With a little luck ...

Popping in with a card for Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Wanted to pass on little love and luck to my family with this cute leprechaun.

Stamps:  Lucky Me (SU)

Paper:  White, Black (SU); Vellum (Recollections)

DP:  Polka Dots (Recollections)

Ink:  Versamark; Black (Memento)

Accessories:  black embossing powder (Recollections); square & scallop die (Spellbinders); Scan n Cut (Brother); corner rounder (WRMK); glimmer gem, pop dots; Copics

Had a lot of fun creating this card.  I actually made four of them since they were pretty easy to create.  Mr Leprechaun was colored with Copics and then cut out with my Scan n Cut.  I also cut out a bunch of four leaf clovers that I put inside each card.  I'm sure they would rather it be money falling out.  Absolutely loving this machine!

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Going green ...

I've been busy making some St. Patrick's Day cards.  I don't really decorate for the day but always have enjoyed making St. Patty Day cards.  The first card was made for Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This was my first time to play with this challenge.  I will definitely be checking them out again.  Loved this simple and classy layout.

Stamps:  Lucky Me (SU), Flourish (Inkadinkado)

Paper:  White, Black (SU)

DP:  unknown...bought at Sam's

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  ribbon (Michaels), heart punch, rhinestone, dimensionals (SU), Bic markers, oval dies (Spellbinders)

 

The second card I'm posting was for a class that I taught at Michaels. I actually made this at home first and then brought it in for the customers to see as a sample.  I went to Freshly Made Sketches (#59)  and thought the layout was perfect for this stamp set.

SUO Challenge ...

One of my Pals, Carla, at Carla's Scraps, told me about this challenge and encouraged  me to participate.  So I clicked on over to SU-Only Challenges to read about it.  This was my first time to check out their site and I really liked what I found.  I will certainly be participating again!  This week the participants are to use their favorite retired SU stamp set.  Let me tell you, I have well over a hundred to choose from.  I know I really should sell some of them.

The first stamp that came to mind was the very first set I purchased ... Button Bear.  A very versatile set which is great for starting out.  I also used a few other retired sets.  My inky, and today chalky, fingers went to creating and ended with this ...

Stamps:  Button Bear (retired), Year Round Fun (retired), Lucky Me! (retired)

Paper:  Garden Green Close to Cocoa (retired), White

DSP:  Garden Green (retired)

Ink:  Black, Garden Green

Accessories:  Stampin' Pastels, rhinestones, sponge dauber, Finial Press EF, dimensionals, corner rounder

All products are Stampin' Up!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a new PPA challenge card.

Have a great day,

Pam~

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hope you're wearing your green today...don't want to get pinched.  I made a few of these cards to send to my family, unfortunately I never put them in the mail.  So, my dear brothers and family, please enjoy the card through my blog.  Sorry...  The good news, I'm ready for next year's St. Patrick's Day...yea!

I used handsome hunter ink and paper.  I sponged the edges as it was too white for my eyes.  For the clover and sentiment, I pulled out my old stamp set Lucky Me.  That is the only St. Patrick's Day set I have.  Each year I try and create something different.  So far I've been able to do that.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
