Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with a card for this weeks Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge (#2607) where anything goes! This week I'm into St. Patty's cards.

I started with a piece of water color textured paper cut 1/8" smaller than an A2 size.  I reached into my stencils and grabbed a sun stencil from Shadnee over on Etsy.  I used some Muster seed distress oxide through the stencil.

I then reached into my Doodlebug OVER THE RAINBOW collection and grabbed this cut gnome tree house and the gnome.  I adhered the tree house down and I used a few scraps for the back of the gnome to give him a bit of dimension but not as big as the sentiment.

Speaking of sentiments, I went into my PAGES on my Mac and created both the HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY! and the MAY YOUR PATH ALWAYS LEAD HOME and put them both in frames and changed the ink to green to match the theme.

I added the bling and I am done!  So easy and I think it is so cute...I just love gnomes!  Do you make St. Patty's Day cards?

Thanks for hacking out with me today and don't forget to head over to Pammies Inky Pinkies and check out all the inspiration and fun challenges.  

I hope I inspired you to put a smile on someone's face by making and sending a card.

Stay crafty

Cheers to All and to all a Good Night!

Hey guys I hope everyone one is keeping warm...Old Man Winter is really giving it to us this year!  

I'm up on the Blogger with this cute Hot cocoa/coffee themed Christmas card.  I know we just got over the Christmas rush but it will be upon us before you know it and I always try to get at least 2 done a month so I am not scrambling at the last minute.  I say that but the inside of my cards seem to take me just as long as the outside some times and until I know exactly who I am sending them to I hold off on doing the inside of them.

I am playing along with a couple of different CHALLENGES this week:

12 Months of Christmas-Christmas card (option-cocoa)
 

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #50

I was surprised on how fast this on came together using 2 wonky stitched circle dies, an image from Angie Bloom Designs, a stencil in my stash and some Copic Markers and a cute Stamp set from Scrapbook.com  

I love these 2 challenges because they get me making those Christmas cards during the year so a lot less stressing in December! Click on the links to join in on the fun and to win some prizes and to get inspired! 

Thanks for hanging out with me,

Have a crafty day!
