Very simple, but I love this stamp set.

Hello Crafty Friends,

Well, Valentine's Day is over, so now it is time to start creating for St. Patrick's Day.  Today I have a card I created to send to someone I am lucky to know.

The clover was stamped using the "kissing technique".  First, you ink up the stamp and then before you stamp it, I used the small shamrock and took ink from the clover.  Then after I did each petal, I then stamped the clover onto the Whip Cream Cardstock.  You can faintly see the image of the little shamrock on the big clover petals. 

This technique works well with a silhouette image.  Try it!

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Pot of Gold, I'm Lucky
Paper: Whip Cream Cardstock, Limeade Splash Cardstock
Ink: Kiwi Slice, Black Licorice
Silk: Gold
Accessories: Journey Sparkle Dust, Journey Glaze

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a birthday card I want to share with you.

I will be honest, it did not come out the way I had pictured it in my mind, but I still like it.

I created the flower using Crepe Paper and die cutting it from the Romance Flower die set.  I layered a large flower with a slightly smaller flower.  Once I had the flowers adhered to my card, I scrunched them up a bit.


Supplies Used:
Stamp: Cake Time, Deco Dots ATS
Paper: Pool Play Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock, Beach Breeze Cardstock, Spring Crepes
Ink: Beach Breeze
Silk: Sparkle
Dies: Romantic Bloom, Border Basics
Accessories: Sparkle Drops, Pool Play Sparkle Tape

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I want to share an one of a kind card I created for our dear friend.

First, there is a story behind the card.  Debbie is my mom's best friend and we have known her for over 30 years.  She comes to our house about every other week and she has come to love my little Princess.  In fact, when we say that "Auntie Debbie" is coming, Princess gets very excited.  So, for Debbie's birthday, I created this card:

I fell in love with this stamp from Fun Stampers Journey.  I loved it even more, when I could color it to look just like my baby.

Of course, Debbie loved it and there will never be one just like it.
I put another personal touch and had Princess "sign it".

I used my Journey Splash Colored Pencils and created a "pool" of color with water on a block.  I then dipped her paw into the color and used it as an ink pad.

Enjoy!

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Pocket Pup, Cake Time
Paper: Whip Cream Cardstock, Bubble Gum Cardstock, Spring Filled Pattern Paper
Ink: Black Licorice
Silk: Sparkle
Dies:  Border Basics, Heart Film 
Accessories:  Heart Sparkle Drops, Cool Pool Satin Ribbon, Whip Cream Thread,

Journey Splash Colored Pencils,  Journey Color Burst Pencils

2/15/18 Stampin Friends Birthday Bash Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!  This month's theme is Birthday Bash.   If you are following along with the hop, you should have arrived from  Andrea's blog.

This month's theme was Birthday Bash.  I love to create special cards and projects for those I love on their birthday.  Today, I would like to share with you a card with a bag to match.

Up first, is the card I created.

I created the strip of flower pattern paper, by stamping the flower with Black Licorice ink onto the Whip Cream Cardstock.  When needed, I masked the leaves out, by using a post it note to cover that section, after inking up the stamp.

Now, for the bag.  I created the bag in the same manner as the card, just on a slightly bigger scale.

Don't the bag and card look good next to each other?  I can't to give this to a special someone.

I hope you have found inspiration with my card and projects.  Remember to continue on the hop for more inspiration by going to Sue's Blog next.
