LEAPIN LEPRECHAUNS! STAMPIN' UP CELEBRATE BANNER
(Click the banner and party supply pictures to go to a previous blog post explaining how to make these). Full instructions for St. Patrick's overlay are below.
For the St. Patricks overlay, there were 4 additional banner pieces in the kit, so I just simply added the St. Patrick's elements to two of the banner pieces, and clipped on the shamrocks and added green crepe streamers with a fabulous green/gold and coral rosette and voila, you are ready for the leprechaun! Two more banners to spare in the kit? I think Peter Cottontail will make an appearance here soon :). I used 14 punches on this puppy (I was certainly punchy when I finished it at 1am)!
You want one, don't you? We will make these banners at a class at my home in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, March 15th at 7 pm. In order for me to pre-order the banners in time, I need folks to sign up and pay asap. This is sure to be a very popular class, so don't delay! Deadline to order for the class is Tuesday, March 4th so that I can preorder the supplies.

Instructions for leprechaun overlay: (instructions for basic banner on previous post here)
Rosettes: cut two 2"x11" strips and run through big xl rosette die (Tip, I tape it a little on the ends to keep it from slipping). Attach them end to end with double sided tape and then attach them to each other forming a circle. Then push the center down and use hot glue to adhere the inside edges to each other. Punch large scallop (2 3/8") from gold foil paper, then 1 3/4"scallop from coral or cantaloupe designer paper from add on kit, pistachio pudding 7/8" scallop and then adhere them each to each other with designer faceted button in center all with glue dots or glue gun. Spritz 2 squares of the tissue paper with 1/2 water 1/2 alcohol and 10 drops of coral ink until desired color, then let dry. Spritz the other two squares of the tissue paper with gumball green and wild wasabi mixed in water alcohol mixture. Let dry. cut strips in the tissue (see instructions in kit) Remove the adhesive backing as you roll it in on itself. Rubber band the two together then hot glue the rubber band area to the back of the rosette (that way you can detach the green if need be for the standard birthday banner). adhere gumball green bow to base of rosette with glue dot. Glue gun an opened paper clip to the back so you can just hang it on the end of the banner making it easy to remove for other banner configurations.

hat brim: word window (garden green)
clover on hat: itty bitty clover (gold foil)

Assemble with glue dots and snail or doublesided tape.
Adhere googly eyes, draw on mouth (I traced around spare word window), dots on shirt.
rainbows: Use biggest smooth circle and next smallest circle to make a red ring, (see how here) then next smallest and next smallest with pumpkin pie, next smallest and next smallest with daffodil delight, you get the picture... garden green, tempting turquoise, then rich razzleberry. Cut one more of the largest circles in red and put the smallest circle you used in the middle making a huge donut liked shaped circle. Then adhere the rings to the circle with double sided tape and cut in half, making two rainbows. Cut white clouds with word bubble framelits. Adhere to rainbows.
