St Patrick's Day Cupcake

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

 

Can you believe we are already in February? Next week is Valentine's Day and I have several more cards to make. I take them to church and let some of the guys pick cards to give to their wives. I have done this for several years and they look forward to it.

 

They have been so complimentary of my cards. I will finish up 2 or 3 more probably on Saturday. This year I made critter cards- dogs, cats, and hedgehogs. I think they all turned out so cute so I hope the guys like them.

 

But for today, I am showing a St Patrick's Day card. I made it as part of the DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. This St Patrick's Day Cupcake die is a new one from CottageCutz. I thought this cupcake image would make a great card for an Irish friend of mine. She celebrates the day with full gusto (lol)!!!

 

I started my card with the current MojoSketch #508. I though the layout would work well to not only show off the Cupcake image but also the Irish blessing.

 

I used the new cardstock shade of shaded spruce from Stampin'-Up for most of my card. And for a bit of contrast I used their emerald envy cardstock. The background designer paper is also from Stampin'-Up.

 

I used the gold coins that are part of this die set, for the narrow rectangle panel on the sketch. The Irish blessing sentiment is part of a digital set that Verve was offering for free a few years ago.

 

Well that's it for me for today. So until next time...…...God bless.
