Kiss me Im Irish

My family always made a big deal out of St. Patrick’s.   My dad is of Irish decent, however, he is not full-blooded. With as big of a deal as he made out of St. Patty’s you would have thought he had lived his whole life in Ireland.   We had corned beef and cabbage (blech!), had to wear green, and there were years he the day off work to celebrate the day by going with my sisters to an Irish pub to drink green beer. So in honor of his favorite holiday I made a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” Board.

I used the same directions I gave you for the Countdown to Kisses board.   I used Emerald Green spray paint by Krylon.   The paper I got at Michaels and is the Green Damask by Recollections. I drilled 20 spots rather than 14 like I did on the Countdown to Kisses board.   Since I had a spray paint accident on the sides thought it added some flare I added strips of coordinating paper to the sides of the board with Mod Podge as well.

Then I cut out circles of red lips instead of a countdown. No need to countdown if you celebrate it year round, right? {giggle}.

I cut it all out with my super awesome Silhouette machine.   If you have a Silhouette and would like the files click here to download them for free.

  7. In your tutorial it does not say how thick the board is. Is it 3/4 ? doesn’t look like 1/2
    Getting ready to make one and was wondering.
    Thanks!
