Green Beers! ~ SOUS Die Cut Challenge March 8

TGIF, everyone!  I finally got some of my new craft room unpacked, so I'm so happy to be able to share my first project from Colorado!  YAY!  It's time for another Stuck on U Sketches Die Cut Challenge, and the challenge this time is to create a project using a die cut of a shamrock.  Here's what I came up with:

I created this fun shaped card using files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Luck of the Irish Cutting Files Set.  I mirrored the base layer of the mug above and welded the two shapes together to create the card base.  I don't know if you can tell, but the top layer of the green beer is glitter paper.  I love the sparkle it gives to the card.  The fun sentiment is from Pink by Design's Luck O' The Irish Stamp Set.  

Now, it's your turn!  Head on over to Stuck on U Sketches to see what the other wonderful Design Team members created.  Then, you can link up your own project that uses a die cut of a shamrock.  We can't wait to see what you create!

I'll be back a little later with an awesome Guest Designer.  Then, I'll have a fun sneak peek of a new Pink by Design stamp set tomorrow.  Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

What's New Wednesday #27

YAY!!!  It's time for another What's New Wednesday.  I created a fun little St. Patrick's Day/Irish themed set, and you can find it in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store.  Here it is:

This Luck of the Irish Cutting Files Set includes .SVG, .DXF, .JPG, and .PNG files.

If you're not into cutting files, you can opt to buy just the graphics in .JPG and .PNG:

Now, I have a fun little giveaway for you!  Head on over to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Facebook Page and find where I posted these new files.  If you share that post on Facebook, you'll be entered to win this set for free!  YAY!  I hope you'll try your luck. :)  I'll be choosing a winner on Friday. 

That's all I have for you today.  I'm REALLY hoping to be back on Friday with a project to share with you.  I definitely will have a Guest Designer.  Things are on their way to getting back to normal around the Norris household, so I'm hoping to get back into the full swing of crafting next week.  I can't wait! :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have an awesome hump day!

A Wee Bit of Luck

Hey, everyone!  Did you know that Pink by Design has a challenge going on right now?  All you have to do is create something St. Patrick's Day-themed or green and link it up HERE.  We'd love to see what you make, and you could win an AWESOME prize!  I couldn't help but join in on the fun, so I created a fun St. Paddy's Day card.  Here it is:

I'm not totally sure where I got this cute Irish Dancer.  She was a free svg file I found somewhere a long time ago, and I cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo.  Isn't she precious?  I stamped her face with a stamp from my Peachy Keen Princess Face Assortment. The shamrocks were left over from another project.  I wanted her background to look like the Irish flag, so I cut a green, white, and orange strip of paper and stamped them with Pink by Design background stamps.  The green one is stamped with Lace, the white one is stamped with Distressed Music, and the orange one is stamped with Damask.  I really love how it added just a bit of pattern to her background.  The cute sentiment came from Pink by Design's Luck O' the Irish Stamp Set.  I added lots of ink, some glossy accents to her shoes, and some crinkle ribbon, and my card was all done.  I really love how it turned out...I hope you like it, too! :)

Now, I REALLY hope you'll head on over to Pink by Design to join the challenge yourself.  I know we can't wait to see what you create!   Thanks for stopping by today!

Cameo Creations Challenge: St. Patrick's Day Decor

Happy March 1, everyone!  Can you believe it's already March???  This year has just been flying by, and we even had an extra day in there!  Whew!

Today is a great day for another Cameo Creations Challenge.  This time, the challenge is to create a home decor item with a St. Patrick's Day theme.  Here's what I came up with:

I created this little door/wall hanging with svgs and Silhouette Studio files.  The leprechaun, rainbow, pot of gold, shamrocks, and banner all came from the Lettering Delights Luck of the Irish Cut It Set.  The clouds came from this file I found in the Silhouette Online Store.  I created the base of the hanging by arranging the rainbow and clouds on my virtual mat in Silhouette Studio and then using the offset tool to create a shadow layer around all four shapes.  Then, I cut ten of those shadow layers out of kraft cardstock so my wall hanging would feel more like a thin wooden sign.  I glued all of the pieces together, added another layer cut out of blue patterned paper, and I had a nice, sturdy base for my wall hanging.

I used fun glitter and reflective paper for the rainbow.  I like the sparkle that it adds.

The leprechaun's tights, jacket trim, buckle, and button are also sparkly.  He is sooo fashionable!  Ha!  I stamped his cute little face with a stamp from my Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Assortment.

The gold, of course, is also glittery.  I inked all of my cuts up with my ColorBox Fluid Chalk Inks, added some doodle lines and a ribbon for hanging, and my door/wall handing was all done!  I hope you like it!

Now it's your turn!  Head on over to enter the Cameo Creations Challenge.  The only requirements are that you create a home decor item with a St. Patrick's Day theme using your Silhouette machine (any model).  Then, link it up so we can all see your fabulous creation!  Plus, you'll be entered to win a super fun prize! You have until March 15 to enter...I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!



Lucky Charm Blog Hop

Hi, there!  Welcome to the Lucky Charm Blog Hop! If you've arrived here after visiting Amy at Amy Designs, then you're in the right place. If you stumbled upon this post on my blog and want to play along with our blog hopping fun, you can start at the beginning at Cross My Heart Paper Crafts. This blog hop is all about creating something for the lucky charm in your life.  Here's what I created for my lucky charm...my hubby.

I wanted to make a fun St. Paddy's Day card for my hubby.  We usually don't do cards or anything for the day, so I thought it would be a nice surprise for him.  He'll like the irony of putting a black cat on a "lucky" card.  :o)  This card will fit in an A2 sized envelope.  I got the card base/rainbow from Hello Kitty Greetings.  The cat came from Happy Hauntings, the hat and cauldron from Simply Charmed, and the bow from Once Upon a Princess.  I added lots of ink and some stitching lines, and this little card was all done!

Okay...now how about some Blog Candy???  I'm giving away a little collection of green crafting goodies:  a green and silver chipboard alphabet, a green embellishment pack, and some pretty green ribbons.  If you'd like the chance to win these goodies, here's what you need to do:

I'm Lucky to Have You

I have a fun card to show you today that works for a few challenges that are going on right now.  Here it is:

This card measures 5.75" square.  I got the shamrocks from Give a Hoot, and all of the other cuts came from Simply Charmed.  The sentiment on the inside is computer generated.  Then, I added lots of ink, some stitching lines, a tiny button, and some Stickles to finish off the card.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Challenge #18: St. Paddy's Themed--Crafting with Christina

Challenge #81: St. Patrick's Day--Paper Cutz Challenge

Lucky to Have You--Creative Cutter Room

T.G.I.F Linky Party--Craft Junkie Too
