3 Easy & Super Cute St. Patrick's Day Decorations

I can't believe that it's already St. Patrick's Day!  I feel like I didn't get to make all of the cute decorations that I had planned on!  I guess there is always next year right?  Here are a few quick and easy ones that I did make this year:

1- Lucky Sign with Horseshoe "U":

 This was so easy to make.  I used an old board, cut my LCKY stencil out using my Silhouette Cameo, painted it, nailed the horse shoe "U" in with real horse shoe nails and added the hanger:

2- Shamrock and Burlap Door Hanger:

I actually bought the wood for this at the Wood Connections store in SLC a couple of months ago, so it was super easy to just paint, sand, nail together and attach the bow and little shamrocks.

3- Easy Leprechaun Clay Pot Hat:

 This idea has been around for awhile, I just hadn't ever gotten around to making one.  It seriously took 15 minutes.  So easy!

4- Hand stitched Clover Trio:

Anyone that knows me, knows that sewing is not my strong point, nor is it something that I have ever loved to do, so if I can make this anyone can!  I just cut the clovers out of material using a cardboard template and then stitched them to a thick canvas type material with embroidery floss and then framed it.

I also have to add a picture of 2014's March Hutch all decked out in greens:

Happy St. Patty's Day, I hope you have a wonderful one :)

Lucky Me Scrabble Tile Canvas

St. Patrick's Day is in full swing at my house!  I love decorating with all of the green and the shamrocks, it makes me so happy :)

I was bored the other day, so I looked around my craft room and gathered up a few supplies; a canvas, some material, embroidery thread, burlap, buttons, paint and scrabble tiles.  Here is what I came up with:

 I love using all of the different materials together!

Lucky me indeed!

Mini Pallet Lucky Sign

I decided to put another twist on the mini pallet signs using wood shims.  Instead of making a full square, I decided to make a horizontal sign using only 3 shims.  This is what I came up with:

I used wood glue to glue the shims together and then also glued a large Popsicle stick on the back to hold it together.  I created a stencil for the L, C, K and Y using my Silhouette and then cut out the gold U.

 I painted it green and then filled in the letters and sanded everything down and placed the gold U.  I painted and sanded the clover, added the burlap and button and glued it on:

That's it!  So easy!

A Few Cards...

I hate buying pre-made cards and very rarely do. Here are a few th at I've made:

I used a library card holder for this one:

I made several of these "Just A Note" cards, they always come in handy:

A super simple and easy one that can be used for almost any occasion:

Another tag/holder style one:

A cute Thank You card:

The next three pictures are all one card.  I made it by decorating a folded up paper bag.  the outside:

The inside:

We slipped this cute envelope inside the opening of the paper bag.  It held money, but could also hold a gift card:

So easy and so much better than store bought cards!

Scrabble Tile I Love You Frame

My latest Valentines Day Craft:

I just used a $1 heart frame that I got at Michael's, painted the outside edge and inside of the heart then, covered it with scrapbook paper.  I used glitter paper on the inside heart, glued the scrabble tiles and embellishments on, inked and sanded around all of the edges and ta-da!  Done :)

Easy Sneezy! And, it looks super cute with all of my other Valentine decor :)
