As soon as I saw the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper I thought of the cute treats I could create with it for St Patty’s Day. The pattern looked like clovers to me. So here is what I came up with.
So I reached for the Amazing Life stamp set which contains not only the Good Luck sentiment but a 4 leaf clover too – both perfect for my project.
I’m a mint fan so when I found these little Russel Stover mints I picked up a bag – I love little prepackaged treats like this!
Want to see how I made them? Here is a quick video for you.
Do you sometimes put something you are working on aside and think – oh I’ll get back to that? I know I have a stack of things and I recently went through it to clean up my craft room. I was excited when I found this card that I did during a shoe box swap. I had not done a nice job as I wanted on some of the parts since I was in a hurry and so was going to fix it when I got home. LOL Fast forward…. you know how that goes.
Well I got it done with a few changes since it had been so long, but I really like how it turned out.
I’m afraid I don’t have any information on who shared this project, but I still love the original card that inspired me.
Masculine cards are always great to have on hand and this set is a particular favorite of mine for the guys in my life.
Well that is it for today – stop back by tomorrow when I will be sharing a fun little treat that you can whip up for St. Patty’s Day or other special occasion. Till then… Happy Stamping!

Today’s project is one that we did as last Weekend’s Peak Princess event. What is that you ask? This event is a special one for those on my team who qualify for it. It’s an afternoon of pampering – filled with games, prizes, and a special project and best of all time together.
Want to see some photos? This first one is of the class room, ready to go – the little skinny notepads that I shared with you yesterday are at everyone’s seats.
And of course there has to be some goodies, right?
One of the dishes I served was a delicious Black Bean Salsa that Sara Douglas shared with us on her face book page, sorry I can’t find it again to link it for you. She gave approximate measurements since she doesn’t measure the chopped ingredients – so I’m giving you what I did below. You can tweak it to fit your tastes.
Black Bean Salsa
Sara Douglass, Stampin’ Up! CEO
2 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans of corn, drained and rinsed
1 bunch green onion, chopped
½ purple onion, chopped
1-2 cups red, orange, yellow and green peppers, chopped
Cilantro, leaves pulled and chopped
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tsp. Lime juice
¼ tsp. Garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste)
Mix and serve. This makes a big bowl, the picture below is just half of what it made. So if you want the recipe can be cut in half.
Serve with corn chips – I used blue ones.
We played bingo – my daughter was home on break so she called Bingo for us (She thought it would be great practice for her upcoming band fundraiser too. Yes, believe it or not she is a Band Director. This is her second year of teaching now!)
Here are just a couple of the prize winners – we played 5 games
And of course we crafted together
And this February’s project was such a hit I thought I’d share it with you today in case you’d like to make some too. It’s a book that holds your cards – it includes a perpetual calendar for you too. It’s a great item that I’ve been using myself for years!
I really love the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and it’s beautiful pearl finish that some of the sheets have so I started there. I think the fact that this Designer Series Paper is a bit heavier will help it hold up for years to come.
Here is the video I did for you.
Share What You Love Perpetual Calendar Card Book Video Tutorial
I’ve also created a pdf for you with the step by step directions and supply list.
Share What You Love Perpetual Calendar Card Book PDF
And here is the link for the Calendar pages for you. I simply printed them off onto Whisper White card stock.
I think these are going to make great gifts, so I’ll be getting a few more packages of this DSP so I can start my holiday gifts now and earn FREE Sale-a-bration items too! This pack of Designer Series Paper has 24 sheets in it so you can make several per pack of DSP and then use the extra sheets to create cards to go with the book!
Love the project but don’t have a binding machine? That’s not a problem – check with your local Office Supply Store. They normally can bind things for you or allow you to use their machine when you purchase the combs from them.
Enjoy!

If you love note pads like I do, you’re going to love this quick and easy project that I made recently for my Team’s Peak Princess Day. This fun holder uses the Share What You Love Suit of products and holds a skinny notepad perfect for jotting notes on the go.
Check out this video tutorial so you can make some too!

I know you’ll want to make some too so here is a printable tutorial for you.
I’ve used a typical Junior Legal Pad that I took to my local office supply, Office Pros in Cornelia. For a small fee they cut the legal pads in 1/2 for me. (If you don’t live locally most office supply stores offer this service, so you’ll just want to check with them on their requirements.)
Have you seen the Sale-a-bration stamp set Home to Roost? This set has a wonderful rooster in it along with some great sentiments. With my husband’s chickens and his new chicken coop that he got for Christmas, I knew this was a set I wanted to earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration.
Check out these great cards made with the set.
This first one uses the Wood Textures Designer Series paper as the back drop for this simply stamped rooster. I love the way it has been teamed up with the Gingham Gala Designer (148554), Adhesive Baked Sequins (148561), and Flax Ribbon (148764). I think it gives a twist to the country feel of years gone by.
And how about this one? It also uses the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (144177) but the colors and the Buffalo Check Stamp (147797/147794) give it a very different feel.
And this final card uses the Tin Tile Embossing Folder (147906) and our colors Tranquil Tide and Mint Macron as a back drop for this lovely rooster colored with our Watercolor Pencils.
Just beautiful and classic.
Isn’t this part of what we love about stamping? You can take the same stamp set and create so many different looks. And when you purchase the products to create your project you can earn the Home to Roost stamp set for FREE during Sale-a-bration! So why not place your order today and start creating projects for your family and friends?

With the spike in temperature last week I was thinking spring – so here is a bright cheerful card made with the Varied Vases Bundle from the Annual Catalog.
Today’s post is going to be quick since I’m expecting my son to be cracking the whip and needing me for our home improvement project again. He’s got a ton of energy and kept me working until after 11 last night. Oh, for the days when I used to have that much energy. LOL! (I’ll try and share some pictures with you next week, so you can see what I’ve been up to.)
I’m loving this Bundle of products and the fact I can use this punch with the Vibrant Vases stamp set (148656) offered in the Occasions Catalog too! More options, means more value, yippie!
I like the Blueberry Bushel and Calypso Coral combination that I used on this card, it’s bold and cheerful and perfect to chase away the winter time blues.
I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial for you too. Just a PDF this time, but I do have a tip for how to stamp easily with this punch that I’ve listed on the tutorial for you. And of course this set is great to use with your Stamparatus since it is a two step and allows you to stamp the flowers easily and at one time too. Got to love that, right?
