Happy St Patrick's Day - Again!

Happy Friday!   It's Jeanne posting today with another St. Patrick's Day card.  This one use the St. Patrick's Day Phrase and More and the St. Patrick's Day Cupcake dies.

I wanted to do something a bit different so I went for a stand-up easel card.

I started with an 8 1/2 x 5 1/5 inch piece of green card stock scored in the middle.

On the bottom section I very lightly drew a line across it at the 2 1/8 inch mark (halfway between the score line and the bottom).  The line should be erased after die cutting.

I placed the third largest stitched circle die equal distance from each side with the pencil line halfway up and down (centered on my pencil line).  I did not measure - I just eyeballed it.  Then I ran it through my Big Shot using a small plate I have.

This cuts out just half the circle.  I then scored each side from the circle to the edge.

When you fold, it gives you the easel.

Next I cut my pieces from gold, green, black and white.

And I assembled them.

I cut three panels from green, black and patterned paper.  The green is 5 1/2 x 2 1/8 inches.  The others are 1/8 inch smaller in both directions.

I added the black panel on top of the green.  I also had to snip the Happy St Patrick's Day apart to fit on my panel.

And finally I put it all together.  Although the card looks a little complicated, it is actually quite easy.

Good Morning Everyone!

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!
Just a quick reminder that our new Spring Release dies are on sale today for 25% off!  Don't miss out on this fantastic savings!
I have started making my Easter cards.  And today I am using one of the new release dies that is absolutely gorgeous and the true meaning of Easter.

Design Steps:

Use a stencil to create the sunburst.  I used Tim Holtz inks and blender tool to add the color

Use the second to the largest Pierced Rectangle die to cut out the stencil sunburst

Use the He is Risen Cross die and cut them out of white card stock

Use a light blue A2 card base.  Cut a piece of light yellow card stock 4 x 5 1/4 and run it through an embossing folder

Glue the embossed yellow card stock to the blue card base.  Pop up the sunburst onto the card on the left side of the card front

Glue the He is Risen to the front of the card

Pop up the cross on the left side of the card and your card is complete

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello! This is Sukie and I'm back for my guest designer post with this fun St. Patrick's Day card.  The Lucky Leprechaun at the focal point of my card is one of the adorable dies from the Valentine's release.

For my card I went with a monochromatic theme with the different shades of green, however, I used a white background to ensure the leprechaun would pop on my card.  A few gold accents provided the perfect amount of sparkle to the leprechaun's accessories.  

The white panel was cut with the Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set which was layered on another panel cut from the Stitched Rectangle Set.

The papers for my standard A2 card base are from the DCWV Double Sided Cardstock stack.  The double sided sheet provided a contrasting look to the background.  I used a punch for the circle which was sized perfectly for the sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Dancing in Circles stamp set and it was heat embossed on the circle.  The heat embossing gives the sentiment an extra bold look. 

Here are the dies I used on my card available in the shop:

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hi!

It's Anja here. Winter is slowly waving its goodbye and warmer days are coming. I can't wait for the Spring to come.

I made a simple card for today's post. I used an adorable Scottie die and made a card for St. Patrick's Day.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Shamrock & Valentine Scottie, Oval Set),
- Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss, Mowed Lawn),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- white card base (10,5x15 cm),
- patterned paper for background (10x14,5 cm),
- printed sentiment,
- gold pigment ink,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- paper trimmer,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the dog. I used black and white pen fr the eyes.

Then I cut all the pieces for the background.

I printed and trimmed the sentiment.

And than I assembled the card together. I used adhesive foam pads for the dog.

I'm still waiting for the Spring Release to arrive, but you can get it for 25 % off in The Scrapping Cottage store.

This is all from me for today.

Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
