TODAY ONLY: Free SVG Blog Hop

Welcome!  So glad you're here!
 If you came from "Patterns by Sher" you are in the right place.  If not, here is the complete list of Blogs participating:
 http://c90designs.blogspot.com/ 
This is the first Blog Hop I've ever participated in so I hope that you'll find something here to get you creating.  Be sure to collect all the free SVG files I've posted since the blog was started in January---check the "Blog Archive" for the list.  I also have several free projects available plus lots of tips and techniques. 

Below are the Three Free SVG Files I have for you TODAY ONLY
(If you can not use SVG files, scroll down for a special offer)
Time to get your green on with a lucky pot of gold and a little leprechaun . 
I cut the pot out of green and gold paper and then accented with gold Stickles. 
I stamped the sentiment. 
On the leprechaun I used green Stickles to accent the shamrock and bow tie.  Then I added gold Stickles buckles on his hat and shoes.  I chalked shadows and his cheek and drew the facial features on with a Sharpie.  All ready to go on a card, use for cupcake toppers or any other St. Patrick's Day decoration I might need. 
EDIT:  These files are no longer available for free. 
You may purchase them in this set HERE.
Now some tags I created using the "Shamrocks" file previously posted and available in the
set sold above. 
I cut this file out of acetate and used it as a mask on the tag. 
On the tag above I took the piece of acetate left from cutting out the mask and laid it on the tag, matching up the shamrock openings.  Then I stamped in the uninked area.  I cut a "pot o' gold", chalked in shading and stamped the sentiment on it.   The little boy is from a copy of a vintage post card from MAGIC MOONLIGHT.
I used the same mask technique on this tag but then ran it through the Texture Boutique.  I added a book page "fringe".  The little girl is from a copy of a vintage postcard from MAGIC MOONLIGHT

I'm sure there are some people checking the blog today that either don't know what a SVG file is or do not have the software to work with SVGs.  First of all, if you want to know more about how you can expand your creativity, check my recent post HERE.  Even if you're not ready to commit to SCAL today, it never hurts to start building your SVG collection when you find free files....
like those offered in today's SVG Blog Hop!
SORRY-OFFER BELOW HAS EXPIRED
TODAY ONLY...SPECIAL OFFER FOR NON-SVG USERS...
Would you like to try the masking technique shown in the above tags (and explained further HERE)? I will cut an acetate mask of the shamrock file shown above and send it to you.  Offer limited to the first 15 people who email me their name and address:  creative@avci.net.

Finally, Here is the SVG file the "Easter Bully" (aka Louie) wanted me to post for you...
I used a fine point Sharpie to add the whiskers and a white gel pen to add the highlights in the eyes.  SORRY-FILE NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Thanks for visiting!   
I hope you enjoyed your time here at "The Creative Pointe". 
Please visit again...I'd love for you to become a follower. 
I post free files and projects frequently.
