How to Make St. Patrick's Day Decorations and Letter Board with Die Cuts

St. Patrick's Day comes and goes pretty quickly, so let's make some simple and festive St. Patrick's Day decorations plus my favorite accessory for every occasion, my letter board.  Today I'll show you how to make this LUCKY banner, which comes together so simply with alphabet dies and the pennant or banner dies. Then we'll add a few other coordinating projects to match!

Below are some closeup shots of the banner. To recreate this project, here's the simple steps:
  1. Die cut one a large pennant seven times from green cardstock. (I used FSJ Limeade Splash.) 
  2. Die cut seven of a smaller pennant from patterned paper. (I chose this pretty plaid print from FSJ's Create and Bloom paper.
  3. Next, die cut the letters, and the shamrocks (Alpha Bold Steel Rule Die, and Lucky Clovers Die Set
  4. Then assemble the banner. Punch holes in the corners and string together with twine or ribbon.






Next, I decided to make a few other little goodies with extra pieces I had diecut. I made a striped treat bag and added a tag that matches the banner. And then just a quick coordinating card to finish of the ensemble. 
And lastly, I have one more little decoration to go along with these projects. I decorated my FSJ Letter Board with a few more die cut shamrocks, plus a medallion made from the Paper Fan Die
And now, I think I'm ready to drink a Shamrock shake, and celebrate the season of leprechauns and rainbows! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a LUCKY day! xoxo
