Day 11
"Top o' the Morning to You"
  ornament by Leigh

 

My Spring Blog Hop inspiration for you today on St. Patrick's Day is a fun hanging ornament featuring my fun new Paddy Balleigh Monster set and the Irish Blessings Clover Wreath☘️

 

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to print and cut out Paddy Balleigh Monster and the Irish Blessings Clover Wreath and watercoloured them with watercolour pencils.  I also used a white Dylusions paint pen to add highlights and a metallic gold gel pen on the hat buckle for a touch of bling.

 

 

Also cut my Top o' the Morning to You senti out and a mat layer for the Irish Blessings Clover Wreath with my Cameo too and coloured them with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink.

 

 

You'll notice Paddy Balleigh Monster is missing his legs...he's so sloshed he's legless LOL!

I removed them in Silhouette Design Studio before printing.  I adhered him to the Clover Wreath with a pop dot for a fun 3D look and then made the hanging ornament with metallic gold ribbon.

 

 The finishing touch was to add magical sparkle to the beer froth!

 

Happy St. Paddy's Day to you all!

May your celebrations be festive and safe☘️

Day 7
"Happy Birthday"
  box card by Leigh

 

My Spring Blog Hop inspiration today is a fun box card I've made for my nephew's birthday this month featuring the new Clover Cluster included in the Paddy Balleigh Monster set and the Party Balleigh Monster!

 

 

These box cards are equally as fun to make as it is for your loved ones to open and I think my nephew will get a kick out of it when he receives this one later this month😁

 

 

The box card was a print and cut file included with my Silhouette Cameo 4 and I modified it to make this box card.

 

 

Party Balleigh Monster is the star of the show and he's pleased as punch and ready to party when the card pops open!  I coloured the images with Copics, Prismacolor pencils and white Dylusion paint pen hightlights.

 

 For the arch panels I created a patterned cardstock using the Clover Cluster included in my new Paddy Balleigh Monster set....it is a March birthday after all and clovers bring good luck!  I used Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide inks to colour the panels.

 

For a touch of birthday sparkle I added some Crystal Stickles glitter glue!

As usual, so much prettier in real life!

 

 

For the side panels and both sides of the tall back panel I used a party hat patterned paper from my stash.

 

 

You can't go wrong with box cards for delivering the WOW moment when opened but they're so easy to mail out too coz they fold flat!

Day 1
"Hoppy Easter"
  slimline card by Leigh

I'm kicking off the Spring festivities today with an Easter slimline card featuring my new Baby Bunny Balleigh Monster border, Rainbow Arch and the "Hoppy Easter" senti from the Bunny Balleigh Monster set!

I had so much fun creating this whimsically quirky slimline card, those baby bunnies just make me giggle and they’re so perfect for slimline cards😁

 

 

I fussy cut out all the images and coloured them with Prismacolor pencils and white Dylusions paint pen highlights.  I used half of the Rainbow Arch and also fussy cut the cloud from the unused side to add to my scene.  For just a smidge of magical sparkle I dabbed Diamond Stickles glitter glue on their noses.

 

 

 I designed and cut a slimline scalloped window panel for the card front and a mat layer from a polka dot patterned cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4.  I also modified the Grass border by Paige Evans to fit my scene and cut out two sizes from white cardstock which I then coloured with Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide inks then splattered with Crushed Olive Distress Oxide spray.  I then printed out my Hoppy Easter senti onto the patterned cardstock and cut a banner and mat layer which I coloured with a yellow Prismacolor pencil.  I adhered the larger grass piece to the back layer (behind the bunnies) then mounted the window frame to the back with foam tape.  Then adhered the short grass to the front of the card and mounted the baby bunnies inside the window with foam tape then added the Rainbow Arch and sentiment before mounting everything onto a folded slimline card base I made from heavy weight cardstock.
