If you are looking for ScrappyScavenger's Shimmering Shamrock Blog Hop than click here to get to the yesterdays post. Now on to the fun of the "It's All About Green Blog Hop". I hope you enjoy my cards.
I made all of my cards from 2 sheets of paper and some card stock. I wanted to see how many I could get made out of minimal supplies. I designed these 3 using a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" green card stock base, corner round the two bottom corners and applied my base paper. I also inked the sides of the papers edges before I placed them on my card base.
I then added my stamped circle sentiment and placed it on a larger dark green piece of card stock, using my Glue Pro Glider I placed it on the front of my card. I took some green ric rac ribbon, my two way tape and placed my ribbon on before I added my last strip of paper. My finishing touches were a green flower, button that I threaded with some tan twine and a couple of green brads.
Here is the side view of my Smile Card so you can see that I cut about a 1/2" from the bottom of the front of the card and added a 1" strip to the inside of the card, remember to corner round and ink this piece also.

My next cards are from the same two sheets of paper. I made two A2 cards from light green card stock. I applied a square of the left side of my card. Notice the stitching I did that with a Black Zig Pen since I didn't want to drag out my sewing machine.
I then added my smaller strips of paper and did the same stitching to them. My HI is from a Quickutz font, add a big green flower, button that has some tan twine tied to it and some staggered buttons to the bottom.
Can you believe how many cards you can get out of a sheet of paper. I have one more card to share but I am going to save it til it gets closer to St Patrick's Day so make sure to stop back it so you can see what else I did with these two sheets of paper.
I love comments and would love for you to follow my blog if you would like.
