We're all Irish on St. Patty's Day!

Good Morning!

Melisa here this morning to share a St. Patrick's Day card with you.   

I used the Scalloped Circles Cutting Files for my card base.  The circle is from the Layered Labels 1 Cutting Files.  The sentiment shape is from Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files.  And the adorable little Leprechaun is from the Little Leprechaun Cutting Files.  

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's I believe in Leprechauns Stamp set.  

Have a great rest of the week!

Don't forget to join us for the Get Cookin Blog Hop this weekend.

Be good to yourself!

Good Morning!

Hope you are having a great week.  I have a fun card to share with you today.  I made it for a friend who recently had surgery.  I thought it would cheer her up.  

To make my card I used the Star Spangled Card Cutting Files. I sized it to 5.50 x 5.50 to make it the square shape.    The flourish is from the Flourishes 2 Cutting Files.  It is free until Thursday night.  The scalloped circle is from the Scalloped Circles Cutting Files.  The Scalloped Border is from the Borders 2 Cutting Files. 

Don't forget that there is the NEW Trick or Treat Challenge going on right now. 

Have a great week!

4th of July Layout

Good Morning!

I can't believe that it's already July.  Time sure does fly once the kids are out of school.  With 4th of July a couple of days away I thought I would get ahead of the game and make a layout.  

The circle is from the Scalloped Circles Cutting File.  The title is from the Fourth of July Titles Cutting Files.

The firework is from the Fantastic Fireworks Cutting File.  The twine is from The Twinery, it's called Midnight Blue.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a safe 4th of July.

I'll drink to that!

Good morning bloggers! Jeanne here, from Jeanne's Paper Crafts, with another design team project to share with you!

For today's project I decided to make a circle card with the Scalloped Circle cut files. I LOVE using a circle shaped card, but I find that I don't make too many of them. :) I think this one turned out great!

These super cute drinks are from the Happy Hour cut files. 

For the glasses, I cut an extra base layer out of some PaperTrey Ink Clear cardstock, and then added the drinks on top of it.  I didn't like the way the adhesive was drying, so I figured this would work just fine.

I chose the "I'll drink to that," sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Let's Toast stamp set. It matches perfectly with my funny little drinks!

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Simply Chartreuse cardstock
PaperTrey Ink Clear cardstock
My Mind's Eye Collectable Notable 6x6 paper stack
Core'dinations
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Scalloped Circles
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Happy Hour cut files
Jaded Blossom Let's Toast
Neat & Tangled Sequins
Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Let's meet up for adult beverages!

Good Morning!!

Melisa from Melisa's Crafty Creations here with you today.  I don't know about you, but it's hard to find time to go out with my girlfriends.  Sometimes it's our schedules that are keeping us from getting together, other times it's not being able to find a babysitter for our kids.  So I thought I would make a card to send to her so we can plan a girls night out soon.   

The card base is made using the Scalloped Circles Cutting File.  The patterned paper was cut using the Doilies Cutting File.  I selected the image, then I selected "Release Compound Path".  After that I moved my main image and deleted the rest of the inside of the shape.   The sentiment shape is from the Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting File.  The twine is Seaweed from The Twinery.

The Margarita is from the NEW Happy Hour Cutting File.  I used Glossy accents on the lime, stem of the margarita glass as well as the salt on the rim.  I wanted salt to have some texture to it so I let it dry a little bit and then took a needle and started poking the salt with the needle.  I did that while blowing on it to help get it to dry faster.  You could also use glitter for the salt but I end up making a huge mess when I use glitter.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Some Days Simply Require stamp set.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great day!!
