St. Patty's Day Fun with Imaginisce ***Giveaway alert***

Welcome to my blog version of "Click it with Cricut" with Imaginisce! If you haven't come from there, make sure you pop over to the Imaginisce Blog to see what Cari Locken has created as well! She is fabulously talented and classy to boot. I LOVE her work and am so honored to be her partner for this post!

As a redhead and someone who is more Irish than not, I LOVE St. Patrick's Day! On top of the fact that redheads can wear green like nobody's business (don't try to put us in most reds, hot pinks, or oranges... ever!), green is my favorite color and so I LOVE that for one day it is EVERYwhere! 

I wanted to throw some surprising things into the mix with these cards and this is one of them. I used the Halloween seasonal October 31st cartridge for this card. It's not just for Halloween! :) I simply cut off the stick that was coming out of the cauldron to make a pot at the end of the rainbow!

Happy St. Paddy's Day using OCTOBER 31st cartridge.

On this next one, I was trying to show you how versatile the lines are. All the brown paper is from the Cottage Christmas collection and the shamrock is made from the Animal Crackers line. Don't forget about using the paper collections to their full potential! Also, remember you can use all of the Cricut Cake cartridges in your Expression machine like I did here.

Cut yellow polka dotted circle at 2.75"

Cut white layer at 2.75"

Adhere together using foam dots to separate the yellow layer and the white layer to give it dimension.

Lastly, I didn't want to have a post without another shaped card. You do need a Gypsy so create this exact look, but using an eyelet setter and punching eyelets in the top to connect the front and back half will work just as well and will give you two cute bows at the top after you connect them with ribbon or twine!
