St. Pat's With Petaloo!
Although St. Patrick's Day is a week away, there is still plenty of time to craft up
a sweet vintage-style hanger to greet your March guests!
I shared this yesterday over at the PETALOO Blog

To begin, a 4.5" X 4.5" heart die, template or cutting file will be needed;
or free-hand the shape. Cut the heart four times from the Lucky One paper.
For a sturdier hanging, the individual hearts may also be backed with
a lightweight chipboard.

Arrange the hearts so that all of the points are facing in towards the center.
Place a large circle of paper at the back of the hearts and adhere in the
center to hold the hearts in place.

The vintage motif was trimmed from the Lucky Two paper and added to
the center (of the now) four-leaf-clover. The edge of the design was glittered
with a emerald green glitter.

Two shamrocks were hand-cut from the Lucky Three paper and adhered
below the vintage image. The sticker sentiment was added to the center
and a row of fun buttons were arranged at the top.

Welcome to this week's
Unity Hop of Inspiration
Here's a list of the hop:

THIS WEEK'S UNITY SPECIAL
This week I decided to work with the new and amazing wood-block stamps
for St. Patrick's Day! Growing up, St. Patty's Day wasn't that big of a deal, but it seems
that more and more people are celebrating the occasion...after all, it's the one day that
everyone can be Irish!
I stamped the image, Lucky Friend, twice: onto green and white cardstocks.
I glittered the entire shamrock using a Ballpoint-Tip Glue Pen by Martha Stewart and
green metallic glitter by Doodlebug. Also by Doodlebug Designs are the Hello Spring
patterned papers, Sugar Plum Boutique Brad and Fancy Frills Lilac Border Stickers.
I just LOVE the lilac and shamrock-y green together!
So many possibilities with this next stamp, Happy St. Patty's...I went with little wineglass markers
layered in bright colors of green and yellow. A round punch made it easy to remove the
center of the image from the rest and then I layered with foam dots.
With the size of the stamp, you could also use a round scallop punch to cut out the actual image.
Don't forget to comment as you go!
Three $20 Unity Gift Certificates will be awarded to three random folks who've left a comment :)
**Time now for Shilo Mile's Blog**
Enjoy the inspiration!

totally terrific thursday
Top 'O The Lolli To Ya
I have a couple of new things to share today and they have to do with
St. Patrick's Day and Lollipops...what a combination!
First, I'm up again at The Kraft Outlet today.
The Theme: Luck 'O The Irish Challenge
Have a Kraft Coffee Bag (or two, or three) on hand and load with your gifting treats.
For the tag, I downloaded the FREE clipart from waltzingmouse.com. Print onto Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and trim with a pair of detail scissors. Print the same image again onto a green cardstock, enlarging the image just a bit (I changed the page margins on her paper, which created a smaller and larger image). Trim the image again and also cut out the small oval image in the center. Layer the Lunch Bag Kraft image over the green with foam dots.
Next, attach the green oval image onto the Lunch Kraft Bag image with foam dots and then trim with Dark Green Baker's Twine (I use a Glue Writing Pen by Martha Stewart...perfect for adding twine to any project). I added a bit of green glitter to the shamrocks and two brown pearl embellishments to the image as well.
I took a Jenni Bowlin Vintage Black Journaling Card and distressed the front with a little spritz of Eucalyptus Walnut Ink. I then machine stitched it onto a patterned paper, leaving a 1/2" border on each side. Distress the edges of the patterned paper with brown ink. Punch hole at the top of the tag and insert about 10" of Natural Brown Hemp Cording. Tie into a loop and attach to the Kraft Coffee Bag with a Tiny Wooden Clothespin.
Next stop...I Heart Ippity.
The blog has been totally revamped...you must see it!
Today is Thursday and that means a
Totally Terrific Thursday
I Heart Ippity project.
Time to fire up the Zig Markers and dust off that jar of glitter!
I love lollipops...they're whimsical and remind me of an old-fashioned game of Candy Land :)
My daughter gets invited to a lot of birthday parties...and I'm usually the last to know. It's great to have handmade cards, gift wrap, bags and boxes on hand at all times. So, I decided to create a little gifting box that's the perfect size for those 'best friends' necklaces, which my daughter loves to give.
I used the
sucks to get old
Itty Bitty Stamp Set IPPITY-IB-010
For my gifting box, I used a premade container by Martha Stewart (got them on clearance at Wal-Mart).
I stamped the lollipop image with Staz-On Black ink onto a scrap of October Afternoon (Modern Homemaker) patterned paper. I then colored in the dotted portion of the image with a Basic Red ZIG marker. For the non-dotted portion, I glittered with a bit of iridescent glitter. I trimmed the lolli part of the pop out and glued on a plastic candy stick (but you could use the paper sticks from actual lolli pops). I then glued on a cute ribbon bow and pearl for the center of the lolli! Wrap a strip of patterned paper trimmed in ric-rac around the box and wallah...you're done!
Thanks for dropping in!

Monday again and time for the
EAD Monday Give-A-Way & Blog Hop!
You should be here from Rose's Blog
I'll be working on St. Patrick's Day and since we wear ceil blue scrubs, I thought I'd better make a little bit of green to pin on my jacket. So! I brought out my awesome I-Top Tool and XL Badge buttons by Imaginisce and went to work. First, I topped my badge with a bright green striped fabric. Next, I took the green cupcake Irish Sweets Stickerz and applied it to a white cardstock, then trimmed out. I attached it to the front of the badge with foam dots (I used a dot of Fabri-Tac to adhere the foam to the fabric). A little green bling and baker's twine finished off my sweet St Patty's badge!
No pinchin' in my future!
You can also use paper with the I Top Tool and accessories...just apply your Stickerz motif and punch out.
Easy, fun and even the kiddies can join in on the creativity :)
Thanks for stopping by...now it's off to Miss Amy's Blog you go!
**DON'T FORGET: Rubons and Stickerz ship FREE from EAD**
Have a great week
