Happy St. Patrick's Day! I feel L U C K Y for so many reasons…when I heard that I was going to be Mary Fish's Guest Stamper today I was super excited and I knew exactly what I was going to do!!!
Let me 1st tell you how L U C K Y I am to be a part of Mary's PALS – I started following her blog – Stampin Pretty over 18 months ago and I was instantly hooked with her style and commitment to her business! I could hardly wait to wake up in the morning to see what she posted…so last May, I took a leap and became a PAL and have loved everyday!
I have been wanting to use the On Board Sheets to do a card and today this was a perfect time to use them! This product gets overlooked in my opinion and I just love the look and effect it gives! The Bigz Typeset Alphabet is the center stage and it certainly shows the WOW factor! Now I know what your thinking…this is a bit pricy but how about getting it for 50% 0ff or better yet…how about for free…ask me how! The ideas are endless with this set…I love making simple monogrammed notes for a quick and clean gift!
Isn't it simply amazing all of the things our dear friend, Mr. Big Shot is capable of doing! After first adhering the Old Olive Polka Dot Parade Paper to the On Board Sheets…I simply cut them out and voila! Doesn't that give this such a great effect and depth!
I knew I wanted to do a bit more to the focal point of this card so I used the Scalloped Trim Border Punch to give it a fun yet sophisticated flare! A little touch like this adds so much!
Building my shamrock was a cinch using both the small heart punch and the bird builder punch! It is amazing all of the things you can do with paper and punches and I always love seeing the endless ideas that can be created!
My sentiment came from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, these little stamps might be small…but they pack a B I G punch in getting a short and sweet message across – definitely a Stamp Set that I consider to be on my "A list" and then punched out with the Modern Label to give it a stage of its own!
If you follow my Blog you know 2 things I always do…use Stampin' Dimensionals and line my envelopes! Well today is no different! My Mom always loved when an envelope was lined…doing this reminds me of her each day!
Another reason that today is my L U C K Y day is that it is my 50th Blog Post! Now that might not seem like a big deal to you…but to me it has been huge as not only has it been a commitment – it has been a joy to inspire and get to know my followers! Please click the subscribe button above to get daily inspirations from me….I love what I do – and I love helping you!
If you leave me a comment at the end of this post…I am going to pick a L U C K Y loyal Blog reader a pack of 5 In Color Pens in honor of my 50th post….I thank you for your comments and I look forward to more posts and fun times ahead! I will randomly pick the lucky winner ( well actually I'll have my dear hubbie do it) tomorrow night, Monday March 18th and post it on my daily blog on Tuesday!
This is the last week to take advantage of the super opportunity to get $156.50 worth of YOUR choice of products for just $99.00 in honor of Stampin' Ups! 25th Anniversary!

Thank you for sharing. You’ve encouraged me to look at the chipboard & Bigz alphabet. I would love to see a video or step-by-step instructions of how this was done. Did every letter of the alphabet set get cut out, then you chose the letters you needed? Thanks, Debbie
Your card is too cute and “Lucky” you for being on Mary’s team. I am saving my $$ for the alphabet set. Love it and TFS!
Love, love, love this card!
