You're my Pot of Gold!

Deanna here with another inspirational post for the CardzTV Gallery blog.  Here is what I have for you today.

I started with a piece of white card stock cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  Next I layered the shamrock patterned paper on the card. It was cut at 4" X 5 1/4".  I then took another piece of white card stock and cut it to 3 3/4" X 2 3/4".  Finally I took a piece of green plaid card stock and cut it to 3 1/2" X 2 1/2".

My images are from the Simply Charmed cartridge.  I slightly layered the leprechaun over the end of the rainbow to give him the appearance of jumping out of the pot of gold.  I then flattened my images to make them a print and cut. I cut them at 3 1/4".  I assembled my layers and adhered the smaller panel to my card base with foam tape.  I then adhered the images to the plaid layer with more foam tape.

I stamped my sentiment using the CardzTV St. Patrick's Day stamp set.  I die cut the sentiment out with a small speech bubble die and adhered it to my card and the card was finished.

I hope you got some inspiration from this project and will join in the weekly challenges.

CardztTV 3-D St, Patrick's Day Challenge

It is time for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV,  The Challenge this time is to make a 3D St. Patrick's Day treat holder or box.  This is what I came up with

I made this little Shamrock Basket and it couldn't be quicker and easier to make.  I used St. Patrick's Day paper from Doodlebug for the basket. It is from the Silhouette store and I cut it at the default size.

Once you cut the main basket out, you then can cut the handle, shamrocks, and the little side piece  and the patterned paper to cover all the sides of the box.  Those have to be glues on. What makes this so quick and easy to assemble is that the box folds up and everything is held in place by a brad place through the sides  To make it a bit easier on myself I did glue the big and small Shamrocks together as well as lightly tacked the handle to behind the shamrocks.  The two darker green shamrocks do need to be adhered down.  So this is super quick and easy to mass produce.

I then filled the basket with some iridescent green Easter grass and loaded the basket with the Pot of Gold (in this case gold covered chocolate coins). Stamped my sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and punched it out with a circle punch and adhered it to the handle with a glue dot.

Now it is your turn.  Show us what you will make for this new challenge.  And please feel free to leave me a comment, I enjoying reading them.  I would love it if you wanted to become a follower as well.

Mary over atCardzTV will be giving away a free set of stamps to someone who participates in this challenge and she just got in some new sets!! So hurry on over toCardzTV and link your project up.

Luck O' the Irish Card

Just Buggin has a challenge going on to make something green for St. Patrick's Day. Here is what I came up with. It was a lot of fun to make. The card base is from the A Child's Year cricut cartridge and was cut at 5 1/2" and will fit an A2 envelope. I used some Core'denations  Gemstone card stock for the card base. The hat is also from A Child's Year and was cut at 2 1/2". I put a piece of green card stock behind the hat band and the shamrock in the hat and then to give them some bling I used some lime green stickles. The ribbon is from a small Martha Stewart pack that I picked up at Big Lots. The stamp is a dollar stamp I got at Craft Warehouse. The tag that I stamped the sentiment on I cut also from A Child's Year. I re sized it with my Gypsy to fit the stamp. The hat is attached with foam tape to pop it up. Thanks for looking.
