Bingo

I’m not a bingo player but I do adore the sweet little bingo cards that are so popular in paper crafting these days. They are great as a layering accent and add a playful but vintage look to a project. I’ve used one here as a tag accent for a quick project. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and although I don’t have a themed project for you, there is a tiny bit of green that will have to do. Our nod to the day was a leprechaun gingerbread boy that we soon gobbled up. I had wanted to take a photo but he didn’t quite keep long enough!

We’re enjoying March Break here. It’s amazing how fast the week is going by. A trip to the sugar bush, some cousins and friends to visit, a trip to see Pride and Prejudice and we’re finishing off the week with a belated birthday party. I can tell I’m not going to get much more paper crafting done! It will keep though. 🙂

Quick Tip: To cut a tag shape, make a rectangle and find the mid point of the bottom. Measure this point the desired distance up and mark. Draw angles and then cut.

Supplies: Lemonade 6×6 paper pad by Basic Grey, sewing machine, bingo card by October Afternoon, ribbon by Creative Impressions, buttons by Melissa Frances, chipboard by American Crafts, Tiny Attacher by Advantus, flower by Prima

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
