A Little Thumb Thing Green!

At the Hambo Hoedown this week the challenge is to incorporate scallops into your design.  I decided to make a little thumb thing for my granddaughters for St. Patrick's Day...

I used scalloped ovals and borders and Hambo's Fingerprint and Little Thumb Thing stamps. The hat stamp is from the Stampin'Up set Snow Buddies. I drew on the facial features and arms and legs. Then I attached the card front to a plastic box so it opened like a book.

 Inside I put a little thumb thing green to wear and a little thumb thing green to spend!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Luck of the Irish

Party Time Tuesdays is celebrating with the GREEN this week. The challenge is to make cards and projects that reflect St. Patty's Day. What better way to celebrate than a chance to win some green...money! I made a twisted card that holds scratch off lottery tickets.

 I used a sentiment from the Cutting Cafe file called Lucky Me on the front and a $1 stamp from the craft store inside.   I love making twisted cards. If you missed my Christmas twisted card check here. If you would like to try one, you can find an excellent how-to video by Kelly Gettelginger here They're easy to make and perfect for holding small items such as gift cards, lottery tickets, money, pictures, etc. , .   I hope the recipient of my twisted card is lucky and wins some green!

The Hoedown Flasher

This week I'm celebrating St. Patty's Day with a Hoedown Challenge to use stripes on my project. When I saw Hambo's Flasher stamp and He's Not Irish sentiment, I knew I wanted to use them to make a card for my son Andy and a few of my friends who love an off-color joke now and then. I made a joy fold card because it seemed perfect for a flasher!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lucky Me

This week the Cutting Cafe's DT is featuring two St. Patty's Day sets, Lucky Me Printable Stamp Set and the 4 Leaf Clover Shaped Card. I used Lucky Me. This set has fifteen sentiments and over 30 different clover designs, perfect for making a card for everyone. I used the friend sentiment to make a card for my BFF.

 The clover background was made using Cutting Cafe's 4 Leaf Clover Background Set. So easy,  just print the background and cut a piece the size that you need. I had enough left to make a few more cards. If you're looking for some green inspiration, hop over to the Cutting Cafe.
