While not everyone decorates for Saint Patrick’s Day, it’s a really great way to cheer up the end of winter before we switch to spring decor and Easter decorating. I love to keep things simple in my seasonal home decor and especially love to avoid clutter in my home decorating.

That’s why I love printables. I can switch up the art in a frame easily and for just the cost of printer paper (and ink), it’s practically pennies for a fresh seasonal piece of decor.

This year for Saint Patrick’s Day printable decor, I decided to hand letter Irish blessings. I love how these blessings, also known as Irish prayers are such a positive reminder throughout our day. Wishing the best for those we love and those who enter our home? What more could we ask for, really.

I chose to hand letter two Irish Blessings for these free printables. They read:

Today I’m excited to share this Influence of a Good Teacher SVG file with you! While my kids just got out of school for the summer a few days ago, I know so many families are already gearing up to send their kiddos back to school already.

Whether you’re a teacher or school staff working to make a welcoming space with door or bulletin board decorations or a parent wanting to personalize some gifts for their kids new teachers, this eraser illustrated SVG file will help you recognize the influence of a great teacher… in craft form 😉

Today I’ve teamed up with a couple other SVG designers to share free cut files for your back to school crafting projects! You can see those at the bottom of the post, but first? Let’s take a look at this ‘the influence of a good teacher can never be erased’ hand lettered SVG file with an eraser illustration that I’ve made for you!

This design is hand illustrated by me and reads, ‘the influence of a good teacher can never be erased’. You know I had to put it on a classic pink eraser for nostalgia points.

This file makes for the perfect teacher gifts, I’ve shown it here on a mug, notebook and tote bag. I know teachers are always carrying things to and from their vehicle especially as they prepare for a great school year, so a tote bag might be a really great gift for a new teacher or recent teacher graduate!

You could even add an ‘est 2024’ text to the design if you’re gifting this to a new teacher who just has graduated like I did on the black mug. 

I had fun adding this design on to some other physical items like tote bags, paper crafts cards and notebooks but what I’d love to see someone do is add just the line art layer with iron on vinyl and let your kiddos paint the eraser with watercolor for beautiful handmade gifts from kids- how special would that be? 

No matter what different things you decide to use it on though? Super cute, I tell ya!

There are two layers to this free teacher appreciation SVG file. The background (color) is one layer, the illustrated eraser and hand lettering is another layer. This means you can use different materials super easily as you’re crafting to use up scraps of vinyl and craft supplies. 

You can also make projects with just one layer of this good teacher SVG if you prefer (you know that’s always my preference!).

When you see this dog mom design… who do you think of? Guaranteed someone pops into your head! There’s always that one friend that’s a total dog mom 😉 Or maybe, it’s you! No matter the dog lover, this free dog mom SVG file is perfect for any gifts headed their way.

The paw print is on a separate layer from the dog lettering and the mom lettering. This makes it easy to customize your shirt design (or other craft projects!) with different colors for each piece. You can even just use the paw SVG for an extra simple design.

With Mother’s Day coming up quickly, today I’m excited to join up with some awesome SVG designers to offer free files with a mom theme! For my free file I’ve hand lettered this cute bumble bee ‘mama to bee’ SVG file for the mom to be in your life! This is such a fun but simple file, perfect for cards or coffee mugs or even shirts to announce your 

You can see the rest of the free cut files for Mother’s Day at the bottom of the post, but first? Let’s take a look at this free mama to bee SVG file that I’m sharing with you!

I made this free SVG file with my fave brush lettered style, it’s modern and playful and perfectly simple. I added a hand drawn bumble bee. I’ve made it into two separate layers so you can easily re-color just the bee if you like without any kind of contouring in Cricut Design Space (or other design program).

I lettered these tags a few years ago, by hand with a Tombow Fude and scanned them in to make this printable. I love how simple they are to make them relevant for any occasion… or no occasion! I’ve honestly used these for SO many things over the years.

If you want to drop cookies on a neighbours doorstep when they’ve had a bad week- add a tag. No card is needed, really but this way you can say who they’re for and sign your name.

Giving out swag bags after a baby shower? Why not tie these to each with a note saying ‘thank you for celebrating with us!’ on the back?

​Have you heard of self care punch cards? Habit punch cards? You can really use the punch card system for so many different themes. Today I’m sharing a simple design with fun hand lettering for adults and kids- I’ve included my own suggestions for things you can track, good habits, positive character traits and hard things we need to do in this life- but I’ve also made a blank design so you can use it for whatever you like!

Remember when you were a kiddo and you’d get a punch on your card for reading a book or completing a task in your classroom? How good did that feel?!

I was chatting with a friend last year and we were celebrating a hard decision she’d made- saying no to something that seemed great, but she knew wasn’t a fit with her goals. You deserve a gold star!  We laughed about it but the more we chatted, the more we all agreed that would be so great to celebrate our successes for these hard adult things the way that we did when we were kids.

I did a quick survey of friends on the seemingly silly or insignificant goals or self care things they were working on and then I got busy making these cute punch cards. And when my kids saw them- they wanted some too!

I’ve made two full pages of different free printable reward punch cards for you to use as you chase those goals, do the hard work, or whatever you’re wanting to celebrate with these reward cards. The first page is designed for adults with 8 grown-up self care style goals. They’re like behavior punch cards but for our own behaviour, ha! 

