Tulip note care and friendship card
Stepping back in time again...an OLD card....
This cute tulip card I don't remember making, so I think I got it in a swap. Love the BLOOM charm hanging from the jute and the die cut tulip accented with the green.

Very simple cards/beginning stamping
These 2 cards are about 15+ years old and pulled from my archive. (It's kinda neat to go back to the beginning!) They mark the beginning of stamping and trying out a bleach technique.
With just 2 or 3 stamps and 1 color of ink (+ bleach) on the bottom card and decorative scissors this was what I came up with.

Happy St. Patricks Day LUCKY blocks
Here are the seasonal blocks I did with my kids craft class this year for St. Patrick's Day.
I wanted to do something larger so it could be a centerpiece on a mantle for St. Patty's Day or on a window sill etc. These fit the bill perfectly. The kids enjoyed making them and since my time with them is very limited (we have 1 hour to get the craft done) I kept them very simple in nature. The wood cutout letters were attached with sticky back Velcro circles (cut in half to fit better). The letters are not flush with the wood which creates a nice look so they appear to be popping out even more.
If I had more time, I would have embellished the blocks with some green half pearls or glitter on the letters or even a shamrock accent or two. (Who knows - I may still end up doing that and if I do, I will post the pix.)
Supplies: 2x4 (each block is 4 inches tall)
Acrylic Paint: Grass Green & Apple Tart
Wood Cut Letters
Foam Paint Brushes
Sticky back Velcro dots to adhere letters to blocks
