I normally don’t send out too many cards for St. Patrick’s Day, but I do have a couple Irish friends that I like to recognize every year. I HAD to use the new Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, Polka Dot Punches, and the heart to make a shamrock! The new large Heart punch makes cutting the heart out a breeze! I’ve been REALLY wanting a heart punch and now we have TWO in the new catalog!
This card is a square card…I know! I don’t make a lot of them, but the shape of the shamrock called out for that size. It is a 5 1/4 square card. I used Chocolate Chip for the base, the layered on Certainly Celery and Garden Green on top of that. Then I used the new Sale-A-Bration Delicate Dots designer paper celery florals. I wanted to add ribbon, so I used the 1" Double Stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain and wrapped it around the back of the Garden Green to secure. It added just the right touch.
The shamrock is three heart Polka Dot stamps stamped with Chocolate Chip and punched with the heart punch. I adhered them to Whisper White and then layered it on Garden Green. The stem is from Cheep Talk and I stamped it in Garden Green. I stamped Celebrate from Fundamental Phrases in Chocolate Chip and punched with the Curly Label punch and tucked it up under the focal point. Last, I pierced the center of the Shamrock and added a green Rhinestone Circle brad to the center. It added just the right touch of BLING! All of it was popped up with dimensionals and secured to the base card! I’m HAPPY with how this turned out!
Enjoy your Super Bowl SUNDAY! For the first year, I really don’t care who wins…although Pittsburgh is close, I kind of like that the Cardinals have never been to a Superbowl.

Connie, I think this card is fantastic. I made something similar today, same colors but I didn’t have the stamp set or DSP so tweaked it just a bit for what I had. I’ll post it sometime this week, would love for you to check it out to see how you inspired me!! Thanks for sharing.

Connie,
