Top O’ the Morning

And it’s Saturday again!  Happy March everyone!  This week our theme for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Hop is Top O’ the Morning – St Patrick Day cards.

Okay…I had to do a major punt on this…as I have NOTHING that is St. Patrick’s Day.  So I did a little punch art leprechaun! Here’s the details…

  • Soft Seafoam – 4 1/4 x 1  folded
  • Soft Seafoam – 3 3/4 x 5, run through the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder and add to card front
  • Regals DSP (Garden Green Texture) – 1 3/4 x 5, add to card front
  • Gold Foil – 1 x 3 3/4, add to card front
  • Whisper White – 2 5/8 x 2 5/8, add some of the Stitched Whimsy Dies, layer onto Calypso Coral 2 3/4 x 2 3/4, add to card front
  • To make leprechaun
    • Story Label Punch – Garden Green, 1/2 for the hate and the other half for the body
    • Basic Black – Classic Label punch – fold over bottom of  Story label to form the band
    • Gold Foil – 1/2 x 1/2, add to hat
    • Double Oval punch – Garden Green – the plain one for the rim of the hat
    • Petal Pink – 1/2″ circle (retired), add behind rim of hat
    • Strawberry Builder – Terracotta Tile punch out 6 strawberries, layer to form the beard and add behind hat
    • Add leprechaun to card front using dimensionals
  • Soft Seafoam – stamp greeting using Memento Black, punch out using Classic Label Punch, add to card front
  • Add some Gilded Gems to finish off
