Irish Dancer

Hi everyone, we are getting a little bit of winter this weekend, while I look out at the azalea blooming. I hope this cold snap doesn't kill all the flowers.

For my card this week I went with a slider card so my little Jazz Dancer could dance across. 

I colored and fussy cut the Jazz Dancer. For the background I stamped the Shamrock Background   with Versa Mark Ink then the Get Your Irish On was gold embossed.

When you pull the tab that was stamped with the Shamrock Background and gold embossed the little Jazz Dancer movers across the card. the brown strip was stamped with the Wood Grain Background. and Coco ink. The Irish Good Luck Circle was gold embossed and fussy cut.

Have a wonderful day,

Shamrocks

It's really starting to feel like spring here the flowers are blooming, the birds are back and the squirrel are playing.

So I thought I would show a ST. Patrick's Day card.

I started by stamping the Tall Shamrocks and coloring with Zig Clean Color markers. Then I stamped the Four Leaf Clover  and the One Line St. Pat's Day Greeting these were also colored with the Zig's. For the background I used the Zigs then die cut but didn't remove all the little pieces.

The lay out is from Splitcoast Card sketch.

Have a wonderful day,

Lucky Charms and Shenanigans

Hi all, this weeks DRS designs challenge is Lucky Charms.Use something you consider your Lucky Charm.

I have always thought 4 leaf clovers were lucky. I remember as a child laying it the grass on a warm summers day looking for them. a Once I found my treasure I would press it in a book.

To make my charm I used the Silhouette Clover  and Memento Cottage Ivy ink then I covered it with Versa Mark and clear embossing powder, I did three layers of the embossing powder.

For the card front I used the Shamrock and Shenanigans Greeting  five different Memento Inks were used to stamp the greeting. The Labels Eighteen was used to cut out the greeting, then I traced around the outside edge and fussy cut the green layer. For the background I stamped the Tall Shamrocks and colored with Copic markers.

Join us in this Lucky challenge.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Button Challenge

Spring is so near the birds were singing this morning and the first of the daffodils have bloomed little spots of sunshine on a other wise gray morning. I am so ready for the warmth of spring and to start working in the garden.

Today the new challenge at DRS designs is buttons. This is a easy one, I hope all of you will join us.

I chose to make a very simple card for this challenge. I stamped the Irish Inventory with Memento Hunter Green then layered it with yellow and green card stock. For the printed background paper I used watercolor paper and the Celtic Knot that I embossed with white embossing powder. Thin using different shades of green and yellow I covered the paper. I was so happy the the final results I hated how much was covered. Adding another layer of green then a yellow card. To finish the card I added three buttons with yellow embroidery floss that I tied in knots. 

Please join us in the easy challenge.

Shamrocking

Hi all, Wow it has been a cold week here in the south and I was sure spring was just around the corner. But it's early yet and spring will be here soon. This week I have another ST. Patrick card.

 For this card I stamped the Shamrockin Day Greeting  and colored with Copic markers. I used a circle die to cut out the image and layered it onto a scalloped circle. Dimensional glue was used on the scallops then covered with green glitter. For the Background I stamped the Polka Dot Background stamp with green ink onto white paper then I stamped the Large Original Plaid at a angle with the same green ink onto green card stock. I added the green ribbon with knot layered over the top. You can see how to make the knot  Here. I added a strip of punched white lace to the bottom of the green strip.

For the back I added a green strip then I stamped the Celtic Knot and the Script Hand Stamped.

If you have any questions I will be glad to help just leave a comment.

Have a wonderful day,

I use brushable glue to add gold glitter to the pot of gold.This was layered on a green die cut. I stamped the Shamrockin Day Greeting with peeled paint  and used the distress markers the color the clovers. I traced inside a die with a glue pen then added the gold glitter.

Stone Infinity Carving

I know spring is on it's way I'm starting to see small signs. There are more birds and squirrels and the daffodils are up. And I know my friends in the north will be happy to see it's arrival. And I'm ready to spent some time outside. But for now I will stay in and stamp my heart out.

                                         On to my card. 

I love the new Infinity Shamrock . When ever I see these Celtic knots I all ways associate them with carving in stone. That is what I was trying to achieve here. I started by cutting three ovals and gluing them together. When they were dry I rubbed some Versa Mark ink not covering the entire services then covering with Platinum embossing powder. I repeated this trying for a uneven services then I sprinkled in some black and verdigris  embossing powder. While it was still hot I inked the Infinity Shamrock with Brillance Graphite Black ink and stamped into the embossing powder creating this recessed image. When it cooled I rubbed on some Memento London Fog and Olive Grove.

I stamped the Irish Blessing on green card the edges were sponged with Antique Linen ink and added some black corners and a black card.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

I'm so Lucky

I'm back with a new DRS designs challenge this week it's Office Supplies. Join in the fun to win a ten dollar store voucher. You get to pick what stamps that you want.

I started by stamping the Shamrock Circle. I used Copic markers to color the image and Spellbinder die to cut out the image with the image still in the die I sponge on Antique Linen Distress Ink. I used the circle cut from the center to stamp the Tiny St. Pats Day  then cut with a smaller circle die. The New Lucky To Have You Greeting was sponged while still in the die layered onto green card stock and a paper clip with ribbon was added to the corner.  Now for the background  I was watching Downton Abbey ( my favorite show) I noticed the men were wearing tweed and I thought that would make a great background for a Irish type card. So this is what I came up with. I used brown ink and the Lines O'Plenty Background stamping in different directions. Then I used the Splatter Background first green ink stamping off once then just randomly stamping the background I did the same thing using white ink.

Join us in the fun,until next time,

Janett

Everthing Irish

Good morning everyone, today I wanted to share a little luck of the

Irish with you. My card today is a Telescoping card.

I used the spellbinder circle die and the lacey circle die.

From ivory card stock I cut 3 circles in different sizes. From green

card I cut 2 circles to mat behind the largest and the smallest circle.

On the smallest circle I stamped Swirly-Shamrocks in green ink.

Then use brown ink to stamp Irish-On-Greeting. Using Distress Ink


in Antique Linen, I sponged around the edges with the circle die 

still in place. Layered onto the green card that was cut with the

Lacey Circle. On the middle circle I stamped Everything-Irish, and

colored with copic markers, leaving the die in place I sponged the

edges. On the largest circle I stamped An-Irish-Blessing and

sponged the edges. This was layered onto a green circle cut with the

lacey circle die. Poke a hole in the bottom of the smallest circle, in

the top and bottom of the middle circle and the top of the largest

circle. Add brads.
