Hello Stamplings!
I hope you're doing well! I was going to make you Irish Soda Bread, but I have a head cold, so The Mister picked up an Irish apple cake at the bakery. And there's Baileys, o' course, next to the coffee maker.
No matter one's heritage, it's fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day! Around Blogland there is green everywhere, both inside our craftrooms and outside from the lawn on up to the toppiest branches on the trees. (Well, unless you live where there is hot weather one day and snowstorms the next!😢 In that case, I hope my spring green leafy design will make up for my insensitive giraffe.)

The leafy e/f is from Fun Stampers Journey. The Washi Tape and gold-embossed sediment are from GKW. The gold-embossed leaves were in my stash. The crimped circle is NBUS from the Greetery.
My inspiration for this card came from:
- Sketch: CAS on Friday.
- Color: Seize the Birthday: green as main color.
- I.D.E.A.S.: E = Embossing.

I pretty much CASEd Michele's adorable bunny card which she made for her sketch at FMS this week. I couldn't resist! The bubbly e/f is from Fun Stampers Journey and the small arched panel is NBUS from "Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers" by Memory Box. The NBUS sediment is from Waffle Flowers. The little Easter egg stamps are from GKW; I heat-embossed them in gold onto pink paper and fussy-cut them.
Oops, Hammy just pointed out that I forgot to mention the star of the show! The sweet bunny is from My Favorite Things. He also wants me to mention that it took him 32 tries to train the bunny to balance on the eggs. And, yes, chocolate helped!
My inspiration for this card came from:
- Sketch: Freshly Made Sketches.
- Themes: Just Us Girls: Emboss.
AAA Card Challenge: A/G w/ option of zoo or animals.

ReplyDeleteTwo cute cards! From subtle leaves and pretty washi to subtle dots and pretty eggs -- your cards are great and the one CASEing Michele's layout is fun.

ReplyDeleteLove this little bunny !
Darnell, Your bunny card is just adorable! All of the embossing on top of polka dot paper is fun! And to top it all off, chocolate eggs! Thanks so much for playing at Just Us Girls for our embossing week!
ReplyDeleteFun cards. Your bunny is adorable, love the embossing addition too. Thanks for sharing at JUGS
ReplyDeleteTop o' the mornin' to you! Your fresh, vibrant, and wonderfully leafy St. Pat's card was a nice departure from the snowy landscape here after our weekend blizzard. Hopefully, our recent foot of snow is the FINAL winter blast of the season. Your sweet bunny card made me yearn for chocolate--only dark, please. I have become a chocoholic in my advancing age, and I refuse all attempts by friends and family to rehabilitate me. Thanks for brightening my day with your fab cards.
ReplyDeleteCute cards. The variety of greens is perfect for St. Paddy Day. The bunny is adorable and yes chocolate will help. I like the e/f on the PP. I've been seeing that all over blogland. I need to look at my PPs in a new light
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteTop of the Day to you, my friend. Happy St. Patrick's week. Pretty embossing folder for your leafy card. Cute bunny perched on the eggs with his Easter eggs. And yes, chocolate always helps!
ReplyDeleteEither card would work for my word of the week, Darnell. The polka dot background for the darling bunny is full of Spring colors and gives me hope. We have green but also lots of wind. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteHi D! Thanks for coming to 'the bunny-side' of my sketch! CASEing is always such a complimentary thing in my view! I'm loving all the dots: printed, and embossed - and your sweet little chocolate eggs! thanks so much for playing cards with us this week at FMS!
ReplyDelete=]
We are seeing lots of green here and everything will be covered with that yellow pine pollen soon. Your pretty card will escape that yucky yellow pollen. I love that embossing folder. Secondly, your polka-dots and sweet bunny make an adorable card. I agree, chocolate does help!
ReplyDeleteTwo pretties to delight the eye today! Love all the leafy greens on your first card, and it's a cute idea to emboss right over the washi tape. Is your bunny card adorable enough? I should say so! Polka dots, a bunny, and chocolate.... yes, please! I really love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating two occasions in one post! Both cards are lovely, Darnell...I especially love the balancing bunny! Good work, Hammy!
ReplyDeleteI love your St. Patrick's Day card. Everyone loves the color green, and your card has enough of it to please my eyes. I love the idea of embossing the panel with washi tape.
ReplyDeleteThis card is really fun; that cute bunny and the colorful background make a great pairing.
