St. Patrick’s Day Card

Miss Mo wanted to make cards last night, so I whipped together this quick card for St. Patrick’s Day.  You could easily use this for a birthday card or another holiday by changing the embellishment on the front.  Enjoy!

Supplies:

• 5.5″ x 8.5″ card stock
• 5.25″ x 4″ printed paper
• 3″ x 3″ coordinating paper
• 2.5″ x 2.5″ coordinating paper
• Embellishment
• Baker’s twine, embroidery floss, or thin ribbon to coordinate
• 3 jewels or gems
• 4 pop-dots
• Adhesive
• Scissors
• Paper cutter
• Stamping sponge (optional)
• Sentiment stamp
• Coordinating ink pad (optional)

Directions:

1. Fold 5.5″ x 8.5″ card stock in half; crease well
2. Sponge edges of the card with ink, if desired
3. Adhere 5.25″ x 4″ printed paper to front of card
4. Adhere 2.5″ x 2.5″ square to center of 3″ x 3″ square
5. Attach embellishment to center of smaller square combination
6. Wrap the bakers twine or ribbon around small square combination; Knot and then tie a bow.  Trim ends.
7. Pop dot small square combo to center of card.
8. Adhere three gems to lower left of card.
9. Stamp sentiment inside, if desired

Note:  The embellishment I used was actually a sticky-backed felt shape that I found in the $1.00 bin at Joann’s…. be creative and look outside the box!
