Shamrock garland

I made this quick paper shamrock garland for st patricks day. I used 3 shades of green cardstock and also a glitter card stock and cut my shamrocks at 2-1/2 from designers caledar. 

Lucky your my friend!

This is a card I made a few weeks ago. I know st. Patricks is over but I still wanted to share. Ink is close to my heart. Stamp is from Unity. Used a chevron embossing folder for the background papers and fussy cut around the stamp then adhered it with pop dots. I added a square brad in the center of the clover to finish it off and tied some peapod twine from The Twinery around it. Card stock is bazzill

Twine Holder

Here is the twine holder my husband made for me. the main part is just a piece of wood we had laying around. I went to the store and found a dowel that closely fit the size of the spools and then had him cut lengths of it to put the spools on. He painted the whole thing white for me and then we used some smaller pieces of wood and attached those to the wall first and then attached the main piece to those at an angle.

Valentine countdown treats

Valentine I like the way you roll (rolos)

Valentine I'm hooked on you! (gummy worms)

Valentine you're a "beary" good kid! (gummy bears)

so many Riesens why I love You!

You're a GEM! (ring pop)

Mint to be together! (life savors)

I've gotta "crush" on you!

This is all their mailboxes lines up :) I usually end on the 14th with chocolate fondue but this year I had pink eye so dang bad that my eye was swollen shut and I really thought I was going to be blind :(

 P.S. the hearts were cut from Doodlecharms at 2-1/2

Valentine heart wreath

This was super time consuming just so you know! I think I used 1-1/2 yards of light pink felt and  I had just received a birthday gift with this cool animal print ribbon on it so I decided it would go perfectly on my wreath :)

Valentines garland

These valentine garlands were super simple to make and lots of fun. Hearts were cut at 2-1/2 from George and Basic Shapes

 

And after I made that one I had someone ask me if I would make them one only instead of pink they wanted grey :)
