The rainbow colors of this card remind me of my last day of work on Friday with a class of 1st Graders. They had propped up a little box in the back of the room with a note on it: 'Pot of Gold Inside'. This little trap was to help catch a Leprechaun over break. How cute is that???Well, this card would surely attract a Little Leprechaun looking for his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I was inspired by this super cute card made by Erica Cerwin. She does rainbow colors so perfectly.
Since you never see this much color popping up on my blog, you know it was a bit out of my comfort zone...but, I enjoyed creating it and I love the colors!

Since hearts seem to make the most perfect little shamrocks, I pulled out my I {Heart} Hearts Set. With so many options, it was hard to choose, but I settled on this dotted heart image. It's also cute if you stamp another heart inside of these ones, but that's not the route that I took.
I needed something to tie everything together and this Fabric Brad does the job perfectly. I love these brads and they are a must have from the Occasions Mini. They would also be fabulous for flower centers as well.
I had already made a card with a ribbon bow, so I wanted something different. I had seen where someone had broken down the 'Got Green' sentiment and punched both images with the Jewelry Tag Punch. I tied those with my next go-to accessory: Linen Thread. I love the darker green color of this card and the simple design. Sometimes less is more ;)
This card also works perfectly for the challenge over at Stampin' Celebration. They are celebrating St Patty's Day, so if you need some last minute inspiration, check them out here. Thanks for stopping by!

This card was inspired by one of the hundreds that I have saved in my files. It was made by Julie Smith here at Paper and Such. First, I loved the colors...Secondly, the Rik Rak. This was before I had my own stash of Rik Rak and I was drooling over everyone else's.
The colors were perfect for a St Patty's Day card and the challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments. There were some elements I just couldn't make work, so I switched it up a bit. For instance, I loved her little green banner at the bottom, but I opted for just a stamped image. I think my card was already busy with ribbons and buttons, that it was just too much for me.
These shamro
cks are from the Got Treats set. I was actually amazed when I looked through all my products to see so many options I could use for this holiday. Check out your stash and see what you have hiding out ;)

Ahhhh...it feels so good to be posting...it's been too long!!! I just haven't had the time to squeeze in any creative time for myself. Luckily, with this being the week before Spring Break...there's no homework...which means I'm not tutoring after school....Yay!!A friend of mine requested some Saint Patty's Day cards. I think these are the first St Patty's cards I've ever made. I've seen different ideas over the years, so I at least had some starting points.
This card is actually very simple. I pulled out some Old Olive prints from the Autumn Spice DSP and punched out (3) hearts with the Full Heart Punch. Put together, they make the cutest little shamrock. The 'Lucky' image is from the Lucky You, Lucky Me for Knowing You stamp from the Afterthoughts Hostess Set. I just used a Stampin Marker and colored that part of the image. The font just works perfectly...love it!
Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
