I am sharing two projects today for Spring - an Easter Card and some St. Patrick's Day treat packages! Top o' the morning to you! Today we are introducing 2 new full sized sets (Faith in Bloom, Totally Tags Spring), plus the 4 new A la Cartes (Faith, Grace, Hope, Lucky).
This fun Easter card was made with the Totally Tags - Spring Stamp Set and was designed for Apple Doodle Ink by Doug Applegate! It's a new set of tags to coordinate with the Totally Tags dies…great for all sorts of cards and treats for Easter and Spring! It Coordinates with Hello Spring and Easter Joy.
I used the Happe Easter tag image to create a "belly band" card! Have you ever made one of these? You just make a simple background card, and then jazz it up with a pretty wrap around band. You should definitely try it. I used the new Jumbo Flower Die to make my band pop! Here it is all disassembled...
That sweet striped paper is from the new My Mind's Eye Howdy Doody 6x6 paper pack. I think I could use gobs of those pastel stripes - for every project.
My second project to share today is made using the Lucky A la Carte stamp, which is from the Whimsical Wishes by Nancy McKinney collection! It's great for St. Patty's Day as well as telling someone how much they mean to you! I decided to make some fun little treat bag toppers for St. Patty's!
I found some fancy gold coins at Michael's to put inside! I colored my image with some olive green Copics and then made a gold horseshoe - and added some clear glaze to it.
Here are my Copic color choices....
Here are my supplies! The paper is from the My Mind's Eye Vanity Fair 6x6 paper pack.
Okay....that's it for today! Tomorrow is Release and Reveal Day! Be sure to come back and see all the sets and dies in their entirety...and SHOP! Here's the blog link list for today!
Oh my goodness, how sweet, Wanda! LOVE those coin treats too. . .so cute!
