

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with another St. Patty's card.  This time I did a shaker card for Simon Says Wednesday's Challenge. Click on the link and head over there to see all the info on the challenge, the fun prize and all the inspiration.

I used lots of Doodlebug for this one!  Actually everything is from Doodlebug except the shaker bits and the die I used.  I added some squiggly lines around the yellow die cut wonky frame with a jelly roll white pen.

Pro tip- if you do not have acetate to make your shaker, packaging from your crafty goodies works just as well!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I inspired you to put a smile on someone's face by making them a card!

Stay crafty

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.

Cheers! - Simon Says Blog Challenge

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with a St. Patty's card doing a challenge for Simon Says Stamp Blog.  This weeks Challenge is all about Spritz and Splatters!  To join in on the fun or just to get some inspiration Clink on the link and head on over.

I started out with an A2  size white card stock trimmed down an 1/8th of an inch. I went into all of my spritzes and sprays and grabbed a bunch.  I had mowed lawn, wild honey, rusty hinge, and even a color I made up!  I spritzed a color and then heat set it and moved on to each of the other colors doing the same.  After it was completely dried I added some white acrylic paint splatters along with some white acrylic paint mixed with a  little mowed lawn and splattered that.

I printed out an image I purchased off of Etsy. I got 20 of the cutest St. Patty images that are perfect for doing quick cards!  Here is a link to her shop if you want to head over and check them out. I printed this image out on a 3x3 watercolor paper and I loved the look.  I die cut it with one of my stitched dies (I really don't even know what to call that shape).

I die cut the CHEERS! from an alpha die from Recollections. I used the same color card stock that I used for the sentiment to back the card and adhered it altogether. My final step was to add glossy accents to the top of the beer and to the letters in the sentiment.  It really was a fun card to make.  I love playing with inks.  Do you use sprays and splatters on your cards?

I so appreciate you hanging out with me today and I hope I inspired you to make a card and put a smile on someones face today.

Make it a crafty day!
