Custom Lined Shamrock Stationery

Here you will find a fine selection of shamrock stationery. You will find various designs of shamrocks. Some designs have a shamrock border that go around the page, other designs feature shamrocks that showcase the senders address, and various other placement of shamrocks as well.

This first design features two shamrocks that are trimmed in gold dots - for a touch of elegance and perhaps some thoughts of good luck. The address at the top is easily customized by typing in your information on the provided template form.




For a bit more green and less personalization, you can go for the border of this same shamrock, that is printed around the edge of light green paper.


This third design features a collage of shamrocks, in various shades of green. The design borders both the top and the bottom of the stationery.


Last but not least is this design of a three leaf clover that I painted with a chain pull method. The shamrock is printed at the top left and at the bottom right to indicate the beginning and the end of the letter.


All four designs are lined for easy writing, and keeping things straighter. I don't know about you, but I usually write on an uphill slant when the lines aren't provided.

Here's to you, and lots of good cheery thoughts to share throughout the year.

Irish Dinner Party Ideas and Invitations

Shamrock Image is by the author of this page.

Welcome to my Irish Dinner Party Ideas. Here you will find ideas from start to finish for an Irish dinner, that is both vegetarian and non-alcoholic, as well as green. Yes, Irish dinners can be healthy and evolving.

For an appetizer and or as a side, broccoli sticks (The outer layer of the stalks is removed), celery sticks, and or asparagus spears. You can also use the broccoli florets around the edge of the plate for a floral wreathe type look, or save them for stew. A nice dill dip will go very well with these veggies and will also offer an additional shade of green.

As a side, boiled potatoes with green cabbage makes a delectable option. The cabbage will help to flavor the potatoes nicely. If you want some extra flavor, you can toss in some diced mushrooms and your preferred seasonings. This will go very well with vegetarian chicken patties which can be the main course, if you like. We are quite pleased with the Qorn brand of breaded meatless patties. Sometimes, all that we have are vegetables, and that is good too.

For another main course option, you could make a vegetable stew. Be sure to add some greens such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, green onion, green beans, peas, celery, etc. Portabella mushrooms work great to amp up the flavoring for a more hearty vegetarian stew. For extra heartiness, you can add some beans, like Northern or Cannellini. If you like bread, you can make some Irish soda bread to dip in the stew. However, if you are adding beans to the stew, that will probably be filling enough without the bread. If you don't already have vegetable broth on hand, I recommend the Pacific low sodium vegetable broth.

For dessert, I recommend a yellow or butter cake, with a bit of organic green food coloring, and flavored with mint. Yumm. For a bit of a different flavor, I have used applesauce in the place of an egg for a yellow box cake mix. It turned out super tasty.

For the beverage, you could have green tea or mint tea. Choose decaf or regular, depending on your preference.

And there you have it, enough for a healthy meal where everyone can have plenty to eat and still feel feel good about making healthy choices.

I made the design on these invitations and hope you enjoy them. They are easily personalized online, with your details. They feature a design of my shamrock collage, in various shades of green, on a light green background.


Here are matching paper plates for easy clean up, you can choose from seven and nine inch sizes.


You can also find matching shamrock napkins by CherylsArt at Zazzle.com.

May you have a wonderful time having a healthy green Irish dinner with your family, friends, and/or neighbors. Remember to wear your facemasks when not eating, and to practice safe social distancing.

The Shamrocks are coming

March is the month when people think of green cheer and shamrocks. Here you will find a variety of shamrock designs on various products.

Through the years I've made several different shamrock designs. I love the green, and have always loved four leaf clovers. My dad gave me one in a necklace one time, it was a real shamrock encased in a clear like plastic shell. I always treasured it.

There are matching products of the posted designs below, and many can also be transferred to other products as well.

This first design reminds me very much of the one I saw in the necklace. It was a muted green, and very simple. Here it is printed on custom stickers:




Here is an outline of it that can be colored in by hand, printed on custom canvas bags. I have found that acrylic paint markers for fabric, work pretty well for the coloring. Be sure to add cardboard between the fabric layers before any painting, though, to prevent bleed through of the paint.






On this tshirt, I used both of the above shamrocks to make an overlapping shamrock design. It looks pretty cool.




This collage design of shamrocks, featured on a magnet below, can feature any kind of message, including save the dates, birthday, anniversary, etc.






This single shamrock trimmed in gold dots has a touch of elegance to it. Here it is printed on invitations, which are also downloadable. They are a great choice for weddings.






This clover design is more rounded and is shown here on custom dog tags.





These shamrocks were made from my shamrock collage design. Here they are printed on cornhole game sets. You can select the colors of the bean bags.




There are even more shamrock designs in my CherylsArt store on Zazzle. You can view them here: https://www.zazzle.com/store/cherylsart/shamrock.
