Top O' The morning to ya!!

Good morning and Happy St. Patty's day!!! We thought since we are all in the green spirit and since everyone is Irish on St. Patty's day we show you a few cards that Dawn O'Sullivan and Laurie O'McCormack (not really our last names, we have to protect the innocent, but we have to be Irish today after all) did.

This first card is by Dawn. Here are her deets, "All cuts with the Silhouette, including the Leprechaun, who is a Print and Cut. Swiss dots folder for the embossing, PP from the stash. Stamps are Studio G." I love, love this little leprechaun! Such a happy old soul and the Kiss Me stamp is so cute!! Thanks Dawn!!

The next card is mine, I have to say my inspiration came from a card we received in the mail from Kate over at Small Bits of Paper, thanks Kate!!

My deets are, the pp is from a stash I had, and I had an 8x8 piece of paper and only one and I made it work for three cards. The stamped shamrocks are stamped with versamark and then I put PearlX over them. I love these little stamps, they are Dawns as well as the sentiment.






















Here is a close up of the Shamrock. I cut this from A Child's Year and I believe it was cut at 2". I outlined it in white pen, as it was hard to see on the green paper. I also used a glitter pen on the inside to make it pop. Ribbon and bling from my stash.



Thanks to Dawn for the awesome photography of the cards!!

  3. Hi Girls. These are fabulous cards, I love them both, but that Leprechaun certainly looks like a happy chappie, such a cutie.
    The Shamrock card is lovely. Great papers and design and that gold mesh ribbon really sets it off. Happy crafting.
    With love, Sandra xxx
