    St. Patrick’s Day Cards

    I just wanted to pop in to show a couple of St. Patty’s Day cards that I made for a few people.  The first one is called a screen card, it stretches out like one of those old timey curtains.  It was a simple one because I used a lot of stickers on it. The first picture is how it looks closed and second one shows it stretched open.

    For the second card I wanted to use a leprechaun’s hat and bow tie with a whimsical mustache.

    Now this last item is a little leprechaun cut file from Lia Griffith.  On some of them I added a bag of gold coins and on others I put just one chocolate.  Cute and simple and I know the recipient will love him also!

    Birthday Piano Card in a box and Sunburst card

    I loved how this card turned out and I know it made my sister very happy.  I have a picture of her dancing to the song.  What makes this such a unique thing is that I added a QR code to the back, which then plays a happy birthday song on your phone, if you have a smartphone.

    Along with my sister’s birthday, my son has his birthday on the same day, so here is his card.  I added enough room where I could put a gift card on the front or on the inside.

    Love Heart Gears and Cutout Happy Valentines Day

    I had this die that I just loved that is gears in the shape of a heart so of course I needed to make a card with it. If you don’t know me very well I collect hearts,  I have always loved them and I am always drawn to them in any shape or form.   I even have a rock shaped like one.  Enough getting off the topic,  I added the word love on top in black and it just didn’t pop so I changed it out for the while love.  The inside was a scrap from cutting out letters for another project and I used that for the sentiment.
