Happy St. Patrick's Day 3

Another St. Patty's Day card.  This is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch card.  I started with a black card base.  I just received a big order from Paper Trey Ink.  Their paper is really thick and makes the best bases for cards. I take a piece of the 8 1/2 X 11 inch card stock and cut it in half  at 4.25 X 11 and then fold it in half. This gives me two sturdy card bases.
Next is the white layer at 4 x 5.25 and then the patterned paper from DCWV's Lemon Flower Stack at 3.75 x 5.  The "Happy St. Patrick's Day" phrase is from Martha Stewart's Seasonal Cake Art.
I often say that the cake cartridges are some of my favorites for paper crafting!  They have really good phrases also.  I cut the phrase and the shadow at 2.5 inches.
I adhered the patterned paper and the white layer together and then added the ribbon.  Then put both layers on the base card.  I added the little green flower and gem.  Then I popped up the phrase on the card.

I finished the inside with some yellow paper and a row of the Shamrock Border from Paper Doll Dress up.

I made this card for the Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #56.

More Christmas cards

Variations on a theme

I did several color combinations of this card and made several of each combination!

The Merry Christmas is from Martha Stewart's Seasonal Art cartridge on page 73.  These are all 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cards.  The holly leaf on the striped card is from Joys of the Season on page 69.

This is the other color variation I did on the Globe card that I previously posted.  For details check the earlier post!

Merry Christmas Glass Block

My first glass block.  I am really happy with the way this turned out.  Every member of my family came in and said, " That's nice. Where did you buy it?".  I got to say, "Buy?  I made it!".

I bought the clear glass block at Hobby Lobby and sprayed it with Rust-o-leum Frosted Glass spray.
I cut the designs out in dark green vinyl.  The Merry Christmas is from Martha Stewart's Seasonal Cake Art on page 73.  I love the scripted look of this and have used it on some of my Christmas cards this year also.  The holly leaf is from Joys of the Season and is the shift image on page 69.  I added some xmas red stickles for the berries.  Then a small strand (30) white lights.

Thinking about making some more for Christmas gifts.

Merry Christmas Wreath

Card # 2.  For this card I used the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge.  It is a 5.5 X 5.5 card.
I cut the wreath from page 43 at 4.75" from paper from the DCWV Holiday Collection.  I cut the layers from red glitter from DCWV Christmas & Winter Collection Glitter Cardstock Matstack.  I also cut the Merry Christmas from page 73 from the same red glitter at 1.25".

For the inside I used a Stampin' Up stamp that I have had for a couple years from a set called Heard from the Heart.

Graduation Card 2011

A simple graduation card.  It is a 4 1/4 X 6 inch card. The base card is DCWV Shimmer card stock and the patterned paper is from DCWV Grade School paper stack.  I rounded the corners on the patterned paper.  The Congrats is from Lyrical Letters.  I used the main image, the shadow and the shadow blackout cuts.  Some Lime Green Stickles for the tassel and a star shaped brad finish the cap.  A black ribbon and the front is done.

The Happy Graduation is from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge. I used the phrase and the shadow.

A quick simple card.
