Faceted Shamrock Panels

Yes! I'm still making St Patrick's Day things. Today I wanted to make something I've been thinking about for months. When I saw the Faqceted Heart die from Tim Holtz and Sizzix was going to be released in a new Vault size, I wanted to make another shamrock project out of them.
Here is the tutorial for today's Faceted Heart Shamrock Panels
Here is panel one. Remember I celebrate St. Patrick's Day as a religious holiday so I used words like grace, faith, blessed, etc in my decor items.
I added the Intertwined 3D Texture Fade and the pennats from the Vault Bunny and Chick dies.
I always just hand cut a little stem and the doily behind the shamrock is a small one from the cake decorating section at the hobby store.
This alphabet is from the Vault Hippety Hop dies.
I did find some of the retired Mini Framed Panels at Simon Says Stamp as of the publishing of this tutorial.
I added some aged to the frames with Distress Crackle Paste.
The Faceted Hearts were cut from some of the green papers in the Idea-ology Backdrops Volume 5 pack.
The mats for the words were also from the Backdrops paper.
 

 Thanks you for stopping by today! I hope this inspired you to make, even if it isn't this particular project. 

Have a creative day,

Tami

Mr. Rabbit Adventure Cards

 

While I was waiting for my Mr Rabbit Etcetera Panel to dry last week, I decided to use the time to whip together a couple of very quick cards that could be used for any time or occasion other than Easter. I think it's important to see that although some stamp sets, like Mr. Rabbit from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous, can be released for holidays or specific occasions, that they can often be used for lots of other times of the year. That was what I was hoping to show with these cards.

Here is a very quick youtube tutorial for these cards.


I hope you like this project and I want to thank you for stopping by!

Foiled Shamrocks - St Patrick's Day Series Part 3

 

For this 3rd St. Patrick's Day post in the series, was a fun experiment for me. I haven't used toner card fronts before, so I enjoyed this.

Here is my first attempt at toner card foiling. I did notice that the Deco Foil worked better than the Minc Foil. Perhaps they needed different settings, I'm not sure. The minc foil was thinner than the deco foil so that might have had something to do with the outcome. Regardless, I really enjoyed this a lot!






Thank you for watching and have a creative day,

Mr. Rabbit Etcetera Panel

Another surprise stamp release from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous! Mr Rabbit is a really fun set that can be used for much more than just sping/Easter makes. But for today's release, I chose to make an Easter Decor Panel. This was a pretty quick make and I really enjoyed the process.  

Here is the video tutorial for this panel project. Enjoy!

Love Notes Shamrocks - St. Patrick's Day Series Part 2

 

Part 2 of the St Patrick's Day series uses items I never mentioned in my intro. I have had this project in mind since the Love Notes Stamp set came out, so I wanted to slip in into the series early.  

Here is the tutorial for both of these quick little projects. 






I hope you enjoyed this use of the Love Notes Stamp. See, I told you it wasn't just for Valentine's Day! 

Have a creative day,

St Patrick’s Day - Part 1

 

Today's post is an intro and the first in the series of my St. Patrick's Day cards. Instead of sending out Christmas Cards, which I haven't done in years, I decided to send out cards during a time of the year when I'm not stressed and I can enjoy making. So I chose one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick's Day. Then I decided to make a series out of my quest to get enough St. Patrick's Day cards to send to close friends and family. 

Here is the video intro and tutorial.




Thanks for checking out the new series! I hope you enjoy it. 

Have a Creative Day,

Tami
