St. Patrick's Lucky Charm Card

Hello friends! Ericka here and today and I am creating a fun St. Patrick's Day card using the Leprechaun Sheamus and the Lucky Charms sentiment.

I stamped the image and sentiment in Versfine Clair Nocturn ink and clear embossed it. I then water colored the image with Lindy's Gang Magicals to give him a magical shimmer. After my card base dried, I used my sewing machine to attach it to some pattern paper and my card base. A fun card perfect for the upcoming holiday. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

St. Patrick's Day Two Ways~ 12 Sketches | 24 Card Challenge

Hello, and welcome back!  This is Shanna today with my second installment in my 12 Sketches | 24 Cards challenge for 2024!  In this challenge, I will make a total of 24 cards featuring various products from Crackerbox Stamps, all while featuring a different sketch inspiration each month!

This month's sketch was found on Pinterest and is a from a challenge blog that is no longer active, but still has a sketch gallery to pull inspiration from!  I loved how the diagonal background element allowed me to cut one piece of 6x6 paper and use both pieces between the two cards!  

Today's project features the following stamps:

Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock

4 Leaf Clover

Shamrock Outline

Leprechaun Seamus
Leprechaun Patrick

I added a skinny strip of metallic gold paper for both cards to help the gold embossing powder tie in and pop!  I love how well the sentiment is embossed--so pretty!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you are enjoying the series so far!

You can find the monthly post linked below with the picture if you missed my previous posts.

See you all again soon! ~Shanna

St. Patrick's Day Shaker Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a St. Patrick's Day shaker card.

To create my card, I first stamped the Leprauchan Sheamus with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. Next, I die-cut out a circle on the front panel piece of my card. Used some Scor-Tape around the backside of the panel around the circle and adhered some acetate. Above the cutout circle, I stamped the Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock sentiment. I added foam squares all the way around the circle, making sure that the spaces between each one were small enough so that the Irish Party shaker pieces couldn't fit through. I added more foam squares around the outer edges of the front card panel and adhered it to my card front. Then, I adhered the Leprauchan Sheamus to the front of my card.

STAMPS USED:
Leprauchan Sheamus
Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock
Irish Party Shaker Elements

OTHER CRACKERBOX STAMPS PRODUCTS:

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

VersaFine Clair in Nocturne

Scor-Tape

St. Patrick's Day Wish Card

Hello Stampers, Vicky here today to share a St. Patrick's Day wish. Isn't this a sweet saying? I also love the dancing leprechaun that is filling up the gold cauldron.

Stamps Used:

Leprechaun

Wishin' Pot O'

Coins

St. Patricks Card by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with a St. Patrick's card combining several stamps from our store. Let me share the card:

To create this card, I used a whisper white piece of cardstock. I sprayed it with Fireworks in green tones and a few touches of Dandelion. I let the paper dry naturally before stamping the Shamrock Open in different places of the lower part. I used New Sprout Fireworks and a pencil to color them.

Additionally, I stamped the Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock sentiment on the upper corner, using VersaFine Onix.

I pasted the decorated layer over a textured green card base using Crafty Foam Tape and set this piece aside for a while. Then, in a separate piece of smooth white cardstock, I stamped the Leprechaun Patrick and colored it with Memento Markers. I fussy cut the image with scissors and pasted over the decorated card with 3D Foam Squares.

Stamps Used:

Shamrock Open

Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock

Leprechaun Patrick

The first ATC is for St. Patrick's Day. I know that is tomorrow, so Happy St. Patrick's Day! I made a couple of these and already handed some out to a couple of cashiers. They were surprised and happy to get it. I used May Your Blessings saying and Shamrock Solid Sm. and the Shamrock Open. It is mounted on green card stock.

I am getting some Easter ATC's ready to hand out. I used the Bunny Hugs saying at an angle and also the Bunny Hug image. Just a little coloring and it's done!

Life Is Better With A Good Friend St. Patrick's Day Card

Hello! This is Shanna today from Caffeinated Craftiness! I am sharing another fun St. Patrick's Day inspired card featuring one of the new Leprechaun stamps, Leprechaun Sheamus.

This guy was so much fun to color!  I used a no-line coloring technique with my Copic markers to color him in.  The general principle of this technique is to stamp the stamp in a pale ink color, or an ink formulated for no-line coloring, and color as if you were drawing the image.  The end result looks more realistic, without a black or dark outline.  It is a fun way to stretch my stamps and my creativity because it allows different looks from the same stamp!

I chose to go fairly clean and simple for this card and used a little bit of green ink blending and a stencil from my stash to add some interest behind him.  My sentiment finished off the card.  Life is Better is a sentiment that works with ANY image and is a favorite in my stash for sure!  I chose green ink to keep the color palette the same without adding black.