The second page is designed for kids and includes one blank goal card so you can track whatever goal you want with the same punch card program. Reading punch card? Sure! Occupational therapy exercises punch card? Okay! Academic progress cards, slept the night in their own bed cards, made it to my therapy appointment cards, acts of kindness cards, supported a small business card… whatever you’re dreaming, friend 😉

This year when I asked my kids what types of cards they’d like to hand out for valentines day at school, my son told me he just wanted simple valentines cards that say, ‘happy valentine’s day’. Not a funny pun saying how much he likes everyone or asking anyone to be his valentine or a card expressing his valentine’s day love being out of this world.

He wanted a simple card and didn’t care which color or shape or design… only that it was a basic valentine greeting. You got it, kid! 

Typically I’d tell him to pull out the construction paper and design his own card… but now that I have a site full of free printable card templates… I figured it was the perfect opportunity to not just create a boring ol’ design but a suite of fun valentine’s cards with a few color scheme options and a modern feel. 

So today I’m excited to share these printable valentine’s day cards as a free download with you! This is the 9th valentine card I have shared this year… you can see them all at the bottom of this post!

They’re perfect for older kids that don’t want to find the right words in a pack of childish valentines cards, but they’re also perfect for me… Or other adults like me that want to send lots of love to their girlfriends even if it’s been a long time since they got to see them every day at school (and voice text about how much grocery prices have jumped). If you end up with one of these in your mailbox, friend…  wish I got to see you every day at school 😉

I’m sure it’s no surprise to you… Taylor Swift is trending this year! I don’t share much about my personal life here on the blog but I’m a big fan… you could call me a Swiftie 😉 I was lucky enough to attend the Era’s tour with my own friends last summer and now that the Eras tour is coming to Canada, I’m excited to be going again… this time with my niece and daughter.

It’s been so fun for us to bond over Taylor swift and all the fan theories, best lyrics, themed outfits and perhaps most of all, friendship bracelet making. 

I’ve been busy creating printable pack after pack of free printable valentines cards this last week- you can see even more of the printable selection of valentines at the bottom of the post. And since we’re sharing personal tidbits in this post today, two of the valentines cards I’m sharing this year are pretty much a cutesy version of tattoos I have. Can you guess which one from this set I might have? Haha!

While I was taking requests from the kids for printable valentines designs, my daughter (and I’m sure thousands of other little girls) requested Taylor Swift valentines to hand out to her friends at school. 

Her and I worked together, her suggesting song lyrics and me lettering them while she approved each design. We got a bit carried away and ended up creating 3 pages of these printable paper cards making for 27 different TS Valentines cards to choose from in shades of red and pink with white hand lettering. 

Now that these are ready to go, we’ll be spending our Sunday watching the Super Bowl and Travis Kelce (or ‘Taylor’s boyfriend’ as my daughter prefers to call him) while beading friendship bracelets… and maybe wearing red sweaters IYKYK;)

The boys in our house are such soccer fans. Two of them requested soccer themed valentines cards to hand out this year. Over candy, even!

The past few years I just let them pick store bought valentines day cards (from the dollar store kind of quality) but there’s no soccer specific ones and this year, since I’m sharing free printables with you here all the time, I thought I’d make my own for my little soccer player team! 

Wait… soccer? I think you mean football! Here in Canada, we call football soccer and American football just football. 

I asked the soccer lovers in my house for any input on what phrases or sentiments they’d like to see and other than asking for a Messi valentine card (which I assured them I could not draw well- lol!) they were pretty open to my ideas.

I chose to add a fun grass themed background instead of a typical white background and instead add white lettering and a white soccer ball, some in the shape of the heart and some just with one little heart shape on them. I really love how the white details pop against the grass background.

They’re the perfect valentine for the sports fans in your life!

We created 8 unique designs of this soccer valentine card, all hand lettered by me with little hearts to top all of the ‘i’s (of course). They print all 8 to one sheet with a space to write names on the reverse. The reverse side says ‘Happy Valentines’

The phrases on the cute valentine cards include:

• Have a Ball This Valentines
• Soccer has my heart + so do you!
• Happy Valentines Day
• Hey Valentine, I like how you roll!
• I get a kick outta you!
• Love (with a heart shaped soccer ball for the O)
• I really scored with you as a friend!
• You’ve got game, valentine!

I’m not sure about your kids, but mine are always begging to give out candy cards on valentine’s. I’ve said no some years and others I’ll cave.

This year I wanted to do something a bit more fun than just taping some pink smarties to a store bought card, so I designed these free printable sucker tags for my oldest son to hand out. I’ve actually created a ton of free valentines this year, one for each of my kids and a handful that just felt fun to make. See them all at the bottom of this post.

These ones? I had direct orders, ha! He was pretty specific that they couldn’t be ‘cringe’ and say how much he loves everyone with some kind of heartfelt poem.

Fair enough, but I had to sneak in some delightful puns, I am a mom after all and I love joke valentine cards more than anything 😉

These are an easy valentine’s day handouts for a large group- whether you’re looking for your kid’s middle school classroom’s valentine or if you’re a teacher, you can use these printables as valentines day student gift tags- I mean, why not bribe those high school students into some quiet independent work with a sucker or lollipop? 

This free valentines printable comes with 8 different sweet themed valentines day cards all hand lettered by me.

The phrases on the cute valentine flags include:

• I’m a sucker for you, valentine (x3)
• Happy Valentines Day to you!
• Happy Valentines Day
• Have a Sweet Valentines Day
• You’re sweet, Valentine
• Hope your Valentines Day is Sweet!
