SQUEAL!! As you can see there’s LOTS to be EXCITING about so let’s get to the Projects that I’ve created for today!!
I Started by Creating the Playful Leprechaun!! There are so many FUN ways to use these as well as Color Combos that you could use!! I chose to stick pretty traditional with mine today, but the possibilities are ENDLESS!! How CUTE is this Guy!!??
NEW Playful Leprechaun Die: This Mischievous Little Fellow is CERTAIN to Bring a SMLE to one and ALL this St. Patrick's Day!! The Playful Leprechaun and his Good natured Tricks will keep you on your toes while you search for his hidden trinkets and treasures!! From his Fancy Buckle-Belted Top to the tipoff his Famously Manicured Beard, this Happy Imp is the Picture of Jovial Springtime Shenanigans!! Included with this Die is a Stitching Guide that gives you a Helping Hand Seeing how the Design comes together!!
Here's a Close up look at the Hat and how I decided to Layer 2 of the Shamrocks together for a FUN 3-D Look!! I also used a Lighter Color of Felt to help make it POP more but this would be AWESOME in ANY Shade of Green!! I've used the Conifer Felt for the Hat, Sprout Felt for the Shamrocks and Inkwell Felt for the Hat Band!! Then used some Gold Metallic Vinyl for the Buckle!! These Dies are AMAZING and Die Cut like Butter!!
Here's a Look at the back of the Leprechaun!! So FUN and I LOVE the possibilities with the Color Combo options for this!! You could literally go in ANY direction with this Die Set!! I used the Peach Puff Felt for his Face and Gingersnap Felt for his Hair and Beard!! I assed some Inked Cheeks with some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink and I think this touch just really adds to the finished Design!!
Then to show that you can use these Same Die to create some Paper Projects too I created a Shaped Leprechaun Hat Mini Card, but you could create Gift Tags too!! I started by Die Cutting some Doodlebug Designs Gingham Pattern Paper and I LOVE the versatility of this Die Set!!
I used some Spellbinders Shimmer Black Cardstock for the Hat Band and in real life it really adds to the overall Design!! Then again I used some Metallic Gold Vinyl for the Buckle!! I LOVE the way the Stitching looks on the Paper!!
I also chose to use some Chunky Glitter Vinyl for the Shamrocks and again I layered 2 of them together for a FUN 3-D Look!! SQUEAL!! Then I added some Star Confetti to add to the Design and I LOVE how they finish it off!!
Then I Stamped and Embossed the "Good Luck" Sentiment on the inside of the Card using the Pretty Pink Posh Lucky to Know You Stamp Set and Embossed with some WoW Pearl Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder!! SWOON!! I used the Trinity Stamps Mini Envelope Die Set to create the coordinating Envelope and I LOVE how this turned out!!
Next I created a Set of Shaped Scalloped Heart Cards!! One just a Regular Card and the other is a Shaker Card!! SWOON!! These were so FUN to create!! Again these would be AMAZING with Felt too, but I wanted to show that you can create Cards with Paper too!! If you follow me then you KNOW Shaker Cards are one of my FAVORITE Type of Cards to make and this Card today just makes me HAPPY!!
I used some of my FAVORITE St. Patty's Day Inspired Embellishments from Trinity Stamps for the Shaker Embellishments!! I used the Metallic Gold Shaker Pop Embellishments, Clover Cluster Confetti Mix and the Cauldron Bubbles Confetti Mix!!
I've paired the NEW Celtic Heart Details Die with the Scalloped Heart Details Die to create these Scalloped Heart Shaped Cards!! I Die Cut the Shaped Cardbase, and a Scalloped Heart both from White Cardstock and then I Die Cut the Basic Heart Die from some Doodlebug Design Gingham Pattern Paper and a Piece of Acetate!! I used the NEW Celtic Heart Details Die to Die Cut the Design into the Acetate and then Die Cut a Piece of Gold Metallic Cardstock using the Detail Die!! I Stitched the Gold Metallic Detail right to the top of the Acetate Basic Heart!! Then Stitched that Piece to the Gingham Basic Heart keeping the top of the Heart Open and then I added my Shaker Embellishments and finished Stitching the Heart Closed!! These Dies make this such a FUN and EASY Card to create and the results are just AMAZING!!
Did you know that you can use the Dies to Die Cut through the Acetate Window and add your Stitched Design/Elements and then you can stitch the Base to to Heart Scalloped Base and you have a Shaker Card with NO Adhesive needed!! I used a combination of Shaker Embellishments from Trinity Stamps and I really LOVE the way this Card turned out and hope it INSPRES you to give this Design a try!!
Then I Stamped and Embossed the "Good Luck" Sentiment on the inside of the Card using the Pretty Pink Posh Lucky to Know You Stamp Set and Embossed with some WoW Pearl Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder!! SWOON!! That Sparkling Embossing Powder really finishes off the Design!!
I created my Second Card using the SAME Dies as my first Card only this time i omitted the Acetate Piece and just Stitched the Celtic Heart Detail Die Cut from Copper Glitter Cardstock straight to the Gingham Basic Heart Die Cut from some Doodlebug Gingham Pattern Paper!!
For the Second Card I used some Copper Glitter Cardstock for the Design Element and then I added some extra Copper Seed Beads in Size 8 for some added Details!! I LOVE the look of the Glitter Cardstock and you could use ANY Color Combo for a STUNNING Design!!
Then I Stamped and Embossed the "Good Luck" Sentiment on the inside of the Card using the Pretty Pink Posh Lucky to Know You Stamp Set and Embossed with some WoW Metallic Copper and Clear Gloss Embossing Powders!! SWOON!! I LOVE the BOLD look of the Metallic Copper Embossing Powder!! These would be PERFECT for an Anniversary Card or even a Wedding Card and you could Personalize the Colors to the Colors of the Wedding or the Couples Favorite Colors!! This Set it so Versatile!!
For my LAST Project today I'm showcasing the NEW Pot' O Gold Die!! I chose to show it as the Bubbling Cauldron to celebrate Halloween!! I LOVE to create Halloween Cards and I thought it would be FUN to create a Card Scene and I paired it with the Poshta Design CobWeb Coverall Die along with a Ghost Image from Trinity Stamps!! I created the Bubbling Caldron from Felt and then I backed it with a Barrette for the recipient can Wear it as a Hair Clip!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE that this can be used for different Holiday's and feel like it would be FUN to create out of Paper for even more Card Designs too!!
I Started by Inking up the Background after I Die Cut some White Cardstock using the Spiderweb Die using some Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks!! Then I Stitched the Cobweb Design!!
I Stamped and Embossed the Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment and Die Cut it out using the coordinating Dies and then I Die Cut the Trinity Stamps Ghost and adhered it with some Foam Tape for some Dimension!! I adhered the Hair Barrette to the back of the Stitched Bubbling Caldron using Hot Glue and then I adhered it to the Card Panel using some removable Glue Dots!!
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope I've INSPIRED You to see these Products in some different ways!!?? These NEW Dies are so VERSATILE and FUN to create with, the possibilities are truly ENDLESS!!
Make sure to come back again tomorrow for another look at the NEW Products!! I CAN'T WAIT to share what I've created with them!!
