Kiss Me, I'm Irish! :: Amanda Bodine

Hi everyone, this is Amanda and I am so excited that I get to share my project with all of you today.. So, for my project I decided to create a St. Patties Day treat bag using the Kiss Me Leprechaun, Lucky Day Shamrock , and Medium Polka Dot stamp sets ...

My treat bag is filled with almond Hersey kisses.. I just thought the gold wrapping on the kisses would be the perfect treat to go with this adorable leprechaun tag..
So for the tag I used the adorable leprechaun, sentiment, and lips from the Kiss Me Leprechaun stamp set .. Then, on the leprechaun I used the Medium Polka Dot background stamp on his hat and jacket.. Finally, I used the Lucky Day Shamrock background stamp to create a fun pattern on the tag..
How cute is his little face..

I really think this is the perfect sentiment..

The supplies I used:

* PK-297 Kiss Me Leprechaun
*PK-299 Lucky Day Shamrock
*PK-101 Medium Polka Dot
* Kraft Tag
*Colored Pencil (red)
*Marker (red, flesh, & gray)
*White Pen
*Ink
*Stickles (gold)
*Pop Dots

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you liked my project..

Scrappy hugs,
Amanda :0)

We Did It! :: Amy Crockett

Hello everyone!!  This is Amy Crockett back to share another fun post with you today.  I made this really fun card with the new Teamwork Stamp set.


I colored in the image with my Copic markers and added some white pen accents with a White Gelly Roll Pen.  I heat embossed some of the green background with the Mushroom Soup background stamp.  The path and mountains are just free cut and I dry embossed the path and added some ink for dimension.  The clouds are punched through the blue paper with some circle punches to let the white card base show through.

You want to know the best part about this card??  I used one of the Action Wobbles on it and it really brings the card to life:

How fun!!  Thanks for joining me today!!

Hugs,
Amy

Magical Masking :: Lorie Souther

Hello and happy Friday!  WOW!  We've seen so many wonderful creations from the newPeachy Keen Stamp of the Month, and  Peachy Picks Kit, and I've got another one for you.  It's Lorie here today with my most recent creation using both of the above mentioned club kits.   For this card, I used the PKSC-03 March 2012 stamp set, which is filled with the cutest little gnomes, and all kinds of little "gnomey" things to go with them.   The stump, made into a sweet little house was what I chose to work with from the set for today, and I used a masking technique to add the mushroom and flower and grass  around the bottom of the tree.
 The image was stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers, and the card stock is from this month's Peachy Picks Kit.  I even used a bit of card stock and twine from last months kit for this card.  I love that I'm finding ways to use up all of the contents of these kits, rather than hoarding them up like I tend to do.  They're so much prettier on display like this, rather than stashed away. 
Here's a little closer look.  I thought that little mushroom made the perfect chimney for this sweet little house, and I cut some puffs of smoke out of white card stock to showcase the Gnome Sweet Gnome sentiment.  The fabulous balsa wood tree, which is part of the Peachy Picks Kit was left au naturale, other than a bit of sponging on the edges with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I also inked the edges of the image panel with the same Vintage Photo colored ink.  I actually used nearly the entire piece of green lace from the kit.  I adds such great texture to this card, and is just perfect for a plush, grassy effect.  I attached it with some red line tape by scrunching it up  and sticking it to the tape as I went along the bottom of the card.  The green resin flower tucked into the faux grass is also one of the wonderful elements in this kit.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great Friday and a fabulous weekend!!  Happy Stamping!!
