Saint Patrick's Day Mini Card

Got Green?


It's crazy that March is already half over! But in the spirit of the luck of the Irish, I wanted to post a quick tutorial on a cute mini note card I created.

All of the materials used to make this card came from Stampin' Up.  Here is what I used:
  • Cardstock in Gumball Green
  • Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • Got Treats Stamp Set
  • Gumball Green Ink
  • Black StazOn Ink 
  • 1 3/8 in Circle Punch
  • Word Window Punch
  • Modern Label Punch
  • Dimensionals 

Now, here is what I did:
  1. Cut the gumball green cardstock to be 3 in x 6 in and then scored at 3in.
  2. Cut the designer paper to be 2 7/8 in x 2 7/8 in.
  3. Attached the designer with adhesive to the front of the card.
  4. I then stamped my clover and "Got Green?" stamp with the StazOn ink onto a piece of very vanilla card stock.
  5. Then I stamped the image again, but this time with gumball green ink.
  6. I used the 1 3/8 in circle punch to punch out the black clover, and used my scissors to cut out the green clover.
  7. Next, I used adhesive to attach the circle to my card, and some dimensionals to attach the green clover to my circle (the black background helps with the 3-D effect).
  8. Then I I punched out the black Got Green? saying with the word window punch and used the modern label punch to punch out some gumball green cardstock.
  9. Lastly, I attached the modern label with adhesive under my clover, and again used some dimensionals to attach the saying to the modern label.
  10. And you're done! 
If you pay close attention you will notice that I also blinged out the modern label a little with some sparkle ;) But that part is completely optional. I had a lot of fun making this cute little note card, and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And As Always, Keep Crafting!
