St. Patrick’s Day Treats
Hello everyone!! This is Amy and I am excited to get to share with you something fun I made to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I really love St. Patrick’s Day…….probably because that is the day that I became a mom. My oldest was born on March 17th and so it is always fun to put together something for her as well as for the family on that day.
I created these really fun treats and straws to share with you. I used the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive St. Patrick’s Day Cartridge.
For the straws, I cut and then assembled the “Kiss me I’m Irish” image at 2 ¼ inches and then just taped them to the front of these fun green and white party straws.
These treat bags were really easy to make. I used some sucker bags that can be found at most craft stores and filled them with some chocolate coins. I used the Elegant Edges cartridge to cut out the bag topper in green and then folded it in half. I then added some white cardstock and the rainbow image from the St. Patrick’s Day digital cartridge cut at 1 ½ inches. I finished it off with a little glitter, bakers twine and some pen stitching.
The popcorn boxes are cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More digital cartridge at 6 inches. It is really easy to get two of these onto one cardstock piece by arranging them in the Cricut Craft Room. I added some glitter to the scallop edges and then assembled the box. The fun little pot of gold image is from the St. Patrick’s Day cartridge cut at 1 ¾ inches. I love the look that the glitter adds to the “gold” in the pot. I finished it off by tying the box with some bakers twine.
I hope that this can help you get some ideas and inspiration on how to celebrate this fun holiday with your family.

Leaping into March
Usually March is known for coming “In like a Lion . . . “, but this year we are leaping into March like a frog . . . with Leap Year, that is!
Do you know anyone who was born on Leap Year? Or maybe someone in your life who is making a “Leap of Faith” with a big change in their life right now? Why not send them a Leap Year card to celebrate. Or maybe you like to celebrate the “Wearin’ O’ the Green” and are looking for a St. Patrick’s Day card idea Check out this cute card design by Cindy Royal below where she shows us how one card design can be used for two different occasions!
HAPPY LEAP DAY by Cindy Royal
With a few quick changes, this Leap Day card design serves double-duty by becoming a St. Patrick’s Day card!
Cindy changed the heart to a shamrock on the tummies of the frogs and also switched out the the lily pad the frogs are sitting on to a shamrock lily pad. By using the editing features in Cricut Craft Room, Cindy was able to stretch and “flatten” a shamrock shape for the frogs to sit on. So clever!
