Two St. Patrick's Day Cross Stitch Freebies

Here are two fun, easy to stitch and free patterns that I found on Pinterest. (I always do a reverse Google Image Search to make sure that what I'm stitching isn't stolen and published illegally, and these two make the cut!)

The larger one is a free pattern from Not Forgotten Farm. She has so many wonderful patterns on her site as well as on Etsy. I changed the colors just a bit to make it a little brighter, but I didn't want to go too bright. 

The second pattern is another freebie from Pinker n Punkin called Erin Ewe. Melisa has an amazing website and there are even a couple more free St. Patrick's Day patterns on just that link. (Note: this pattern would have fit perfectly in the square frame if I hadn't accidently added an extra green row above the black belt. It was too much to rip it out, but now I wished I had done so. Still, it's cute!)

One thing that I try to do when I'm making a two or three pieces that I want to display together is that I use some of the same color flosses in each. Here are some of the similar colors that I used in both pieces.

Both frames came from Amazon, which makes it really easy to get these guys framed and on a shelf!

4 Easy Easter Cards

Today's cards were super-easy to make using a paper pad set called Springtime Travel from The Paper Boutique. I did embellish the prints with Stickles, a Stampin' Up! stamp and the sentiments are from Pink & Main.

Here's a picture of the front of the paper pack. I really love this one and will get a lot more use out of it too.

St. Patrick's Day Printables

Because I like to send cards out through The Angel Card Project, I always like to have some on hand for those less celebrated holidays. St. Patrick's Day is one of them.

I did see some amazing clover stamps over at Simon Says Stamp, and really wanted to get them, but with the dies they're $50.00. This year money is a little bit tighter, so I decided to create some printables for St. Pat's Day.

I've already sent one out to a special needs man named Patrick who loves to get dressed up on the 17th! I know he'll like getting this. And the ACP is going to create a post in which people can request St. Patrick's Day cards, so I'll be sure to send out the other two this year.

Mine were made by having them printed at FedEx, but you can certainly print them at home too. I then mounted the images on patterned paper and then on green card stock.

Here are the free digis. As always:

1. Snag it to your desktop or photos.
2. Put it in a Word or Pages Document.
3. Resize it to the size card you want to make.
4. Print it out, either at home or at a copy center. 

I hope you enjoy these freebies! Print them out or share them online. Remember that all images are for personal use only, please! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and have a wonderful day!
