Happy St. Patrick’s Day

>> Tuesday, February 18, 2020

Hi Everyone!

That Valentine's Day is in the rearview mirror for the year, it's on to some St. Patrick's Day cards for me.  

Inspired by the lovely green and white color combo my team mate Robin used on her cards in last weeks post, I decided to try that myself.  While my card is a lot less elegant, I'm still buoyed by the cheerful and fresh look.

I stamped the white die cut panel using the Small Shamrock Group stamp in dark green ink.  After attaching it to a lighter green panel I wrapped it with ribbon and tied a bow.   After stamping and die cutting the Love & Laughter Friends Greeting, I attached it to the base and added a Four Leaf Clover that was colored and fussy cut.


After I finished this card, I had the other half of my green cardstock staring up at me.  I wanted to used it up, but wanted something quick and easy.  I decided to make a "hat", but with a strip of paper for the brim, it would be too big for a regular A2 envelope.  So I left it off.  My advice would be to make the card 3 3/4" wide, and then added a strip of green 4 1/4" long under the black band.  That would have solved my problem had I thought about it :)

So as you can see, I just stamped the Tiny Happy St. Pat's Day and heat embossed it in white.  I punched out a buckle from glitter coated sticker paper and added the Four Leaf Clover for embellishment.

Karin, two great cards! The first is happy and sweet and I love the ribbon you used as well. It is fun when our cards inspire each other. Your second one is very creative and super fun! Brilliant use of left over card stock! Great St. Pat's Day creations. Hugz

These are terrific, Karin! I love your St. Paddy's Day card. All the shamrocks on the first are so cute & look like spring. Your second is wonderful! Love the gold belt buckle is perfect & just the right size for the greeting.

Wonderful St. Patrick's Day cards Karin! I can definitely see a bit of Robin influence peeking out of the first one (especially the bow :) but it's definitely the "hat" card that's stealing the show! A true representation of CAS since it is so simple but packs a huge punch!
