St. Patrick's Day Gift Box

 St.Patrick's day is one of those over looked holidays but I think its a great time to show a little love to those special people in your life.

Tracy from the Idea Closet and for today's project at SVG Attic I made a little treat box using a valentine file,  Heart Ribbon Tied Candy Box, in combination with one of the St. Patrick's Ornaments, Kiss Me.

I resized both files to get a perfect fit. Then cut out the heart box with some pretty green cardstock.

I love all of the Ornaments...I think I have bought every set.

It make the perfect little tag.

Fill the box with some green kisses and tie it all closed with twine.

  

All the files can be found at Snap Dragon Snippets, SVG Attics, sister site. 

You still have time to make some little gifts to share this week.

St. Patty's Treat Boxes with Beth

Good Wednesday Morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with these fun St. Patty's treats!

I started with the SnapDragon Snippets Pot O Gold Candy Wrap svg file and used DCWV's Garden Charm and Adhesive Mat stacks to create it.  I filled a small zip top bag with chocolates and adhered it inside the wrap to show through the front.  The finishing touch was a bow of yellow ribbon.

I then created two Gold Coin Boxes using The Paper Studio's Watercolor Daydream double sided paper.  For the top decorative layer, I inked it with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink and splattered it with water for an oxidized look.  I assembled these boxes with Scotch Tacky glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Luck & Love for St. Patrick's Day

FTC disclaimer: I received some of these products for free but was not compensated for writing this post. To view my complete disclaimer, click here. 

St. Patrick's Day is among us! Hello all, I-team member Sonja here with my latest post. Looking at the calendar, I decided to put some of my St. Patrick's day stamps to use. I received a bunch for free a few years back and this is my first time pulling one out. I know shame on me! 

After picking out the two files I wanted to do from SnapDragon Snippets website, I decided the perfect paper to go with these files would be some bright colors from Bazzill Papers. 

 For the card, I used (1) Juicy Pear, (1) Easter Grass, and (1) Flintstone

After cutting the shoe shape out with the Silhouette Cameo 3, I grabbed my Craftwell eBrush to float in some color.

Next I wanted some texture on my shoe so I ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with a Darice swirl embossing folder.

For the tag, I changed out the sentiment that comes with the file so that I could use my stamp.

Below the photo shows the difference with the embossing powder once heat is started to be applied to the stamp.

 I decided to distress the edges of the tag just to break up the blank space on it.

 Final Projects:

  At the last minute, I decided this card needed a lucky treat bag to go with it!

Materials Used: 

• Bazzill Papers
• (2) Juicy Pear
• (2) Easter Grass
• (1) Flintstone
• DCWV Glitzy Glitter
• (1) Gold

Shine Bright with Lisa

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa, here, and I'm taking over the blog today a few cards featuring this adorable Shamrock Light Bulb file. There are so many things you can do with this one file. It comes with two light bulbs; the one with the shamrock filament and one is just a plain light bulb. So this post started out as St. Patrick's Day cards but I decided I had to make the "Shine Bright" card. I wanted to show how you can use this for more than just St. Patrick's Day. 

For the shaker card I simply used my Silhouette Sketch Pen and cut the center of the shamrock out. I colored the image, carefully, with Zig Pens, cut acetate to adhere to back of image then added 3D mounting foam to the acetate(backside of light bulb panel), poured the gold sprinkles in, adhered to green cardstock that I attached to a 4.25" x 5.5" card base. I used my Silhouette Sketch Pen to create the sentiment and adhered with 3D mounting foam. Finishing off with three green enamel dots. 

This card was a little more work but not much and so worth it, in my opinion. I just added the sentiment by dragging it to the outline of the light bulb so that it snaps to the outline. Then I adjust the font size to fit the project. Now I did remove the outline of the bulb allowing the text to take its place. I then used a few COPIC markers to add color to the image, added googly eyes, layered it onto a green cardstock panel and then a 4.25" x 5.5" card base. 

For my last card, my favorite, I sized the plain bulb down, copy and pasted them, twisting and turning the bulbs creating a background. I die-cut the "shine" word and stamped the word bright using TH Distress Oxide Inks. Finished off with clear sequins. 
So, there you have it, three cards using one file. And I can see more cards being made in the near future. 

As always, thanks for joining us today!

Leprechaun Hats

I don't know about you but I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that not only is it March, but that March is half over!

What???

Anyway, Tracy here and today is my turn to post on the blog. To help celebrate St. Patrick's day this week I decided to make some fun gifts.

I love these little hats and they are perfect for sharing a little treat.

The file is from the JGW Top O the Morning kit

Jodi has easy to follow instructions here.

I created two different sizes of hats.  The dark green is the hat just as Jodi created the file.

To make a slightly bigger hat, increase the size by 125%.  At this size it still fits on a 12 x 12 mat but the hat is a little bigger.

To give the hats a finishing touch, add some twine around the hat band. 

I am so excited with how these turned out and I can't wait to give them away.

I hope you will check out this fun file.  You still have a couple of days to create some really great projects before St. Patrick's day is here.

Leprechaun Kisses ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello friends.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing with you a card from the new kit JGW Leprechaun Kisses.  This card is so cute and easy to put together.  If you need a quick card for St. Patrick's Day, this is the one.

