I realised that I should at least have a couple St. Patrick’s Day cards at the craft fair this Saturday (Whitehorn Community Hall, 9am-5pm, if you’re in the Calgary area!), so I whipped these up:
I bought the shamrock ribbon, and rhinestone shamrocks at Michaels. I just grabbed all my green papers and went to it. My favourite part is the grass I put on two of the cards:
While at Michaels, I saw that Martha has a spring ‘Grass’ paper punch out. I am getting quite the collection of punches, so I opted not to buy (I felt so strong!). I came home and dug out my Martha Stewart ‘Icicle’ punch. If you punch it in green, and stick it on the card the other way up, it looks like grass! I sponged the grass for the two cards different colours, so it would blend nicely with each. I’ve used up all my shamrock bling, but I still have a ton of that ribbon.
My other favourite thing is how I cut the stem of Tilda’s shamrock so I could put it on either side of her hand, to make it look like she is hanging off it.
And lucky for me, All That Scraps is looking for St. Patrick’s Day cards! Stamp Something is also looking for green (and cream) on your cards.
