St. Patty's Day Gift Bag Card

I just made a St. Patty's Day card out of a Gift Bag.

You know how you can make those mini scrapbooks out

of lunch sacks...same concept.

More on how I made it here:  Canvas Corp Blog

Products I used:  Canvas Corp, Jenni Bowlin, 7 Gypsies, Cosmo Criket

Front Door Decor: St. Patrick's Day

I just finished my front door decor for St. Patty's Day!

I am lovin' the Green...that means we are

closer to Spring {and green grass!}

I started by using Canvas Corp canvas heart mini shapes.

Easy fit for a 4 leaf clover!

I used gold glitter to cover it first and then I

used Jacquard Paints {see bottom} for the Emerald Green.

I love it when I can use items that I have on hand.

I used the green streamers from last years St. Patty's banner {see here}

Then I used the green ribbon from my Christmas ornaments {see here}

  I cut a stem shape out of burlap and painted it with green.

The green houndstooth paper is actually tissue paper from HobLob that I mounted on foam core board {10"x10" size}.

I then mounted that piece to a Canvas Corp black and white stripe scrapbook paper that I made

more sturdy by attaching it to some chipboard.

 It was the first time that I used Jacquard Paints {lumiere} and I love it!  Great stuff!!

Have a Lucky Day!!

Lucky "L" on my front door...

I just took my rose heart off of my front door and made this today...

My Lucky L Door Decor.

It also helps that our Last Name starts with an "L", so I can use this a lot during the year!

I used a scrap piece of foam core and cut it to a 8"x10" size.

To cover the rough edges, I just hot glued ribbon around it.

I just "plucked" the little stems off of a dogwood looking bush that I got half off at Hobby Lobby.  So, this project only cost me $4 because I had everything else on hand.

Be careful...I burned off some of my fingerprints today! ;)

You have to hold the stems down for a moment or it will not dry flat.

I had an extra picture frame hook from a previous project and just hot glued it to the back.

The "bush" had bright and dark colored stems, so I made sure that I alternated them.

I am pretty sure that either Pottery Barn or Ballard Designs had something like this.

My 12 year old son helped me figure out how to get the "L" to be straight.  I told him that I was proud that he could figure out a craft and he said, "Well, I have to learn to figure things out because I am going to be an architect when I grow up"...I can't wait for him to design my dream house...

Up close look at the tag.  I seriously made this in under a minute because the flower was premade & I just wrote "lucky" on the tag...easy, easy!  With my craft stuff semi-organized I found everything fast...Yeah!

Be LUCKY!

LUCKY Burlap Tag Mantle Decor

I have been trying to be better about decorating seasonally.  So, here is my St. Patrick's Day decor. 

This was sooooo EASY to make...really!

I just printed these monograms off from Photoshop Elements.  I bought the monograms {click here for the link} from http://www.houseof3.com/ because they were half off last week!  This weekend they are having another sale!!

On the "L" and "K" I made them using Brushes..Click Here.

I cut them out and inked the egdes black for a more "finished" look.

Cut the burlap to look like a large tag...I wasn't perfect on cutting them...I like things that aren't perfect looking!  {size 7"x 10"}

I LOVE stickles {glitter glue}

The only thing I had to buy for this project was the streamers...super cheap & you get a lot!

I broke out my houndstooth ribbon to add a little bit more to it...I am going to paint the clothes pins black, I didn't have time today.

Enjoy your weekend!
