True Friends Are Like Four Leaf Clovers

I hope your week is going well. It seems like mine is flying. My son is getting married in April and I've been preocupied with finding a dress and other arrangements.

 

Today I'm sharing a shaker card made with Waffle Flower goodies. I started with that Lucky Clover Shaker that I wanted to turn into a square card. So I selected a set of Lacy Square Dies for the card base/foundation.

First I die cut the shaker from the scallop panel and then inked it with shamrocks using the Clover Background stencil. Using markers I added random dots in shades of green to add more color to the design.

The sentiment is from the Postage Collage Lucky stamp set. The shaker fillers are clovers cut with the bitty dies in the Lucky Clover Shaker die set.

I'm playing at Tuesday Morning Sketches where this is the sketch this week.

I hope you find some time to play! You can adapt this sketch to just about any papercraft item you own - stamp or die!

Have a great day! See you tomorrow!

Lucky Day!

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm wishing you LUCKY with a St. Patrick's Day card. I'm also linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where they're looking for a Touch of Green! This one should apply - it's pretty much monochromatic green! :P

If I had to choose a favorite older die set that I come back to time and time again it would be the Stacked Edges from Pretty Pink Posh. They have a few sets with three different patterns each. I used the diamonds for my design. Here's what I love about them.. they fit together like puzzle pieces so they lay completely flat when you are making a card background.

I topped my pieced border background with a big Shamrock Shaker that I embellished with Lucky stamp set designs.

The Lucky Shadow die comes with a background die that I cut from gold foil and a detailed die that I cut from white cardstock. I complimented the gold "shadow" word die with a sprinkle of gold jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope you have a great day and find some time to make it all!

Best of Luck

Sending you lots of luck today (and always) as we approach St. Patrick's Day! I had fun mixing different elements to create this fun card that's sure to have you smiling!

I started with the February Mug that I inked with Copic markers. The clean line design makes this cute clover embellished mug easy to color with any media. I decided it would look super cute with a surprise - a Cute Peeker inside the mug. But which one to choose?

I decided on the Unicorn because if you follow the rainbow it's supposed to lead you to a pot of gold! I added some colorful stripes to my design to replicate a rainbow and added a mix of sparkly gems to make this magical!

That Buffalo Check background is a "Foilable" sheet that I foiled with Tinsel Green Cheerfoil. I'm new to laminated foiling and originally thought I'd have to leave the background white and foil.. but thought I'd be daring and try to add some Twisted Citron Ranger Distress Ink. I was hesitant because when I foil with another brand, and then use a brush inker, much of the foil comes off my design. That doesn't happen with Cheerfoil.. all the foil stays in place perfectly so you are free to add all the ink blending you like.

I wish you could see this one in person! It's shiny, sparkly and oh so super cute! I hope you're smiling! Hugs to you! I hope you find some time to make today!

Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Shamrocks Giveaway!

I'm so lucky to have you as friends! Things have been so busy for me lately and I wish I could spend more time visiting with you. I wanted to do something nice to let you know that I'm thinking of you and every single day I appreciate the kindness you give to me.

My card today is made with the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Shamrocks. I love that the set has lots of different sizes and stitched patterns. I think the stitches really show well on the gold foil die cuts.

I stacked lots of shamrocks to add more color to their centers, but you can arrange them however you like. I liked the soft green background but it looked a little flat so I die cut it with the Pierced Hearts Plate. I think it works because t he clovers look like they're made from three hearts.

The Lucky Shadow die makes the perfect sentiment. I paired it with a small sentiment from the Lucky stamp set.

Do you love the Stitched Shamrocks? How would you like a set for yourself?
