Happy St Patricks Day!

Celebrating St Patrick's Day with treats!
The "gold at the end of the rainbow" came from Irish mythology and the "luck" part of St Patricks Day is because if you are "LUCKY" enough to spot a leprechaun he MAY lead you to that gold at the end of the rainbow. But when I google Saint Patrick I find that St. Patrick's Day is founded in Christianity. You can read all about him HERE.  I do love it that Saint Patrick used the clover (3 leaf) to teach about the Trinity, and that he was a missionary to Ireland - his home land.
These are the treats that I made for Tyler and Gracie

These 2 kids love their candy (just like Gramma), but Sawyer's Mommy and Daddy prefer him to skip the candy and go for more natural treats.  

So this is what I made for Sawyer.  I even made enough for the whole family.

And look at this strawberry I found - my very own "3 leaf clover" in the form of a strawberry.

This next treat is one I cased from Melissa Davies on Pinterest. I handed these out to the ladies who popped in on Tuesday for my COME STAMP WITH ME CLASS.

 Here is a close up

Thought I would make a card to match to send to Joey and Melissa. I used a retired stamp for the sentiment called GO GREEN, and BEST BIRDS Stamp Set along with the PETAL BURST Embossing Folder

These are the Stampin' Up Supplies that I used on my St Patrick's Day treats

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

OK – I bet you are all sick of seeing St. Patrick’s Day themed cards – but I just had a few more to share so I will put them on the same posting today.  I hope you like them.

This one is made using all new items from Stampin’ Up! And I took a little liberty with some non-SU shamrock stamps for the others.  I computer generated the LUCKY ME because I didn’t have the retired stamp set called “Pinch Proof”. This little monkey card is going to my little Charlie for his first St. Patrick’s Day and the cute turtle card is going to Sammy. After I made them I was thinking they really didn’t need to be St. Patrick’s Day at all – they would be great to give your hubby for your anniversary – or just on a day you feel like telling him how blessed (isn’t that a much better word than ‘lucky’?) you are to have him in your life.

So here are the menu items for each card:

Card 1:
SS: Go Green
CS: Glorious Green, Green Galore, WW
INK: Glorious Green and Green Galore Markers
Accessories: Full Heart Punch, Wide Oval Punch, WW Organza Ribbon, Dimensionals, Big Shot, Magnetic Movers and Shapers  Punch Windows, Perfect Dot EF, Finial Press EF, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die

Card #2 and #3
SS: Fox and Friends, Holiday Blitz (small shamrock)
CS: Always Artichoke, WW, Handsome Hunter, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink
INK: Artichoke Marker, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Staz On Jet Black
Accessories: Always Artichoke 1/4” grosgrain ribbon, Bearly Lovely BABW sizzlit (bow), Sponge, Wide Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch

Thank you to http://stampinginspiration.blogspot.com for card #1 and to http://stampndesign.blogspot.com for cards #2 and 3

So For Now…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
