Lucky Clover Door Hanger

Have you caught the St. Patty’s Day green fever yet? No? Well today’s the day. We hope you enjoy this fun lucky clover door hanger created by Designer Nina Yang.

Hello everyone! Nina here to share a quick and easy door hanger with a dimensional 4-leaf clover!

I am always a fan of good basic patterns in cute colors. The Basics line from Pebbles is a must have for me. I just pulled out the greens for today’s project!

I cut the gingham paper to 4-1/4” x 9” and the floral paper to 4-1/4” x 6”, leaving the cute scallop border attached for more visual interest.

I adhered the two panels together, punched a hole, rounded the corners and the base of our door hanger was done!

I was inspired by the beautiful fan-fold butterfly embellishments from Pebbles Garden Party collection and decided to make a fan-fold 4-leaf clover. I drew a clover on some scrap paper to use as a template.

After some struggling, I finally had the pattern figured out! You can find a step-by-step tutorial and download a free pattern on my blog.

I love the dimension these foam thickers add to a project!

Greens always make me happy! I feel lucky already!

Lucky St. Patrick’s Day Layout

Who’s feeling lucky? We are genuinely lucky to work with some of the best designers on the planet! Today’s Designer Candace Zenter is no exception. We love her lucky St. Patrick’s Day layout.

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I was inspired to create a layout using shamrocks, rainbow patterns and my current favorite – gold! Since my family doesn’t typically do a lot to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to take everyday photos and make put a little St. Patty’s Day spin on them. The From Me to You collection had some great papers I could pull out to create an appropriate color scheme.

I grew up always wishing I had a sister so I always tell my girls they are so blessed to each have two sisters. Lucky, lucky girls.

Aren’t the gold Thickers gorgeous?? I have been dying to use them on a project!!

I used a small die from Jaded Blossom to create some tiny shamrocks to sprinkle around my layout. Since I usually have leftover dots (colons and semicolons) in my Thickers sets, I used them to add some small detail to the layout.

I am always a big fan of collections that are very versatile and can be used for numerous themes and occasions. One of the many reasons I love everything from Pebbles!! So much versatility in each and every collection!

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and we thought it would be fun to bring you a little holiday inspiration this week on the site. We’re excited to be kicking things off with some fun shamrock gift toppers created by Amanda Coleman!

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a couple of easy St. Patrick’s Day shamrock gift toppers. It is easy to make an impressive gift topper with only a few basic supplies.

Gift toppers are easy to make and pair well with simple kraft wrapping. For these gift toppers, I paired a variety of green patterned papers with just a touch of gold for a festive St. Paddy’s Day look.

Pair a single shamrock with a tag and decorative clothes pin to create a simple gift topper. Die cut the word lucky out of gold foil paper to add some extra sparkle to your gift.
