This Friday is St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I don’t do a lot of crafting for St. Patrick’s Day. Although I might enjoy a green beer. Instead I decided to make a simple green handmade card. Stampin’ Up! has SO many different greens to choose from. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I don’t have all of the different shades so I just looked at what I had and chose three.
I chose Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for my card. The inspiration for this card came from a design I saw on Facebook that reminded me of an Argyle sweater. And the All That dies has a great die to create that same pattern. I haven’t used this die very often so I’m glad I had this idea. Once I had a whole bunch in each colour I stuck them on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Mini Glue Dots.
The card base is Basic Black to really show off the different shades of green. On top of my argyle background I stamped a simple sentiment using the Biggest Wish stamp set. Then I cut it out with one of the Layering Circles dies and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
This green handmade card was fun to make! Check out my Facebook live here, which is where I first shared this card. You can also check out one of the other cards I made using the He’s All That bundle here. I love this bundle and hope it carries over to the upcoming new Annual Catalogue!
If you do like to do St. Patrick’s Day crafting then you should definitely check out the Lucky Clover stamp set! This is such a cute stamp set, but I have a feeling it’ll be retiring once the Mini Catalogue is finished.
