Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  I have a very sweet card to share with you today.

I had fun creating this card.
The base of the card is Butter Cream Cardstock, with a layer of Lemon Grass Cardstock and then a layer of Through the Year prints.
I then wrapped a piece of Lemon Grass Thread around the card and tied a bow.
I stamped the jars from the All Year Long stamp set on a piece of Buttercream Cardstock in River Stone ink and then stamped the jars again using Lemon Grass, Kiwi Slice and Fresh Forest inks.  I then detail cut out the three shamrock and glued them onto the jars.  I placed the jars on the card with foam squares.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Black Licorice ink on to the card.
I finished the card by adding some Sparkle Silk to the jars.

All supplies are from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased here.

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's Friday!  Thank goodness.
Today I have a fun card to share with you.  If you know me, you know that I love anything that has to do with coffee.  Today's card is a celebration of my love of coffee and St. Patrick's Day.

The base of the card is Butter Cream Cardstock.  I took the Coffee Helps, coffee stain stamp and River Stone ink and lightly stamped the stain onto Lemon Grass Cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with River Stone ink.
I then die cut the coffee cup with the Coffee First Die set with Through the Year Pattern Prints and Buttercream Cardstock.
Next I added the Black Gingham ribbon and knotted it on the left side.  I added a Lemon Grass Thread bow on top.
I finished the card, by detail cutting out one of the shamrocks from the pattern paper and added it to the coffee cup with foam squares.

Hello Crafty Friends,

This week is St. Patrick's day and I have some cards I created to celebrate.
The first one I am going to share is one that was very fun to create.  I also tried something new.

I stamped the large shamrock from theI'm Lucky ATS with Lemon Grass Splash ink on Butter Cream Cardstock.  I then matted this onto Lemon Grass Cardstock.  I then used the Journey Corner Rounder to create the notches on either side.  I then wrapped Lemon Grass Thread around the card and tied a piece of Limeade Splash Satin Ribbon.
I stamped the sentiment from All Year Long stamp set with Black Licorice ink onto Butter Cream Cardstock.  I then cut the banner end on one side and adhered the piece to the card.
To finish the card I splattered Sparkle and Electric Lime silk to the whole card.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have a card today that has no stamping.  I know this is not an "usual" card because we always use stamps, but I think you are going to like this.

I started with a piece of Good Life paper with the pink flowers.  I added a strip of the gingham paper and adhered it to the first piece.   I then wrapped and tied a bow with Whip Cream Thread.
I then die cut the word Hello with the Hugh Hello Die out of Rustic Rose Cardstock.  I glued this down to the card panel.  I then added 3 pearls to the bottom corner.
Lastly, I added the panel to the Whip Cream card base with foam squares.

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you, that is quick and easy.  One of those cards that are easy to make when you need a card quickly.

The card base was made with a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock and a piece of Good Life Prints.
I then die cut a Journey Ovals out of  Whip Cream Cardstock and adhered to the card.
Next, I stamped the hello from "A Simple Hello" stamp and detail cut just the word hello out.  I attached this to the card using foam squares.
To finish the card, I added three pearls to the card in a triangle shape.
