Believe in Luck Board
I came across this quote the other day! It struck me, what a great quote and it goes hand in hand with St. Patrick’s day. I knew I needed to make something with this quote on it! I followed my heart and resulted in using my trusty vinyl and boards!!! I wanted this quote to be fairly large, I picked out a thin larger board for this project. First we painted the boards white. While they were drying I set up the word template using my personal cutting machine. I chose to cut most of the wording out of a dark green vinyl. I knew I wanted the Luck cut in…

I’ll pinch you back
Avry asked me the other day “Do you ever get tired of just doing wood boards with vinyl on them?” What do you think readers? Are you tired of just seeing creations of wood and vinyl? I don’t ever get tired of them. I guess I am easily amused! Here is another wood and vinyl creation. Avry texted me this cute saying, while she was laying in bed one night she had an ah ha moment. She thought up this fun saying ” if you pinch me, I’ll pinch you back.” I decided to take her fun little saying and put in on a board yes a board in vinyl as a…

Glittered Shamrock layered bead board sign
I just love the holidays and making new decorations for each one. I don’t have very many St. Patrick’s decorations. I decided to make a few more to add to my collection this year. I decided to make this fun layered bead board sign. I started out by cutting bead board 10″ by 12″ , next I cut a thin piece of particle board 7″ by 10″. I painted the bead board a fun lime green color and painted the particle board black. While the boards were drying, using my personal cutting machine I cut 6 shamrock shapes out of 2 shades of green vinyl and gold vinyl. I also…

I Don’t Need Luck St. Patrick’s Day Board
I Don’t Need Luck St. Patrick’s Day Board I found this idea for this St Patrick’s Day Board here. I basically followed her same idea. It was really simple to re-create. First I measured some scrap boards I had. Then created the wording on my silhouette to match the size of my board. I cut the wording in white vinyl. Next, I painted my board a lime green, because that is what I had on hand. I bought a gallon of lime green paint about 2 years ago in the mis-tints section for $5 and it’s only about half gone. I usually try and make do with supplies I already…

Leprechaun Shoe’s
Leprechaun Shoes The idea of little Leprechauns running around is so magical especially for kids!!! I kept envisioning what kind of shoes or socks the little Leprechauns would wear. This is what I came up with and if the shoe fits, they would probably look like this. I cut the shoes on my silhouette machine and made little shoe buckles with a lot of gold glitter. I hand cut 2 rectangles and then tapered them at the bottom for legs, added green glitter on the legs to make striped socks. Next I glued the legs on some plaid patterned paper, then layered it onto a polka dot patterned…

Luck Burlap Board
Luck Burlap board I also found this cute idea on burton avenue blog. Once again her free cut file has expired but maybe because I am only 2 years late finding this cute idea. Really, this is quite a simple project to accomplish. I typed the word LUCK into my silhouette program and used my own fonts to create a template. I cut my template onto freezer paper and made a stencil. Then I painted a board I cut to the same size as my template. I grabbed this fun lime green paint and painted my board. I cut a square of burlap to match the size of the board…

Lucky Like a Four leaf Clover
Lucky like a Four Leaf Clover I have always loved the saying Lucky like a four leaf clover. I just haven’t found any printables or ideas with this saying that I loved or really cared for. This year for some reason, I am really amping up my St Patrick’s décor’. I accepted my own challenge to create something with this saying to display in my home. Last year over at Burton Avenue blog she offered this free cut file of these darling shamrocks with in a shamrock. Unfortunately, now it is no longer a freebie (dang if you missed out!). But you can purchase other items in her etsy shop.…

Rustic Lucky Friend Board
Rustic Lucky Friend Board I saw a picture of this Four leaf clover and I tried doing some searches, but in the end all I found was this picture and one someone had taken it with their phone. I knew I wanted to recreate this some how. I loved how the words were inside the shamrock and how it was kind of rustic looking. I used my Silhouette machine ( It never gets turned off, poor machine). The silhouette machine has a really awesome trace feature that you can watch here silhouette. I knew this project was a possiblity with just using the picture. I really do try to…

St. Patrick’s clover pillow
St. Patrick’s clover pillow I posted this pillow idea in my seed packet tutorial. Like I said “I may just have to make me a pillow like that”. I got right on it!!! Here is my copycat version of this unavailable for purchase pillow. first I made a templet out of freezer paper, using my silhouette machine. I ironed the freezer paper onto a cream fabric square, I cut. I painted over the wording black and the clover green. I let it dry and then peeled off the freezer paper. next I used some painters tape and measured out 2 thin lines on each side of the design.…

Irish Blessing Wood Home Decor’
Irish Blessing Decor’ I love these Irish blessings or proverbs. There are some that are very complimentary and nice but I do love a good laugh. That is why I choose this one funny little saying to spruce up my home! Using some wood scraps or any wood you have kicking around paint them black. The background is a great geometric pattern. You can cut a template using contact paper on your personal cutting machine. Next placing the pattern over the painted board. You’ll want to use a gold permanent marker to color in the design. Next cut the Irish saying in green vinyl. The original plan was to place…
