Hello my friends! This week's Make It Monday project is all about St. Patrick's Day.  It's coming up soon and I wanted to share a little luck with you!


Supplies You'll need:

  • Stitched Be Mine dies (smallest scallop heart)
  • Beautiful Bouquet Stamps & Bouquet Bunch Dies 
  • Itty Bitty Greetings Stamps
  • Layering Circles Dies (2nd smallest scallop)
  • Stitched Shapes Dies (Smallest circle)

  • 4" x 5 1/4" Soft Sea Foam Cardstock Layer

Full Disclosure: In this week's Make It Monday video, I create the card with you.  But I don't create the bag.  For the bag, you can follow the same steps as with the card.



I have already done a video putting the bag together, so I didn't want to bore you with a repeat of details. :-)

If you haven't seen it before though, you can check it out here:

March 2020 KBH Theme: Color Challenge - Green Monochromatic


Good morning friends! Today, we are hopping with the Kre8tors Blog Hop!  As we're getting closer to St. Patrick's Day, I'm full onboard with our theme for March!

GREEN!!!

All of the projects on the hop are going to be GREEN!! Yaya!!  Now, If you're not a fan of this color, that's ok.  You will still see fantastic ideas and projects that you love.  Just change the color. :-)


My card features "A Little Lace" Stamp Set and Die bundle.  I have been IN LOVE with this bundle since I first laid eyes on it! It's GORGEOUS!!

I started out with a Pear Pizzazz Card base measuring 4 1/" x 11 and scored at 5 1/2" on the long side.  I cut an additional piece of Pear Pizzazz measuring 4" x 5 1/4", then used the stunning lace die to make that incredible lace panel you see at the top of the card.  The die set is just 2 pieces. The 2nd piece cuts a border (as pictured here), so I used that to cut just as much as I needed for this card. Approx. 2 1/4".  The rest I'll save for another project down the road. :-D

On a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock I used Old Olive to stamp the beautiful floral piece. I also used a scrap of white cardstock to stamp the hello sentiment, and then used the classic label punch to cut it out.


To make the centers for the flowers, I used the Gold Faceted Gems and a Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blend marker to "match" my colors.  I LOVE how our Blends can do that! SO COOL!


I used liquid glue to attach the lace piece to the top of the Whisper White panel. And then tied a length of Granny Apple Green Ribbon around the whole piece.

You can use any of the adhesives to attach the front panel to the card base. I used tear & tape because of the ribbon.


Remember that there should be NO naked insides and NO naked envelopes, so I just stamped that floral piece on the envelope and used the small coordinating stamp in the set to embellish the inside. :-)

Doing Monochromatic projects are so much fun! I challenge you to create something and share it with me in my Facebook group!

Peaceful Poppies Trio of Cards

Good morning my fabulous friends! I hope you're doing well! Today have three cute and simple cards that you can recreate easily with the Painted Poppies Bundle and Peaceful Poppies Sentiments.  :-)

The first two cards are basically the same, with only  minor differences. Both still use a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper for the front.  But the first one also has a piece of 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" piece of Basic Black tucked behind it (for dramatic effect. hehe).  In actuality, The black also has a couple holes in it because I cut the two rectangular labels for the cards, out of it.

I used our 1 3/4" circle punch for the White circle on this first card.  And then I matched it up with a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles dies, to create the red scalloped layer behind it.  The fun swirly piece came from the Painted labels dies.   


In order to get a nice layered look from the label on this card, I had to do a little fussy cutting. I cut a Black and a White label from the same die and then followed the embossed line around the edge of the white piece with scissors.  Thank you Stampin' Up for that fantastic touch to the label!


With this card, I added a bit of texture since I didn't use DSP. I used the Subtles embossing folder on the front layer of Whisper White, after I stamped the splatters in Blackberry Bliss. I also came back and made a few extra splatters with a Blackberry Stampin' Write marker.


These cards were a FREE class that I offered my customers who purchased the Painted Poppies stamp set from me in January.  I like how that worked out and have decided to do it again this month with the Honey Bee Bundle!

When you purchase the Honey Bee Bundle from me THIS MONTH ONLY (through March 31st, 2020), you'll get an exclusive Honey Bee Card Class PLUS a sampler of the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper that is now SOLD OUT and unavailable, FOR FREE!! This offer IS AVAILABLE to Online customers as well! :-D I will happily ship them out to you (Postage rates will apply).


Well, on that note, I hope you enjoyed today's projects! I always enjoy bringing you fun things to create!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!
