Happy (late) St. Patty's Day

Hello crafty friends!

It has been so very long since I have been able to post.  The past five-ish months have been not so great, health-wise for me.  This disease is never fun, but some times are just way harder than others.  The past five months, I haven't done nearly the crafting that I hoped to do, and that makes me sad. :(

But I was able to make a few projects, and I will try to post those that I took pictures of here in the next week or so.   Since yesterday was St. Patty's Day, I will show my cards that I made for it! :)  Did you all wear your GREEN!?!? :)  

Here is my little leprechaun friend.  I had so much fun making these cards.  This is one of my favorite holidays anyway, so it's always fun! :)

And here are the cards I made using him (and different versions of him.)

Gatefold version:

Lady Leprechaun:

For this card, it is a Z-fold card, and I made it so when it opens up, the boy and girl leprechaun hold hands!

Here is a card I made showing a pint of green beer!

I don't know if you can tell, but I cut the mug out in vellum, and also in acetate.  I embossed the vellum cut with the distressed stripes cuttlebug folder, to make it look more like the beer stein shape, and the vellum gave it the "frosty" appearance.  Then, the acetate was cut to make it look like glass.   I wish my camera took more clear photos!

Here are my Shamrock cards:

For these next 2 shamrock cards, I made the shamrocks using a 'love' heart stamp that I got from Hobby Lobby. (I don't remember the brand.)

....And the final shamrock card:

 Oh, and I decorated all of the envelopes like this too!

 Boy, it feels good to be able to post again!!!  Thanks for stopping by and looking at my projects!  I'm off to look at all of your blogs now!! YAY!!
