I made this yesterday and wanted to share it with you!…{free printable link below the break}
I came across this idea over at Landee See, Landee Do. She has so many fun ideas! She had made this adorable specimen art and offered a free printable of it, which I quickly downloaded. I decided I wanted to make mine 3-D, so I sat down to cut out the shamrocks from a second print out. I quickly realized how tedious that was going to be, especially since I somehow lost my good detail scissors that I bought at Joann’s.
Then I realized I could just make my own art and use my Silhouette to cut out the second set. So, that’s what I did. I attached the cut outs with double-sided foam tape to give them a 3-D raised effect. I picked up this frame at Michael’s yesterday for about $4! Score!
I just love the way it turned out! Thank you for a great idea, Landee!

Such a cute printable, Thanks Emily! I also LOVED the rainbow treat bags! I am such a slacker when it comes to holiday themes....
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is a super easy way to throw out a little festiveness. You don't even have to make it 3D
DeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and was delighted to read you have 5 boys...so do I:)!!
My boys are 15 down to 5.
I am loving your site...very inspiring!!
Mine are 3 to 10 and then an 18 year old. Life with all boys is certainly something I never dreamed of coming from a family of seven girls! I'm not sure I'm the best boy mom but I try! Thanks for commenting!
