St. Patrick's Day Card

Good evening all.  I hope your week has been going well.  We have had the best weather here so we have been spending much of our time outside.  So the project I have for you today is to celebrate St. Patrick's day.  My husband is actually Irish so I thought I would make him a card.  When I told him I was making a card he said "do we normally exchange cards on St. Patrick's Day?".  My response to him was no I am not expecting a card in return and it is really just an excuse to craft.  So here it is:

Card Recipe:

• A2 size card base in Kraft
• Frame is from DCWV Bloom stack cut at 5.25" from Elegant Edges - Oblong Clover cut
• Shamrock is from digital St Patrick's Day cartridge cut at 2.8"
• Sentiment is from two My Pink Stamper sets: Everyday Life and Friend-tastic
• Gold Stickles
• Crop-a-dile for the eyelets
• Corner Chomper to round the corners

So that's my card, I plan to write some gushy note inside just to let him know I love him.  I also made some Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes (for adults only) from a recipe that I found on Pinterest.  They came out really yummy.  No picture though because I can make a cupcake taste great but my frosting skills are a little lacking.   I am entering this card in the challenge over at My Pink Stamper.  She had the monthly blog hop all about St. Patrick's Day.  You should definitely check out the projects because they were great.  That's it for me, hope you have a wonderful weekend.

St Patty's Day T-Shirts and Video

Good evening all.  Hope you have had a great weekend.  We had a pretty low key one here.  Just hanging out enjoying the nice weather.  So my project for today is some T-shirts I made for my girls.  I really think they can out super cute and can't wait for them to wear them for St Patrick's Day.  These shirts are different from ones I have done in the past because I used fabric instead of paint for the decorations.  I used my Cricut to cut the fabric and learned a lot in the process.  I also made a video for you to share some of my tips.  Here are the shirts.

Didn't they come out great.  I love the gold buttons on the pot of gold.  Here is the video and I will put a recipe at the end.

T-Shrirt Recipe:

• T-shirts:  I use regular t-shirts from Target instead of the craft store because they are softer and have more shape
• Heat n' Bond
• Fabric and embellishments from fabric store
• Ironing Board and Iron
• Shamrocks from Cricut Digital cart St Patrick's Day cut at 3.5" and 1.3"
• Rainbow and Pot of gold from Simply Charmed cut at 2.4"
• Text from Plantin Schoolbook Shadow cut at 1.12"

 So I hope you have enjoyed my video and the project.  The number one tip I can give you for cutting fabric is to use a new cricut blade.  It will reduce any tearing of the fabric.

I have decided to enter this project in two challenges this week.

• Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 101
•  Bitten by the Bug 2 Shamrock challenge

I will leave you will a picture of my cuties in their t-shirts.  Have a great week!!
