St. Patrick's Day Printable Using Dingbats

Pinch-001

Just a quick printable for St. Patrick’s Day. Found a really fun personal use “dingbat” font here . The text is a font called Emerald Isle.

If you’re unfamiliar with dingbat fonts, each letter is its own image. So the clover frame is actually the letter d.


a b c d e f g h I j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z


That’s the whole alphabet! Once you install a dingbat font, you can use in any program just like you would any other font, and the images can be resized. I made this printable using My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software.

Shamrocks Don't Have to Be Green!

I don’t do a ton of decorating for St. Patrick’s day but seeing so many cute ideas inspired me to do SOMETHING. This was a very quick project that I could work into my non-seasonal mantle.

Gold Shamrock

I’ve been neglecting CoCo (my Silhouette Cameo) and she was sitting on my desk, staring at me petulantly. She needed to be involved!

SIlhouette Gold Vinyl

I decided to combine one of the iconic  colors of St. Patrick’s day, gold, with its traditional shape the shamrock, and cut my shamrock from gold Expressions vinyl.  I found this great shape with the swirls in the Silhouette online store.

Gold Shamrock Closeip

I simply framed a piece of green suede / velvet scrapbook paper cut to size and then placed the shamrock on top of the glass. Of course I needed to add some rhinestones because it’s what I do! The center is one black rhinestone with smaller green rhinestones that fortunately fit perfectly around it!

Gold Luck

At the same time I cut my shamrock, I cut the letters LUCK from the same gold vinyl. I absolutely love being able to do exactly what you want in the same project...add a text box on the same page as a shape; choose the font from what's already installed on your computer etc.


Embellished the letters randomly with more black rhinestones. Easy project and the best part is everything was already on hand!

LUCKY I’m In Love With My Best Friend

Happy St. Patrick’s Day whether you’re Irish by ancestry or Irish just for today. There’s the religious history, the folklore history, the modern history, but regardless, there’s the recurring theme of “luck” associated with it so I also view it as a day to celebrate good fortune and things for which I am grateful. Of course that includes the hubs and bubs ( husband and son for those who don’t speak me) whom I tease and joke around with and would be lost without.

I made this to use on a tag for  Mr. Chocolate’s St. Patrick’s Day pot o gold, and am sharing it here as a last minute printable.
Lucky I'm In Love
So with that I wish you:
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
