If you can’t be there to look for that pot of gold, send a little Irish luck instead with a festive St. Patrick’s Day greeting card. It may not be your typical day to give cards, but who really needs an occasion to send a little green pick-me-up to your loved ones?

You can look to leprechauns, rainbows, golds, greens, and clovers for some inspiration. I’ve made a few cards below. You can watch the crafty tutorial below or over on YouTube.

Supplies


Lucky You card

I blended green distress inks on my cardstock. Then I use this ornate metal die to cut cut out a background piece to go over top. I made a strip of vellum, then I used this lucky word die to cut out my sentiment out of glitter paper. I then adhered these gems over top for added sparkle.

Rainbow Leprechaun card

I used this masking tape to mask off stripes. Then I blended distress inks in rainbow order. I then cut a circle out of my card front. I stamped and colored this leprechaun onto a back panel so my rainbow panel was now a window panel. I heat embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set and added these clear sequins. I trimmed down the panel and added it to a fog gray notecard.

Leprechaun Shaker card

I cut a square window front panel. Then I colored in the back panel so it would should through the square. I used this St Patrick’s Day stamp for all of the images. I then made my shaker window with foam tape and acetate. I used these fabulous gold sequins for the shaker card. Then I stamped a leprechaun and St Paddy’s day sentiment to finish the card.

Good luck card

I blended more distress inks in a color combination inspired by Kristina Werner. Then I used this strong double sided tape on the panel. I then used this brush to add these gold gilding flakes to where the tape was. I then heat embossed my Good Luck sentiment from this stamp set. I like how the heat embossing was messy so I just went with it.
