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.
