Happy St. Patrick's Day

Sip Sip Hooray!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just had to pop in and share this card created with

You're My Pot of Gold Stamps

Pajama Crafter Stamps

 I stamped the beer mugs from the stamp set and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

3 large shamrocks and 2 small ones were stamped with a variety of green inks.

I added a little glitter glue to them and the beer foam.

The papers used are from

Emerald Isle 6 x6 Paper Pad.

I cut one of the double sided papers in strips and alternated both sides

to create a striped background with solid green strips.

The mugs are popped onto layered die cuts.   

Sentiments were stamped, trimmed to strips and popped as well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Bunny Centerpiece

Are you ready for spring? 

I know I am but living in Colorado we probably have a little more winter to go. 

Hi there! 

I'm here today posting on behalf of Clear Scraps. 

And I thought if it can’t be spring quite yet why not create 

a spring themed bunny centerpiece for the “feel of spring”.  

I am using 3 products, the Small Bunny Shiplap Shape, Medium Wood Stand and the 

Faith Embellishment Chipboard Punchout.

Start by choosing a patterned paper

Trace the bunny on the backside of the patterned paper.

Cut out the tracing

Paint the back of the bunny with white acrylic paint.

Adhere the patterned paper to the front of the bunny with Mod Podge. Apply Mod Podge to the top of the patterned paper to. Seal.

Paint the 2 pieces of the wood stand with green acrylic paint.

Paint the Easter Egg from the chipboard punch out light purple.

Glue the 2 wood stand pieces together.

Add more color to the egg.

Gather the wood stand, the egg and a variety of flowers.

Adhere the bunny to the wood stand.

Add some upright flowers.

Adhere the egg.

Add a few more flowers

Cut 2 pieces of ribbon. One is for a bow and the other will go around the bunny’s neck.

Add ribbon and bow and the centerpiece is complete.

Thanks for taking a look at my Bunny Centerpiece project. I hope I have provided inspiration for you to create your own spring centerpiece.

Spring Tweet Release

 Happy Friday!

It's New Release Day at

Pajama Crafter Stamps! 

There are 3 new "Spring Themed" stamp sets.

I used Where Hope Blooms for this card.

3 of the images from the set were stamped and 

colored with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting.

I embossed the background with an embossing folder and added color with ink.

2 of the images were adhered to die cuts.

I cut 2 banners and placed behind the images.

The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut.

Sequins were added to finish.

My 2nd card was created with

Birds of a Feather.

My card base is A2 size, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and is a light blue in color.

I inked the top of a white piece of card stock, measuring @ 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 inches.

The sentiment was stamped on the lower portion.

A medium blue mat was cut to 4 x 5 1/4 inches.

The birds were stamped, colored with Castle Arts Harmonious Pencils and fussy cut.

I die cut 4 foliage pieces and a scalloped circle and plain circle.

Adhere the white panel to the mat and then to the card base.

Layer the circles.

Adhere to the card.

Add the foliage pieces.

The bird images to popped with foam tape onto the foliage.

Sequins are added to complete.

See my short video below.

Party Balloon Bunny Rabbit

 If you like creating cards with cute characters 

Polkadoodles has some great ones!

The Party Time Printables are adorable.

My card here uses

Party Balloon Bunny Rabbit.

I printed the bunny, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

She was added to my background comprised of one of the

papers in the Birthday Celebration Party Downloads.

Die cut grass and fence were added, as well as a cloud die cut,

which I printed the sentiment on.

You can find the sentiment from the collection HERE!

This card was pretty quick and easy to put together.

Thanks for checking it out!

You Make my Heart Bloom

 Happy Friday!

I love to color! How about you?

And some of my favorite images are from

Conie Fong Art & Design.

I had printed and colored this one, Leilani,

a little while back and lost track of it until a few days ago.

Came across it while looking for something else. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one that does this?

So, I thought I would put her on a card, which is super simple.

I had printed the image a little larger than I normally would.

Colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

No fussy cutting done, which is out of the ordinary for me!

A sentiment was stamped. I added some sequins and double matted.

Not a lot needed as the image is so pretty!

Thanks for taking a look.

I hope you have a great weekend!
