Non-traditonal Shamrock Card

Hello friends, I have a non-traditional Shamrock card today, celebrating my Irish roots. This card features the Stitched Shamrock dies from Pretty Pink Posh, along with four different products from the Scrapbook.com Joyful Collection. Scroll down for brief, creative details, plus a COUPON CODE. I'll have clickable product links at the end of this post, as well.

I set out to make a colorful, non-traditional Shamrock card, however I also think this could double as a non-traditional card for graduation, retirement, a new job, etc. I ended up choosing some pretty patterned papers from the Scrapbook.com Joyful collection. I also used coordinating solid papers for my layered die cuts, using the word dies from from the Scrapbook.com Congrats Good Luck die set.

My shamrock die cut is also layered with another color and offset just a bit for a silhouette effect.

There's an amazing bundle right now full of several products from the Joyful collection at Scrapbook.com. There's currently a coupon code good through tomorrow, Sunday Mar.17th. Use code CRAFTY at checkout for added savings. Stop by the coupon/deals section too. As of this writing, there are a couple free add-on gifts with your purchase, including an adhesive roller and die set!

Next, my center circle was cut using the Scrapbook.com Joyful Shaped die set, Thank you. The circle die also cuts a stitched circle frame, however I didn't use it for this card.

This is an A2 sized vertical card and all of my elements are popped up on adhesive foam.

I love occasionally stepping outside the confines of traditional cardmaking when it comes to making holiday cards. At least I stuck with green for the shamrock, right?  Haha. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Terri

Shamrock Good Luck Card

Hello friends. I'm getting in touch with my Irish roots with this shamrock card today. Plus, it's National Craft Month which gives me a good excuse to break out my Brother Crafts Scan n Cut to create the images for this card. I'm also using products from Scrapbook.com Scroll down for brief creative details. You'll find products linked at the end of this post as well.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

 

I purchased my Scan N Cut a  few years ago, as a Christmas gift to myself. It's been one of the most loved tools in my arsenal. I typically cut most of my images on a blade setting of 6 for lightweight cardstock. I also generally work offline so this image is one of the standard images included in my machine's storage. No need to get on the internet! I scaled down my image to the smallest size which was about 1.5" or less and added 9 images. I touched the screen to drag the images where I wanted them and then cut.

I also used my negative template to easily line up my shamrocks on my card, popping each one of them up with a small adhesive foam square.

My sentiment was created using a Scrapbookcom exclusive stamp set called Vintage Type Upper. I used my Misti stamp positioner to stamp one letter at a time on white cardstock to spell "Good Luck". It helps to lay down a piece of low tack tape on the cardstock, such as mint tape, to easily line up your letters evenly. My solid papers are from a variety of Scrapbookcom paper pads (Jewel and Floral) and the gingham plaid was from my stash. Here's a link for you to scroll, if you'd like to check out the current gingham 6x6 paper pads offered at Scrapbookcom: Click Here

I thought this card would be great for other occasions, not typical of St. Patrick's Day; graduations and retirements came to mind.

I shared a short reel on my Instagram and TikTOK, featuring this card. I hope you'll follow me on those sites, if you're not already!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Terri

Green Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

 Welcome to the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge! It's week 2 of a brand new challenge!

Welcome to challenge #43 at DoubleClick!!

Dates: March 2 - March 15, 2016

Challenge: St. Patricks Day/Use something green

Today, I'm mixing it up with some stenciling, ink splatters and papers from Webster's Pages and Bazzill.  Really, it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that..... kind of like a big 'ole pot of vegetable soup!  Just keep throwing stuff in, haha.

The Skittle colors I'm using today are Meadow and I added a touch of glitter glue to the bottom for a little extra zing, placing my Skittles in the center of the clover and at the base of my stencil.  I adore my Skittles!  Even though, this is a great St. Patrick's day card, I also think it would make a very clever graduation card or even a retirement card or job promotion.  Anything that requires wishing someone good luck, know what I mean? 

Have you checked out all the Skittle Color choices? You can view them all HERE!

A 3 pack is typically under $4.00 (75 skittles) and this includes FREE USA SHIPPING, plus, Paypal is accepted.  You're supporting small business and products made in the USA, when you purchase Skittles.  Each batch is handmade, by Carri.

New Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

 Welcome to the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge! It's week 1 of a brand new challenge!

Welcome to challenge #43 at DoubleClick!!

Dates: March 2 - March 15, 2016

Challenge: St. Patricks Day/Use something green

For this card, I started by hand drawing and cutting out a shamrock, then tracing it onto patterned paper.   My Skittles today are Lettuce (on the button) and Grinch Green from the Holiday Traditions 2015 collection. 

You know, those Holiday Traditions Skittles translate well to other season.  For instance, I'll be using the Grinch Green and Gift Gold for spring projects, and the Rudolph Red for my nautical and patriotic projects.  That's one of my favorite things, getting the collection mixes that include multiple colors and colors that translate well for other seasons.  I always feel like I'm getting a little more bang for my buck with collections.  Know what I mean?
