  • Did you even KNOW that Stampin’ Up! has a shamrock stamp?!? Me either. They hid it in the Amazing Life stamp set. Just one little shamrock, but how cute is it?
  • I’ve mentioned my lack of enthusiasm for St. Patrick’s Day green, which in Stampin’ Up! colors is Garden Green, but Granny Apple Green? Yum!! I’m in love with how vibrant it is against black and white, it really pops!

  • Do you love this card? Me too! I got in a hurry with my photo editing and used the watermark that says this is an original design by me, but in actuality, we must thank Jamie from Stamp It Up with Jaime for her lovely design! I love the shade of green she chose as well as the nod to St. Patrick’s Day as I can use it at any time of the year. And there are lots of reasons we would want to wish someone good luck right? 🙂
  • Lots of things popped up today! I stamped the sentiment twice, fussy cut the work luck out, and then popped it up on dimensionals. I colored the shamrock with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends, fussy cut it out as well, and popped it up on dimensionals too! And the die cut circle? Yup! How about the polka dotted paper layer? Yup, yup, yup, dimensionals everywhere. This card is going to cost me a fortune to mail!!  🙂 🙂 🙂

  • Did you ever do something to a card that you wish you hadn’t? That’s me right now. I added a cute little trio of circles to the inside sentiment, regretted it immediately, and added more in an effort to compensate. Now I feel like my card has the chicken pox! lol

      Ah well, I’m going to blame my distracted-ness on the turmoil that is all over the news. I’m torn between wanting up-to-the-second updates on what is happening in the world and burying my head in my pillow and blocking it all out. So I finally turned the TV off and I think I’ll just keep on craftin’ instead!

      Stay safe and healthy my peeps!! XX
