NEW AT SU! BLOG HOP- SPELL IT OUT-ALPHABET A LA MODE

 Welcome friends to our New at SU Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world sharing some inspiration for your creations!!! This month we will "spell it out" for you using different alphabet dies or stamps!  So hop with us for this fun adventure!

Here's my card:

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!!! Having a bit 'o the Irish in me we enjoy a good St. Pat's celebration! Of course, we are all Irish on March 17! 

Ive used the Alphabet a la Mode dies to create the "Lucky" using the               Gold 6x6 Metallic Specialty Paper! 

Now here's where it gets tricky! I used the Lucky Clover Punch for the shamrocks with the Textured 12x12 Shimmer Paper and the Gold Metallic. Problem is the Clover Punch is not available right now! I guess it was wildly popular! lol

So here's what I came up with as an alternative! 

You can create this card using the Country Bouquet Punch! The cards otherwise are identical, but they each have their own "flair"!!! lol   

So if you have the Lucky Clover punch, go for it! If not, then any heart punch should do the trick!!!

Other materials used in this card are Bricks & Mortar Embossing Folder, Metallic Woven Ribbon, and Metallic Pearls.

I hope this has given you a couple of fun ideas! Now please visit the "lucky" blogs listed below until you get to the end of the rainbow!!! Guaranteed more fun than a pot 'o gold!!! Top 'o the Mornin' to you!!

Happy Stampin'!

PPP BLOG HOP-SUNSHINE AND SMILES

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! This month's kit is so adorable!!!! Creating an alternative was a challenge because the actual kit is so cute! But here we are!!! Hope you hop along & enjoy all our alternatives!!!!

Here's my card:

Here's the way the actual kit works:

I saw that bunny & it just screamed Easter to me! Here in New England we are in the throws of a renewed winter weather pattern-MUCH to my dismay! Anything spring speaks to me right now! lol  And with Easter right around the corner, this is just a thing!

All I did here was turn the card inside out and back it with some                       Basic White card stock! I decorated the inside too! The rainbow was just too pretty & springy to leave on the inside!

I broke my rule about only using kit materials on this one-but just a little bit! I did add some ribbon (Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet) and black & Balmy Blue inks. The stamp set Celebrating You used for the sentiment also is not part of the kit! But the majority of the card is kit-only materials!!!

I love this little Easter card and I hope you do to! Next up with some sunshine & smiles is Elizabeth! Click on her name here or the icon below to see her creation! Pray for spring! lol

Happy Stampin'!
