Hello,
Checkin in on my Gnomies. Did you see what I did there? I love this giant gnomes. They so much fun to color. I usually make the gnomes bears gray, but it was a fun twist to make it an orangish color. I didn't put a sentiment on it. It is rare thing for me. I always feel like they are unfinished without a sentiment. What do you think?

Hello,
I've had these monkey stamps for years. They remain some of my favorite because they are simple, sweet and most importantly fun. They just make me smile every time. I used all three monkeys int he set to make 3 different St. Patrick's day cards. I hope to share them over the next few weeks with you. Here is the first.
I love this fold. It is easy and playful. I was also able to use up some pattern paper that I had in my stash! WhooHoo! The paper wasn't meant to be used for St. Patty's day, but it worked out perfectly.
Welcome,
I'm having so much fun with St. Patrick's Day cards this year. I used a old bookmark die I had in my stash to create this upside tag on my card. I think it give the card a playful feel. What do you think? I used gel pens to color the rainbow. It adds the perfect amount of shine/glitter to the card.

Most of us have tons of background stamps. I love them! I'm always looking for new ways to use them. Check out how I used ink cubes to get a multicolored background. I hope you will give this a try. It was so much fun to create!

Hello!
I don't usually make a lot of St. Patrick's Day cards, but these stamps were just so amazing. My favorite stamp in this release is the shamrock background. I have another card I made with it. I'll share it later this month. I played around and made a surprise flap card. I love that it could hide a secret message. Check out the video to see this card in action.
I made a few versions of this card. I'd love to know which is your favorite.

Happy St. Patrick's Day,
My hubby helped me put together this little leprechaun. I had the idea, but he helped me figure out all the measurements. His face lifts up to reveal your personal message. I'm so glad he supports my crazy ideas!
I hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Top of the Mornin' to ya!
I often forget about using negative space. We usually use the die cut, rather than the surrounding paper on cards. I really like how the pretty St. Patrick's Day paper shows through the shamrock. I raised the panel up on dimensional foam to add a little more interest. Definitely one of my favorite St. Patty Day cards!
Hello,
I hope you are feeling lucky today. We all are a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
Greetings,
I saw a kid's craft project where kids traced and put shapes together to make a leprechaun's face. What a cool idea for a card! I showed it to my IT guy (aka husband). He is also crafty and was able to draw out the basic shapes in our silhouette program. In no time at all we had a shaped card. I love it!
He fits in an A2 envelope. He is so adorable! Thank you to my hubby for dealing with my Shenanigans!
I used Art Impressions' Sham-rock set for sentiments.

Hello friends,
I bought this St. Patty's Day stamp last year and it has been sitting on my table for a full year. I couldn't let this holiday go by without getting some ink on it. I just think this frog is super cute!
It has been a popular idea to cut stipes of paper to decorate part or all of a card. I thought I'd give it a try. I cut up a bunch of green cardstock and green glitter cardstock. I wanted them to be all different widths. Then just glued them to the white base until they met the frog's feet. It was are really easy background to create.
