St. Patrick’s Day Cards

Hello! Today I’m sharing some fun St. Patrick’s Day Cards with new products from Whimsy Stamps. I love making St. Patrick’s Day cards and I have for a while since I have some loved ones whose birthdays are on March 17th!

This first set called Lucky Charm really made me smile! I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and created an ink blended rainbow background. I colored up that lucky leprechaun with Copic Markers and popped him up with foam adhesive….you might notice the gold coin (and trail) stamped on the background. That’s right!! I stamped it first on the background just to have those elements showing, then put the colored version of the leprechaun only over the top!

I used the clovers in the stamp set to create a background and ink blended some green ink around the edges.

Next, I created a shaker card with the new Quick Card Fronts! There are actually 2 different sets of Quick Card Fronts this release, this one with the harp is the Celtic Mix.

For the border, I used only one of the dies from the new Celtic Knots Die set. I LOVE this die set! See my next card for a full look at the border in this set.

Here is the magic of that Celtic Knots die set!! This time I used it with the St. Patrick’s Day Vintage Postcards Quick Card Fronts (a beautiful collection)!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I hope you enjoyed these projects today! Thanks for stopping by!
