MM11: Happy St. Patick's Day

It's a mean, green, Pusheen Mandala Monday, as my favorite Irish-American* kitty and I wish you a very Happy St. Patrick's Day, in stickers! 

*Pusheen's name is an easier-to-pronounce version of the word puisín, which means kitten in Irish.

So Lucky

Today I'm feeling extra lucky to be on the Ranger Project Tutorials Page, showing off (step-by-step) how I used a rainbow of Ranger Embossing Powders with some fab Simon Hurley create Background Stamps, accented with coordinating shades of Archival Ink plus the golden glitter of Stickles and a few dozen four-leafed (four-heart!) clovers to create a card that is over-flowing with Good Luck. I'd love for you to HOP OVER and check it out! ♥

Wendy Vecchi Clover All Over Card

I'm up on the Ranger Project Page, going green the week before St. Patrick's Day, with Wendy Vecchi's MAKE ART Stamps, Stencils, Dies, Chippies and (of course!) Archival Inks. I'd love for you to hop over and read all about it!

Wendy Vecchi Lucky Clover Card

Erin Go Bragh! Saint Patrick's Day comes once a year, but we can (and should!) celebrate our exceptional good luck in having wonderful friends and family all year long! Today, I'm very happy to be back on the Ranger Blog, creating a green (and clovery!) all-occasion card featuring Wendy Vecchi's MAKE ART Chippies, Stamps, Stencils and Washi Tape; I'd love for you to join me there!

Going Green!

It's the day before Saint Patrick's Day, so this seems like a good time to "Go Green" with two styles of Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape (Green Pattern Tape and Green Dot Washi) and a scattering of Round Sequins; not to mention a green Paper Flower that's been cut apart into two-petal sections and pieced back together into the shape of a four leaf clover! 

Wishing you a very Happy Saint Patrick's Day, and good luck all year long!

When Irish Frogs Are Smiling

Sunday is St. Patrick's Day and since I happen to be about 60% Irish, here are a couple of timely cards, all dressed in green, featuring our adorable Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads!

By now I expect everyone knows that premade journal cards are my very favorite cardmaking "secret" so it's no surprise that I have employed them here. These particular ones happen to be from Doodlebug Design; I love their clear bright colors. I changed the "Happy" to "Hoppy" on the sentiment flag with the help of a green jewel brad, and added a handsome pair of Frog Brads as well as one of the cattails and waterlillies which come in the same set. A green Heart Enamel completes the little scene.

For my second card, just a single Frog Brad, a few purple Heart Enamels, and a strip of Stripe Tape trimmed with some Skinny Glitter Tape.

I hope all of my Irish friends will enjoy a very Happy St. Patrick's Day... but then EVERYBODY is Irish on March 17th! ♥
