Today, we have a very special guest on the May Arts Ribbon Blog with a bonus project using May Arts Ribbon & Penny Black Stamps. Please help us welcome Valerie Gee! First, here’s a little about Valerie:
Hi! My name is Valerie Gee, and I was born a crafter! I’m so lucky to live in Colorado with my amazing husband and two beautiful little girls. I love sharing my creativity with others, teaching, sharing ideas, and crafting whenever I can.
And her project:
I used the Penny Black stamp “Kisses”, and with a tiny modification to her necklace to make it look like a 4-leaf clover, turned her into a super cute St. Patrick’s Day image! I also took old brads that didn’t match my project, and altered the brads with embossing powder to make them coordinate with my green theme.
I used four of these modified heart brads to create a 4-leaf clover accent for the dot on the “I” in the word “Kiss” from the Penny Black Kiss me stamp, “x x x.” I added some green striped grosgrain ribbon to the back side of my image to create a ruffled boarder, put it all together, and I created a super cute St. Patrick’s Day card! Now Kiss me! I’m NOT Irish! Ha!
Here’s a video tutorial for her card:

What a cute card! I love the colors and the little girl.
Such a sweet card. Love the way you have used the ribbon around the cute image. 🙂
Adorable card. The ribbon around the image really pops it off the page. Your altered “dot” for the I is perfect.
What a darling card! TFS!
Beautiful card, you have so much talent!
Very cute card for St. Patty’s Day!
Cute card for St Patty’s Day.
Great card! I love the ribbon border and was even more excited too see the tutorial. The heart shamrock is the perfectly sweet embellishment.
I love this – especially the way you used four heart brads and formed them into a shamrock! I’ve looked everywhere for shamrock brads with no luck – now I’ve got it! Thanks for such a brilliant idea.
Gorgeous card, very cheeky looking lol x
what an absolutely adorable card! so cute to create a ruffle frame for the image!
I’ll bet that little girl is a handful – reminds me of Eloise. Cute card.

Adorable…I love girl stamps !!
Loving the girlie green card… Happy St Pat’s all and thank you for the opportunity for another fabulous chance to win!
I just love this card, the color of green is so bright and cheery and the girl is so adorable. She reminds me of my youngest Granddaughter who says to me “You Silly grandma”.
Very cute. I love the ruffled ribbon frame and the heart 4leaf clover, very clever ideas.
This project is so cute…and I love the fact you used other products – the brads, and repositioned them for your project…made them look like a four leaf clover and did the embossing powder color change! Haven’t done that in years..nice to be reminded that we can use older products in a different way! Top of the morn, luck of the Irish to you! Thanks for sharing such a cute wee green project!
Now she is just the cutest little girl…bet she will receive lots of kisses!!! TFS,
