Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

 Hello, Janet here with a quick and easy Saint Patrick's Day card for a friend.

I stamped the to go coffee cup with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a scrap piece of white cardstock. It is colored with Copic markers and cut out. A coffee cup sleeve is made by cutting brown corrugated paper to fit the cup.  Next, using the shamrock stamp, I randomly stamped Shamrocks on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They are colored with copic markers. Using a royal texture stipple brush, I added green speckles to the cardstock. The stamped cardstock is layered on green clover-designed paper. That is then attached to the front of the card.  The coffee cup is placed in the center of the card. Happy St. Pat's Day is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and then die cut. I placed it at an angle in the top right corner.

Kraft Cardstock Glow-Up

 Hi Everyone, Dalis Here!

Kraft cardstock can be a little sneaky. It drinks in color and sometimes leaves your pencils looking like they forgot their vitamins. But every crafty curveball has a workaround.

Years ago, I learned a tiny trick that feels almost like a primer for paper. Lay down a soft layer of white colored pencil first. Just a light base. Nothing heavy. Then add your colors on top. Suddenly, those shades pop like they packed a suitcase full of sunshine. 🌈

Look at how vibrant those colors turn out! And the best part? It takes very minimal coloring to get that brightness. No overworking, no muddy blends. Just smooth, controlled layers doing their thing.

I kept this card simple on purpose. Clean layout. Classic feel. Let the technique be the star. Sometimes kraft plus a whisper of white is all it takes to turn tricky into terrific

Supply List:

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Wishing You The Best

What could be better than being rich and having joy in your heart?

I started with a green card base. I layered it with shamrock pattern paper that I cut using a deckle trimmer. Next I stamped and colored the lady from the Coffee 2 stamp set and the hat from the Minion 1 using alcohol markers. I stamped the Wishin' Pot O' sentiment on white paper, and layered it on top of some gold specialty paper. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Friendship St. Patrick's Day Card

 Hi Stampers. Vicky is here today to share a St. Patrick's Day card for a fun friend.

I stamped the saying, Friendship Must Be Built, and Leprechaun Sheamus.

I made a mask for Sheaums. Isn't he just the cutest Leprechaun?

Towards the bottom, I put a piece of Washi tape and used a stencil for the rocks. After I removed the stencil, I brushed a lighter brown ink over the stones.

I also used a stencil for the upper part of the card and just went around the saying.

The last thing I did was I added the 3 embellishments, Irish Party Shakers.
