Such a wonderful sponsor.  Great sponsor and really easy to work with there images.  Go say thanks, look around and find something you can't live without!

So for my card I worked with the image called Better Than Chocolate.  It is supposed to be a Valentines Day image but I am using it for a birthday card.  Here is the completed project.

I got out my stuff to foil this card.  I used a hot pink.  Foiled
all the outlines.  Colored with my Castle Arts oil based colored 
pencils.  The base is a pretty pink card and the paper is ancient.
The candies needed something so I put mirrored stars in a pretty
purple.   

I am so glad that the person getting this card has a great sense
of humor.  

This is the inside sentiment.  Cute card!

The back with the new label for 2025.

Well that is all for this month.  I will be back again on the 15th of April with something different.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know that you are blessed.

(yes, I love to find graphics to insert in my blog posts)  These two sponsors are the bomb.  Clean, crisp beautifully cutting images that are a joy to work with.  Gang, please go and check both of them out.  They really do appreciate it.

I have created a card for a very special person.  Can't name her yet but after she receives it I will tell you.  The image is from Colour of Love and is called Luck O' the Irish Entrantress.  Here is the result.

She turned out so good.  I used a lot of different items and techniques.  Let's start.  The base card is very heavy duty black 12x12 cut to 6x6.  The card design is by Sam Colcott.  Link here Multi-panel Pop Up card.  If you haven't visited go look.  I printed the image on new marker paper that I bought on Temu.  I like it but if Canson comes on sale i'm buying it.  I have colored the image using any pen, pencil, caulk,  and thought about nail polish but not this time.  I also paper pieced the caldron. I masked the image and used caulk to create a blue background.   I added some green and gold ribbon to frame her.  "Wearing O' the green' is her title.  Printed In Vellum and stuck on the top.  

Using the instructions that Sam generously provides I cut and created the inside.  I wanted to decorate it but didn't want to re-create the cover image.  So I found two cute little gals, printed them out, fussy cut and glued them on green holographic paper.  The green paper is from Graphic 45 Safari collection.  Multi-colored paper is from a book I bought at Tuesday Morning in 2014.  Hot pink and mint green from Recollections scraps.  "Happy St, Patricks Day" is printed on Vellum and glued to the multi-colored paper.  Here are some close ups.

This is the back.

I also made an envelope and decorated it.  Here it is.

That is it for this very special card.  It was also the first time making a box envelope.  So all in all a great project.  Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and I will see you next month with another paper creation.

So from my heart to yours, Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog post # 316

Hey ya'all!  I am back.  It's been 2 months since I broke my arm in 3 places.  I have been released from wearing my sling and have started Physical Therapy.   My coloring is getting better but not quite where I would like it.  (actually my coloring doesn't look like an elephants anymore).   So on to the challenge.  Here is our sponsor.

The shop is now closed.  Contact this link for

I am using the image My Little Love Bug.    Here is what I came up with.

I colored these adorable Lady Bugs with off label alcohol 
markers.  I paper pieced the log and the leaf.  I tried a new to 
me technique.  I ran some aluminum foil through my Cuttlebug.
The emobssing folder just has heart shapes in rows.  No name
of manufacturer.  The card is 5x7.  The embossing folder 4x6.
So I had to piece together the aluminum foil. 

The inside.

The back.

That's it for the first card for 2025.  Not to shabby.  Let me know what you think.  I love to read comments.  

I will see you next month with another creation.  So from my heart, stay healthy, stay safe and know you are blessed.

Patties Creations

Prize~~3 Digital Images

What a way to start a challenge.  2 heavy hitters.  Please go visit and leave some love.  These sponsors are fabulous for providing images for design teams to promote.  

Now on to my creation.  The image is courtesy of LeAnns World 101 and is called Alesea.   Here it is.

I colored the mermaid with Prismacolors in purple and hot pink.
Found in my stash was paper resembling water.  Then I got out
a file from ScrappyDew that is called Sealife.  This provided
the coral, seaweed fronds and the fish + turtle.  The title is 
printed on pink Mulberry Paper.  The turtle and fish both have
gold mirror accents.
  

The inside.

The Back (using up the last of 2024's stickers).

Here is the envelope.  I just love the little pink octopus.  This
card is heading to Canada.  Hopefully it will get these before
the end of February.

Well that's it!  Not to shabby for the first blog post of 2025.  The arm still hurts.  I have 3 months of PT and I should be healed in another 4 months.  

Now from me to you, heartfelt hope for health, wealth and happiness!
