Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hi friends!  Today, I am sharing a fun St. Patty's Day card that I created using the new Artful Angel Leapin' Leprechauns stamp set!   

When I saw this little bugger peeking to the side, I knew that I wanted to make a book fold card with him on the edge that doesn't open. 

I got to work coloring him along with a bunch of shamrocks with Copic markers and cut them out. 

I remembered that I had some St. Patty's themed paper from Sonoran Desert Crafts that would be a perfect match, so I pulled it out and added it to the opposite panel. 

I arranged the sentiment stamp in my Misti to make it arch and I heat embossed it.  I made a green and white bow that I applied sideways on the card front and then popped the sentiment up on foam dots. 

St. Patrick's Day is the day that my mom found out that she was pregnant with me, so it has always been a special day for us.  I was 100% thinking of her when I made this card! 

I hope that you love this little fella as much as I do!

You're My Lucky Charm!

 Hi friends!  It is release day over at Artful Angel and we are celebrating with a fun Instagram Hop! 

On Saturday, I was sneaky like a ninja, and I crashed the latest Crafty Fun with Friends episode.  I wasn't sure if I would make it or not, and I am so glad that I did!  We had a BLAST crafting together and with those of you that joined us in the chat! 

I created this fun card using the new Leapin' Leprechauns stamp set while we were live.  It is actually one of two cards that I made, but you will have to wait to see the second card! 

I colored up this goofy leprechaun with Copic markers and cut him out.  I also die-cut a rainbow using a die from my stash.  I wanted him to be sitting on his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because why not!?!? 

I also tried a technique I have never used.  I used a stencil in my stash to emboss the green background.  I didn't even know that was a thing, did you? 

Make sure that you check out the new release in the shop and don't forget to join us over on Instagram and hop along with us for the chance to win a prize! 

Thanks for stopping by!
