Lucky In Love

Happy St.Patrick's Day to everyone!
 I have two St Patty's day themed cards to share with you today, so let's hop right in. Starting first with the Unique Laser Designs products I used to complete each card.



Clovers

Heart Stencil

First I added some ink and stenciling to the base of each card.



I used Stickles to add a bit of color and distressing to the Clovers.

Now let's begin building the decorative card base.

IRISH COFFEE FOR SOMEONE?

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here with an irish coffee to share with you! Have you see this beautiful clovers and swirls in the Unique Laser Store? I have to tell you that as a Colombian girl, we don't celebrate St. Patrick's but here in the US I saw a lot of ideas that inspired me to create something beautiful for you, so I decided to combine a few cultures in my creation.

I created a frame with a big size, 8"x10". This is perfect to use in our office or kitchen, near to the coffee maker. With this in mind I changed the traditional phrase Kiss Me, I'm Irish with Drink Me, I'm Irish.

These were my main materials, all from our Store. I used a different pieces. The top clover is a beautiful piece of 1"x1" that come in a package of ten and is called Clovers. The little square is a scrap piece from Kennyscrap and the large clover is a Special Order Item from Unique Laser Designs.  

I painted them with Watercolor Green the clovers and the swirls with Yellow Paint, letting them dry for a few minutes.

Then using a Thinlits Little Letters and the big shot , I cut all my letters using the same colors. I pasted the green letter over the yellow a little bit moved to the right to give dimension to each one.

To compliment the decoration of my frame, I stamped a coffee cup with classic Ink Early Espresso over Very Vanilla Cardstock using the stamp set Perfect Blend from Stampin Up. After the image was stamped, I cut it with scissors.

After this, using my Get-It-Straight Laser Square from KellyCraft I aligned all the letters and embellishments over the paper base and pasted them one by one using a liquid glue. I started with the letters and and then with the embellishments.

Here some details of my laser cuts:

Lucky Charms

The luck of the Irish is with us today in my Lucky Charms project! 

I started with this adorable wooden bicycle laser cut from Unique Laser Designs,  This is the Ladies Bicycle, W-1045, in wood.

Then I selected a few Mini Covers and a horseshoe,  The clover with cutouts were a special order item.

I chose a pretty Irish shamrock pattern, and adhered it onto a black card stock background. I arranged a few wooden die cuts to get an idea of how my finished piece wold look. I imagined a magical, enchanted bicycle, flyin through the woods with lucky charms swirling around in its wake.

I painted my wooden pieces with acrylic paints. I love the way the bicycle turned out, and it was easy to paint too. I used glitter on the "charmed" pieces!

I then added a few paper die cuts as well, like these small hydrangea blooms, from Poppystamps.  They made a nice addition to the springtime feel of the card.

Add a few tulips, a cheeky squirrel, and a couple of emerald jewels for a magical look!

Thank you for joining us today at Unique Laser Designs!
