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.
For the detailed tutorial check out my Countdown to Kisses board here.
Wow! I LOVE it! Both of these {the Valentine's} and this one are absolutely adorable! I would love the files :)! Then I might finally make my very first St. Patrick's Day decoration. This is actually one that I really, really like!!
Love this Beckie!! I'm considering doing a little St. Patrick's day decorating. 🙂
It´s lovely!!! Full of kisses!

I once got me a t-shirt with 'Kiss me, I'm Girish' printed. But no one understood it.
I didn't look at your Kisses tutorial before this one, and didn't realize the circles were actual kisses…I thought you used beer bottle caps for the St. Patty's Day one. You know- beer and Irish;) LOL. Cute either way!

Erin Go Bragh! 😉 Love it!! The patterned paper on the edges is a perfect touch. A nice twist on your countdown board, Beckie. 🙂

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.

Good call it is 1/2″ thick MDF
