St. Patrick's Day tag swap

Hello! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! I participated in a tag swap in a new crafting group I have joined and I really enjoyed working on something again!

Eacg tag had different beading hanging from top with some great charms I found at Hobby Lobby.

One of the best parts? My son was born on the day the tags were due to be mailed! I made sure to request from my hospital bed that my husband got them mailed off! :)

Secret Leprechaun - the final day!

Today is reveal day!!! My last present to my person is a light up hanging shamrock and a green glittery basket full of candy!  Here is the card that I made her to go along with it:

This card is based on a sketch from PageMaps that was chosen for a challenge on the Cricut Circle message board. The shamrock paper is from a Martha Stewart seasonal stack.  The rest of the cardstock is Recollections. All of the cuts on this card are from Gypsy Wanderings:

Large scallop (2.5")

Medium circle (2.2")

Small circle (2")

4 hearts (0.65") and a flower stem (1.03") welded together to make the shamrock and then cut again separately for layering

The ribbon was purchased from my LSS and I added some brads for detail.  The stamp at the bottom of the card is from the $1 section at Joanns. 

Leave a comment to be entered to win a mystery prize from a sneaky little leprechaun that I keep seeing pop up around here!  I will guarantee you it will include candy!

Secret Leprechaun - Day 4

Goodness!  I forgot to schedule the post to go live this morning!  Here it is!

Day four of this week brings us to St. Patrick's Day!  We don't reveal who we are until tomorrow so for today I wanted to give her something she could wear.  A simple shamrock beaded necklace does the trick.

This top hat is from the Circle cart Shall We Dance and is cut at 3". 

I added the shamrock from Paper Doll Dress Up as a flourish to the hat (1").  Stickles around the edge make it stick out a bit.  The tag is tied on to the necklace with some silver cord I had laying around.

Check back tomorrow for the final card I will be giving her, revealing who I am!  Thanks for checking my blog out!

Secret Leprechaun - Day 3!

Today, the little leprechaun will leave my coworker a crazy headband with shamrocks, glitter, and streamers!  (I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped it up - oops!)

This tag is the lucky horseshoe on the Smiley Cards cart.  It is cut at 3".

I wanted to show you this close up picture even though it isn't the best quality.  I don't always like the faces on the cuts so I try to spruce them up.  I added googly eyes and crystal-colored stickles for the cheeks.  Then I used a silver marker to add those cute little dots all over.  That just says "cutesy" all over it! :)

Don't forget to leave some comments this week!  You never know what might happen!

Secret Leprechaun - Day 2

Today's sneaky little leprechaun is leaving some cute jelly window clings! 

The tag shape is cut from Stretch Your Imagination at 3.5", using the shadow, normal, and layer cut.  The pot of gold is cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at 3".  Yellow stickles create the gold in the pot.

 

This tag took me less than 10 minutes to put together.  So easy!

Don't forget, there might just be a little leprechaun around here at the end of the week too! ;)

Secret Leprechaun Time!

Every year my co-workers and I participate in Secret Leprechaun week.  Every day we leave little surprises for one person in their room, mailbox, wherever.  On Friday, we give a bigger, little bit nicer gift and reveal ourselves.  The woman I have probably has no idea I have a blog so I figure I'm safe sharing with you all week long. :)

Monday's gift will be this tumbler, with a tag wrapped around it.  This tag was printed and cut with the Imagine, using it's stock colors and Celebrate with Flourish.

The shamrocks from CWF are cut at 2".  The tag is a shape from French Manor, cut at 2.5".  The stamp is from Joann's $1 section and is my touch of gold for the weekly Cricut Circle Blog challenge! 

Here you can see the back of the tumbler, with the cute shamrock plaid pattern.

Hopefully I'll share a tag every day so check back!  You never know what might happen at the end of the week - maybe little leprechauns will want to be good to my visitors! ;)
