 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to the Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge!

This week, we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

A little rainbow? A little wearing of the green? 

Whatever inspires you to create with a little luck 'o the Irish! 

I don't have much in my stash when it comes to St.

Patrick's Day, so it gives me a chance to have a little

fun with what I do have! Here, I created my own plaid designer 

paper using the Sketched Plaid background stamp. I 

stamped it onto Basic White cardstock using Pumpkin Pie

ink and then added some additional lines using my

Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write markers

and a ruler. So fun to coordinate for any occasion! 

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Country Flowers, Sketched Plaid

Ink: Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie

Paper: Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green Glimmer

Accessories: Spotlight on Nature dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Round We Go dies, White ribbon, Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends, Iridescent Pearls, Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write markers

Mini Milk Carton - EXTENDED

Good Morning, Stampers!

Here is another project we made at my Big Shot Class last week. This extra large St. Patty's Day milk carton was created by combining one and a half patterns from the Sizzix Mini Milk Carton die. A fun way to give a treat with room for extra sweets!

1. Cut (2) milk carton templates from the Sizzix Mini Milk Carton die using Wild Wasabi cardstock. 2. Cut one of templates in half keeping the piece with the flap. 

3. Add Sticky Strip to each of the flaps. Adhere the two pieces together to form the Extra Large carton.
