Dies R Us - St Patrick Day Card

Barbara Campbell here and it is  time for another card from me on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.  It is now March and I thought that it called for a St Patrick's Day card.  The card was easy to make, but hard to photograph.  More later.
Here is my card.  

I have to use natural light when taking pictures, and in this case the green card stock did not look green.  I took several pictures.  Today, I tried again to take a better picture of the colors.  I was successful with the green, but now the white looks yellow.  See what I mean.

 I think you get the point.  Now here are the dies that I used for this celebration card.

Taking a picture was not the only problem that I had with this post.  I used Memory box Banner Parade and was surprised to find that it was no longer carried.  But look what I found in the store.  These dies will work perfectly for you.

 Hope that you take a look at the store, they now carry lots of things not just dies.

Here is my card  

I made a collage of this card so that you can see the outside and the inside too. 

   This is the outside, it is a trifold card with a belly band to close it.  

The front has a lot of texture with die cute and the Happy Birthday done with dies. 

 Here is the band removed

I will list the dies at the bottom of this post. 

 Here is the inside, I used my colored pencils to color this cute puppy and girl.

Stamp TV - Two challenges

I am sharing this card with you today and making a quick post.  I made this card with my practically brand new kit from Gina K Designs called Hearts and Flowers.  Her new kit is out and I realized that I had not even inked up the last one.

Here is my card

 I stamped and die cut the vase of flowers and also the YOU from Gina's dies called You.

 After coloring the flowers and using the swiss dot embossing folder on the top part of the card, I added score lines.  The You is die cut twice and then I applied Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to it.  It shows well in the photo.  I quickly added a matching envelope to this card.  It was easy as I just stamped the vase of flowers around the edge.
I will be entering this card in two of the challenges at Stamp TV.

Dies R Us - Lighthouse Scene

Hello card makers!  Barbara Campbell back today with another beach inspired card for you.  If you saw my card last week, you may have noticed that I cut some dies and I didn't use.  Well, here they are for you now.

This is another layered die from Elizabeth Craft.  See the solid layer and the outline?  I actually colored it after gluing it together.  That way I could do some shading to make the lighthouse look curved.

I used some water colors on the sky and the water, using the brush to make the waves.  Next, I tore another piece of the sand beach and also used the watercolors for some texture.

Take a close look at the rock near the lighthouse, they are mushroom tops colored and shaded.  I think they make a great rock.  Then I just added the Shoreline Cattails and the sentiment to complete the scene. The sentiment is from Power Poppy Good thinking.  

 Here are the other dies that I used on this card.
