Erin Go Braugh!

Glenda, our design team sister at My Sheri Crafts, asked us to create a project featuring shamrocks! I found this 8x10 photo frame at the dollar store and decided to put collage art in it. I used the Word Collage Cricut cartridge and cut the Green Glitter Paper at 9" and trimmed it to size.

Come join our St. Paddy's celebration at My Sheri Crafts!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Warning: a lot of greens were used in the making of this card. :-D My Sheri Crafts is celebrating St. Patrick's Day! For this card, I used an image from ATC Collection. The papers are from Basic Grey and Prima. I also used Stickles for the cut outs and the frames are from Spellbinders. To add more texture, I added Flower Soft on the shamrock. The green ribbon is from a swap.

Green Cards!

I made 5 cards this week, four of which are adaptations of the sketches at RAQ's Challenge. I have not blogged for a week. I was so tired after coming home from work, having worked extra shifts for the past two weeks. Anyway, my spirits are back up, and here are this week's cards...







I moved the elements around in my first card, The background was embossed using Daisy Cuttlebug folder. The label is from Spellbinders and the Shamrock was from Paper Dolls Dress Up, cut at 2". I used stickles and skittles to embellish the elements.

For the second card, I used MAMBI and embossed the background paper and the smaller rectangles with Birds and Swirls. The shamrock crystals are from Recollections and the shamrock ribbon is from Craft Essentials. The frames are from Spellbinders.






The tag used for the third sketch is a lucky find. It's from K&Co and is a leftover from a scrap page. Paper is from K&Co. Ribbon is from Offray and the green flower is from Prima. The background paper is from Bazzil, debossed using Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug folder.





I needed a Thank You card for a swap sister who sent me a lot of embossed paper. The label is from Spellbinder, embossed using Moroccan Screen Cuttlebug folder. Jasmine font was used, cut at 1 1/2". Layered flower is from Prima. Ribbon is from Offray and Paper is K&Co. Green skittles were again used as flower center and for the corners.






I made an extra card Wednesday last week. My inspiration for this card is "green beer". lol! Hubby and I don't drink, but I like the idea of green bubbles. I used Flourished Frame embossing folder. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp. I used Dew Drops for the background.

St. Patty and Baroque Minimalism...Plus Bunnies Too!

We had three wonderful sketches at RAQ's for this week. There was also an extra credit for making a St. Patty's/Father's Day/Mother's Day card. St. Patty's is closer, so I made a couple of them.

Sketch 1 was flipped sideways. I used paper from DCWV, flowers from The Paper Studio. Brads are also from The Paper Studio. The stamped image is a retired stamp from Stampin' Up, colored with pencils and accented with flower soft. Ribbon is from Offray. The beads used for the sentiment was from a pack bought at Hobby Lobby. The marquee is from Storybook, cut at 4 1/2" and embossed with Stylized Flowers.







Sketch 2 was all about tags. I used paper from MAMBI. The stamp is from Studio G, found at the dollar bin. The tag is from Sentimentals, cut at 3". I added green skittles to balance the layout. Ribbons are from Offray.






Sketch three features the same stamp, arranged around the swirl vine from Joys Of The Season, cut at 1 1/2". I distressed and painted some metallic ink on the vine cut. The paisely paper is from DCWV. I embossed the backgound with D'vine Swirls and added gold liquid pearls. More green skittles were used in the background.
