Luck of the Irish!

This is the last of my

St. Patrick's Day cards.

These two are for my brother and sister.

Quick and easy,

basically stamping a variety of hearts

to make the shamrocks and two different

shades of green.

I added corner lines to give some definition

as usual with me, it was an after thought 😂

The sentiment  was computer generated

and punched out using the

Oval Occasions Punch.

The stamp set is

Meant To Be

and the inks were

Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.

I used a bit of bumblebee ribbon

behind each sentiment.

Peace reigns! 

 

 

St. Patrick's Day Biscuit Box

My tutorial today is another gift for my Grandsons.

This one is a little box with a window

that holds four viscount biscuits.

biscuits which I thought was a bit much!!

You can also fill with chocolate sweets/eggs etc.

Dressed to impress for Mother's Day

This is another commissioned

Mother's day Card.

I went all pinks and lots of embossing for this one.

The stamp set is called

Dressed to Impress

and it certainly owes me nothing

as I have definitely made my money back on it!

Love this set.

I embossed and inked up the first layer.

Added a layer of melon mambo card,

another embossed layer

and then I cut out the Ornate layer frame

and used the stitched rectangle dies

to cut out the centre of it.

I stamped out loads of the flowers,

the perfume bottle and shoes.

Coloured them with blends

(melon mambo, granny apple green)

and added to the frame.

I stamped the heart from

Meant to Be stamp set

and added the Mummy

stamped using Make a Difference.

Took me a while this one

but just sat listening to some nice music

and enjoyed the moment 😁
