St Patricks Day Theme Challenge at My Sheri Crafts Blog

This is the second challenge this month with a St. Patricks Day theme. Honestly it has been quite fun. This theme has made me think out of the box. Plus, using my Sizzix Texture Boutique is a blast. Embossing is soooo much fun!! It really makes my projects "POP". My project is simple yet fun. Enjoy!!

Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cutting Machine

Cricut Cartridge; Winter Frolic

Solid Cardstock

Glitter Glue

Sure Cuts A Lot or Design Studio

Shamrock SVG File

Blade 6, Speed Min or Low, Pressure High


Instructions;

Cut 1- 3 in Girl 4 (tag) from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge, 4 different sizes of Shamrocks on the Sure Cuts Alot Program (No larger than 2 in). Also, I used the flip function on my computer program to get the shamrocks facing different directions. Really simple to do.

Cut a mat a little less than 3 in wide and little less than 4 in high. Then emboss it with a template you may have.

Place the mat on the tag. Add the shamrocks in the pattern which is shown in the photo. Use glitter glue to add the accents to the shamrocks and the embossed mat. Now, add some sparklie yard or thread through the hole. With a small tipped black pen draw stitching marks around the edge of the tag.