I used Doodlebug, Happy Go Lucky.  The paper fit this perfectly.

I also used some Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine to add a pop of pink. 

I could see this card being used for many different occasions just by changing out "leprechaun".

Thank you for stopping by today.

Pot of Gold Treat Bag

Hello all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today and I am sharing a treat bag for St. Patrick's Day.

I cut the bag from the JGW Leprechaun Chase set at SVG Attic.  The patterned papers are from DCWV's DIY Project Stack:  Favor Boxes.  I hand cut a square of Gold Threaded Burlap paper and added it behind the pot of gold.

I embellished with a button, enamel dots, and a bow of Totally Kraft Trendy Twine.

Here is a look at the JGW Leprechaun Chase kit:

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

St. Patrick's Day Hats with Lisa

Hi, everyone and welcome. Lisa from The Relativity of Paper bringing you today's inspiration.

It's one month till St. Patrick's Day so I thought now would be an excellent time to get started on those St Patty cards. These cards are so simple to make and to be honest that's the reason I went with them for today's inspiration. I really should be in bed resting and getting over this horrible cold but here I am and here are the two cards I created using the SDS Charmingly Green - Leprechaun Hat Card.

 I used two shades of green cardstock, black cardstock, and gold from my stash. There really isn't much to making these cards, but they are so cute. You could emboss them with shamrocks, use them for a Mad Hatter Tea Party by only adding a white rectangle with 10/6 wrote on it, the possibilities are endless. 

As always, thanks for joining us!

Happy-Go-Lucky with Lisa

Hello, SVG Attic Fans! Lisa from, In The Crafting Cave, sharing four quick 

St. Patrick's Day Cards. I created all four cards using the SDS Lucky Me Kit.

There's a lot of great elements in this kit. 

This kit makes it super easy to create shaker cards.  For the two shaker cards I used 

Doodlebug Pot O' Gold 6 x 6 Paper Pad, green and white sequins, gold flecks in the shaker, stamped and embossed sentiment on the top card. 

 This is one of my favorites. Stamping acetate and using it for the card base gives that 

WOW factor, for sure!  Using StazOn Opaque Ink, I stamped the acetate randomly with
a shamrock stamp and sentiment, then layered the white and patterned paper. You can
add a white panel on the inside for note or cut out two of the white stamp/shamrock shapes adhere the second to the inside of the card and write a message on it. Adds a unique element to your card. 

 And as always, a CAS card. Kraft cardstock for the base layered with white and patterned papers finished off with white enamel dots. Join me on my blog for all the details!

As always, thanks for stopping by.
Have an amazing crafty weekend!

Be sure to join us tomorrow, February 20th, for the
BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!

Top of the Morning and Charmingly Green with Christi

St. Patrick's  Day is right around the corner and I thought I would take two of my favorite kits and make some of my favorites in them for house decorations.

We will start with the SDS Charmingly Green Collection.

  I made the Pot O' Gold Box out of AC Black Cardstock and filled it with yummy Chocolate gold pieces.  (Which by the way is NOT easy to find in my town for some reason.)    I then put the pretty Irish ribbon I got on clearance at JoAnn's last year after St. Patrick's Day.  ( I LOVE a bargain! ) 

I then made the 3d Leprechaun Hat.  I used AC Cardstock Shamrock Green and topped it with glitter paper and used Gold foil cardstock for the belt buckle. 

Last but far from least JGW Top O the Mornin' Collection.  

With this collection I made for my centerpiece the Large Shamrock on a stick.  I LOVED how this turned out!  I again used Shamrock AC cardstock  and  My Minds Eye Printed cardstock from my stash.  I topped it off with green gems on the front of the box and on the swirls of the clover but in the picture they are hard to see.  I then tied that same wonderful bargain ribbon on the stem.  

My only hope is I gave you some inspiration to decorate for St. Patty's day!

I have enjoyed my time as guest designer here at SVG Attic and thank you all for having me!  Until next time!

Blessings,

I want to invite you to SVG Attic's Birthday Bash blog hop on Saturday, February 20th!

St. Patrick's Day Treats ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday everyone.  For those of you in the thick of all this bad weather and those that are lucky enough not to be, I have a very quick and easy project for you today.  It is the Leprechaun Handle Tote from JGW Leprechaun Chase kit.

I used papers from Doodle Bug.  They are so cute on these bags.  

I know the kids are going to love these

I changed out the Leprechaun for the pot of gold on my bag with the rainbow paper.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day this Sunday.  Happy crafting!

Do What Inspires You,

Crafting With Kids!

Hello crafting friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and today I am going to share with you how easy it is to craft with children using files from SVG Attic.  Our county fair was this past weekend, and my 8 year old son wanted to enter things into it.  Of course, we had do do some paper crafting :)  Here is what we made...

He created a tree decoration from the O Christmas Tree set.

We re-sized the basket file in the Leprechaun Chase set to create a nut cup.

He really wanted to make the adjustable pirate hat from the Pirate Party kit!

This fun name card was created from the Construction Party kit.

And last, but not least, he wanted to make the fireman's boot bag from the Little Firechief set.

So, the next time your kids or grandkids are watching you create with paper, ask them if they would like to try!  There are many files that are simple enough that they can join in the fun with :)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
