Leprechaun Hat with Rinea

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun decoration for St. Patrick's Day!

This cute Leprechaun Hat is perfect for your table decore or mantle. It's small enough for a child to wear while watching your local parade.

I used a cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs for the hat called you guessed it Leprechaun Hat. Along with some of our wonderful Rinea Foil Paper.

Materials Used

Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper

Rinea Ebony/Ebony Starstruck Foil Paper

Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foil Paper

Simply Crafty SVGs Leprechaun Hat File

Recollection Brand 65lb Cardstock: Emerald Green & White

Xyron Creative Station Lite

Scotch 3M Craft Glue
Brother Scan N Cut Electronic Machine

Let's get started!

I start by downloading and cutting all the pieces of the Leprechaun hat using the Brother Scan N Cut.
I then ran the Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper hat panels and Shamrock,

Rinea Ebony/Ebony Starstruck Foil Paper hatband, and

Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foil Paper hat buckle through the Xyron Creative Station Lite.

I then start adhering the hat base panels together. I apply a bit of adhesive to the tabs and then press the next panel onto the tabs. I continue this for all ten panels. Until I form the crown of the hat.

Next, I adhered the top panel of the crown to close it off. I add some adhesive to one of the tabs and attach the top panel. Once, attached I continue to add adhesive to the rest of the tabs and pressing the top panel into place. I flip the hat over and press the tabs from the inside against the table to make sure they are secure.

Then, I form the brim of the hat. I add a bit of adhesive to one of the tabs. I press the two panels together. You will have a ring.

I then flip the crown upside down and attach the brim to it. I add a bit of adhesive to one of the tabs and press onto the inside of the crown. I then move to an opposite tab to repeat the process. I continue all around the brim until it's completely attached to the crown.

Next, I flip the hat right side up and start attaching the Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper hat panels. I take my time to center each panel on the hat. You should have a nice border all around each Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper hat panels.

Then, I attach the two pieces of the hatband which I have cut from Rinea Ebony/Ebony Starstruck Foil Paper and plain white cardstock*(you don't have to do this I just wanted it to have more firmness). I then add some adhesive to the back of the hatband in a few sections and press onto the hat. Making sure to leave a bit of space at the base of the brim. Next, I layer the Shamrock which I have cut from Rinea Ebony/Ebony Starstruck Foil Paper onto the buckle which I have cut from Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foil Paper. I attached the buckle onto the hatband using some tiny Zot Dots.

Now, the little Leprechaun Hat is complete!

Springtime Vardo with Simply Crafty SVGs

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Springtime Vardo.

I used Simply Crafty SVGs cut file called you guest it Vardo

Followed the YT video created by the owner of Simply Crafty SVGs

She gives you super easy to follow instructions. If you prefer and written version of the instruction you can always refer to the PDF that is provided with the purchase of the file.

What is a Vardo:

A vardo (also wag(g)on, living wagon, van, and caravan) is a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by British Romani people as their home. Possessing a chimney, it is commonly thought of as being highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded. The British Romani tradition of the vardo is seen as a high cultural point of both artistic design and a masterpiece of woodcrafters art. The heyday of the living wagon lasted for roughly 70 years, from the mid-1800s through the first two decades of the twentieth century. Not used for year-around living today, they are shown at the Romanichal horse fairs held throughout the year, the best known of which is Appleby Horse Fair.

This is my take of the Vardo.

A Little Kindness Card With Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a cute and easy card featuring Poppy Stamps and Dies.

Let's get started!

I gathered all the materials for the card.

I die cut all the components and trimmed my cardstock and pattern paper. I die cut the trees twice.

I stamped my sentiment onto white cardstock. I matted the light blue cardstock onto the yellow pattern paper.

Then, I adhered the green hill to the panel. Next, I adhered the light green trees onto the dark green trees. I wanted a lighter feel to the tree.

Next, I put the little sheep together. I used foam adhesive on the back of the sheep's body. I inlayed the head of the sheep. Then, I attached the legs with a bit of liquid and foam adhesive. Next, I adhered the hair and ears.

Then, I used the Gelly Roll Pen in glitter to make small u shapes and dots on the sheep's body. I used a white Gelly Roll pen for the eyes.

I removed the backing from the adhesive and pressed the sheep into place.

I adhered the card front panel to the card base.

Next, I adhered the flowers and the sentiment to the card panel. Then, I added a drop in each flower center of Nuvo Crystal Drops in pale gold.

Now, the card is complete!

Materials Used:

Poppystamps Die: Simple Sheep

Poppystamps Die: Sloping Hillside

Poppystamps Stamp Set: Little Kindness

Tsukineko Versafine Clair: Nocturne
