Good day! 

Happy St. Patricks day! Wishing you all the luck of the Irish for you today 🙂 

I don't make St.Patty's day cards, but I do have some green to show you today! 

How To Make It:

1.    From your Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut four leaves using the Botanical Builders Framelits set. Cut one fern, one feather and two medium leaves. Once cut, stamp leaf details on to pieces then dauber around their edges with Old Olive ink.  For the more detailed Leaf like the ferny type leaf you may like to use the Die Brush & Mat (140603) for easy removal. 
2.    Randomly stamp the medium and feather leaf backgrounds around the left hand and bottom edges of your small square of Sahara Sand in Pear Pizzazz Ink. Stamp leaf details on top in Old Olive Ink.  Dauber around the edges of this piece first in Pear Pizzazz and then in Old Olive. 
3.    Using Always Artichoke Ink stamp sentiment from Watercolor Wings Stamp set in the top right of the layer.
4.    Adhere your two medium leaves and feather leaf to the layer on the left approximately 1” from the bottom using Glue Dots. 
5.    Wrap your Linen Thread around your layer three times and tie in a knot at the back of the layer. 
6.    Adhere your fern type leaf on top of the linen thread on the left to keep it with the other leaves. 
7.    Using more Linen thread. Fold it over three times and thread through two of the holes on the silver button and tie in a knot at the front. Adhere your button over the leaf bases with 2 or 3 glue dots (you don’t want it falling off!)
8.    Score Sahara Sand Base Card at 4 1/8", fold and burnish.  Adhere Always Artichoke piece with Dimensionals.
9.    Adhere top Sahara Sand layer to Always Artichoke Layer with Dimensionals

Hello! 

With Easter coming soon, I thought I would show you this cute Easter card! It uses the Easter Lamb stamp. 

How To Make It: 
1.    Before attaching stamp to wood block, carefully trim between lamb and greeting and then you can mount the greeting to the side of the wood block to use it separately. Alternately, mount the stamp as is and use a post-it note to cover up the parts you don't want to ink and then remove post-it note before stamping the images separately.
2.     Stamp Lamb with Basic Black Archival Ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock and punch with circle punch, use trimmer to square off the bottom (take off approximately 3/8") 
3.    Stamp Greeting on White and cut out with Banner Label framelit. 
4.    Add small bits of color to lamb image using Pink Pirouette ink and blender pen. 
5.    Add Chalk Marker swirling it over body and head to soften the look
