St. Paddy's Day

This week's challenge at Made Especially for You is to create a St. Patrick's Day card using twine. As always, this challenge will run from Monday to Sunday. Not gonna lie-twine makes me nervous, but I was happy with how my card turned out.

Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs and the winner will receive four non-colored images of their choice! Great prize!

Also if you enter this challenge, be sure to enter my Cricut Imagine Cartridge giveaway here! You have until March 16th! Now onto what I made-

For this card, I cut the shamrocks from my Paper Dolls Dress Up cartridge. I made two shamrocks, the first silvery one being slightly bigger than the green glittery one that I put on top. I used 3D Zots to give it a little something more. Then I tried stamping the sentiment in the middle, but the ink kept running on the paper so I made a smaller shamrock and stamped it on there. I tied the twine using a hole puncher and wrapped them around green tacks. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be actually. Hope you like it!

Til Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Happy St, Patrick's Day

Time for another weekly challenge at Made Especially for You! As always, this challenge runs from Monday to Sunday and this week was something new for me!

This week's card asks to create something using the technique of stitching whether real or faux.  Thank goodness for that- my stitching was definitely fake! Our sponsor this week is The Cutting Cafe! Our winner will receive their choice of three sets of images so go on over and check out their awesome stamps and cutting images! Hope you all will come by and join in on the fun!

Now, onto what I came up with. I was lucky enough to use one of their images and I choose a four leaf clover for St. Patrick's Day. I made this for a coworker who is indeed, Irish.I used a new Martha Stewart paper trimmer and I finally got to use some oil pastels I bought to color in the clover. Wishing you all a lucky and lovely month!
