Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm not a bit Irish, but who says you have to be Irish to celebrate? I'm having a little dinner party tonight and serving up some reubens. The card and favor pictured above will be at each place setting.

Aren't the little milk carton's adorable? I filled it with Hershey Milk Chocolate Spring Flowers. As soon as I saw the Mini Milk Carton Bigz Die in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini, it was the first thing on my list. You can assemble the milk carton to have a spout open up to pour out your contents. My project is completely enclosed since my contents fill the width of the container. I've also seen these cartons made into super cute bird houses! I'm going to give that a whirl soon.

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day and happy stamping!

For You

We received almost 2 feet of snow since Thursday night! Brandon was singing Christmas carols this morning. This evening, I painted my nails a subtle shade of pink in hopes that Spring will arrive soon.

I brought a little Spring flower into my creation today. The flower you see on the card was created using 4 circle punches from Stampin' Up! (3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8"). All you do is crumble up the circle as tight as you can, unfold, and layer the different sizes. You could sand or ink the edges of the circle before you crumble it up to give it a distressed look. These are fun & easy to make. Give it a try!

The little label on the front of the card was stamped with Stampin' Up! Vintage Labels set. This stamp set is FREE with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. Each stamp in this set coordinates with a punch in the Idea Book & Catalog. It's a very pretty set. It comes in wood mounted or clear. Your choice! I prefer clear.

Check out the complete list of supplies for this card at the bottom of the post. As always, if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

Back to my nice warm cup of coffee and warm blanket! Happy stamping!
