St. Patricks Day a fun holiday to decorate for and Celebrate. I am a big part Irish so I love to send little cards to my loved ones for St. Patricks Day….. And why not jazz it up alittle bit. I went to Village Paper and Ink this last weekend which is Gina K.’s store and picked up some Foil Mate’s and wanted to play with them and the laminator.
I think that this foil craze is beautiful and it adds such a nice little something to the cards.
The process was to make a normal A2 sized card and use up some of my stash card stock. Using a green that I had and black I made the base of the card and the frame background. Then utilizing the Foil Mates and the Gold Sequins foil I put that throught the laminator and made the background paper. ( I love how it pops) Utilizing the green ribbon I had in my stash I wanted to add a break up point and some color in there, and then used 2 inch and 2.5 inch circle punches to make the circle pop. (that is what I’m calling it lol) The last step was pulling out the circuit and looking up a fun shamrock that I think just adds to the elegance of the card along with the glitter paper. Finishing off this beautiful Shamrock St. Patricks Day card.
I can’t wait to send this to my loved ones…… Its so beautiful!