That finishes up my project today!  I hope it leaves you inspired.

Friends Are 4 Leaf Clovers Card

I hope you are all doing well and had a great weekend. Ericka here with a fun St. Patrick's Day card using the new Friends Saying with the 4 Leaf Clover. I love this sentiment and it's perfect for any St. Patrick Day loving friend.

 This card was fast and fun to make. I started with Bristol Smooth paper I had in my stash with some embossing paste on it. I then took Dylusions green shimmer spray and misted my paper. After my background was dry, I used the Friends Saying and stamped it in black ink.

 

I then stamped the Shamrock Open and the 4 Leaf Clover in black ink randomly on my background. I used my green sparkle pens to color in the clovers for a shimmer look. I then stamped two 4 Leaf Clover on separate paper and cut them out to attach to the background with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Pot O' Gold Treat Box

Hello everyone!  It's Marcia on the blog today sharing another shaped treat box for St. Patrick's Day. (If you missed my previous post Hug My Shamrocks Beer Mug Box, hop over and take a peek.)

Supplies used:
Wishin' Pot O'

As soon as I saw this sentiment, I knew I wanted to pair it with either an image of a pot of gold or a favor box/bag. I considered using it with the Cauldron stamp like I did in my Blessings Out Number Shamrocks card. But, since I was in the 3D box mood, I used another SVG file from SVGCuts called Pot O' Gold and created this adorable treat box/bag. I used (very bendy) gold floral wire for the handle, purchased from Dollar Tree. You could just as easily embellish plain or decorative gift bags with the Cauldron stamp and add this sentiment as well. As with my card mentioned above, I lightly inked the sentiment tag with a shamrock stencil in my stash and added it to the handle with a bit of twine. I may have said several naughty words trying to get this sucker to sit still for a picture. LOL,  It's very roly-poly and perfect for treats.

St. Patrick's Day Slimline Card

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with a card and with a question,  Are you ready for St. Patrick's Day?  If you aren't, here you can find some inspiration to create your cards and celebrate the lucky day!

The base of my card is white smooth card stock and the second layer is a piece of old olive card stock. This layer is the perfect frame for the detailed third layer. It is one of the dies included on the Loopy Rectangle Mini Slimline Dies...yes...my favorite detailed die cuts! But I told you, I have them in all the sizes and shapes! I stamped the Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock on the top part of the diecut layer with VersaFine Onix. Additionally, I colored the Shamrocks with green TriBlend Markers. Then, in a separate piece of white smooth card stock, I stamped the Shamrock Open and the Leprechaun Patrick. All these stamps were released in the same collection. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I colored the images with TriBlend Markers and fussy cut with scissors. Then, to finalize the card, I arranged all the stamps with 3D Foam Squares and pasted the decorated layer over the card base with 3D Foam Strips.

Are you ready for St. Patrick or what are you planning to do?

If you want to see all the products that I used to create this card, you can find them HERE in my STAMPARTPAPEL BLOG.

See you soon with more!

Hug My Shamrocks Beer Mug Box

Hello everyone!  It's Marcia on the blog today sharing a shaped treat box for St. Patrick's Day.

Supplies used:
Leprechaun Patrick
Hug My Shamrock

I love how large this leprechaun image is so I wanted to incorporate him into a larger project. I watercolored him with brush markers and fussy cutout. Then, I constructed this super fun beer stein treat box using the Beer Mug cut file from SVGCuts, embossing the beer foam with an older snowfall embossing folder. You could also very easily create a stein-shaped card as well by tracing out the shape onto paper and fussy cutting. To embellish the box, I added our leprechaun and sentiment, gold embossed into a word bubble. Lastly, fill with all the goodies! If you missed my other St. Patrick's Day project, you can find it here: Blessings Out Number Shamrocks.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Card

Hello and welcome!!  This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness with a fun new card featuring Crackerbox Stamps today!  I absolutely adore the newest Leprechaun stamps that were released this month and couldn't wait to color this guy up!

Today's card features the Leprechaun Patrick stamp.  He was a lot of fun to color up---today I colored him using Copic Markers.  I had a scrap of Doodlebug St. Patrick's Day paper and decided I wanted to use it on my card.  I cut a card base from green cardstock, then added a scrap of patterned paper.  I needed another patterned paper to complete my design so I grabbed the Shamrock Outline stamp and some green ink and made my own!  Using smaller stamps to create a background pattern is a favorite technique of mine!  

I fussy cut out the leprechaun and then stamped my sentiment - Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock - directly onto the shamrock stamped paper.  I colored in the shamrocks belonging to the sentiment using gold and green Nuvo drops for dimension.  Lastly, I adhered the leprechaun and the card was complete!
