Elevate Your Greetings with 12+ Shamrock Card Ideas for Spring and St. Patrick’s Day
This Spring and St. Patrick’s Day, spread the luck and joy with handmade shamrock cards. Here are creative ideas to inspire your card-making endeavors:
These pretty cards use Shamrock’s for shaker elements over top of pretty plaid patterns in pinks and greens. Visit the Carrie Stamps blog for a video tutorial.
Shamrock’s work well for St. Patrick’s Day Cards which I know not everyone might make cards for but it’s my Brother’s birthday so I frequently try to use them on his cards. But they also work well for Springtime cards and to wish someone Good Luck, maybe on a new job or heading off to college. They can be used on their own or pair well with cute Gnomes, Leprechauns and rainbows.
I’ve gathered up a big bunch of cards featuring Shamrocks to hopefully get you inspired. A link with more information usually including directions and tutorials will be list beneath each photo.
