It's time to hop along with the Global Stamping Friends March Blog Hop and this month our theme is "Time Marches On". As Spring approaches there are so many wonderful events to celebrate which means so many new projects to create. Our small but mighty Design Team will be sharing their wonderful projects to help get you in the spirit to create your own wonderful projects to celebrate the new season.
For my card, I decided to create a fun St Patrick's Day themed design. I love being able to play with the different greens that Stampin' Up! has to offer and for this design I chose to use Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. St Patrick's Day is very popular here in Colorado and we have a parade and celebrations to celebrate the day when everyone is Irish. I decided to incorporate the celebration with the traditional shamrock design to create a fun, clean and simple design.

I chose to use the Circle Sayings Bundle for the sentiments for the focal design and sentiment label. I used the coordinating 2 3/8" Circle Punch from the bundle to punch out the stamped Celebrate circle and layered it onto a Shaded Spruce circle I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To create the shamrock in the center, I punched out 4 of the small hearts from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Bee Builder Punch and arranged them in the center of the circle. I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker to draw in the stem. For the sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce Classic ink and die cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I framed it with the Granny Apple Green Label cut in half and attached to the ends on the back of the sentiment label. I attached the designer series paper card front to the card base and then added the focal image and sentiment to the card front to create the design. To complete the card, I added several of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to add a touch of bling. The Pretty Peacock gems are a close match to the Shaded Spruce and help finish off the design. I love how fun and fresh this card design looks and I think it's a great way to help brighten someone's day.

Great card, Tricia! I really like these green colors together. My maiden name is Glenn so I am partial to anything Irish. Thanks for sharing this!💕
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan. It was fun playing with the different greens and I love how the hearts made the perfect shamrock.
DeleteI love all the green coordination going on, and those little tinsel gems are the icing on the cake! You are so brilliant to use those greeting images for a St. Patrick's Day card...without really needing to specifically say it. Thanks for sharing :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Kimberley. I love how everything coordinated to create this fun design. I think it would be perfect for a March birthday around St Patrick's Day.
