Top O’ the day to you! Happy St. Patricks Day!

Are you wearing green right now? I sure hope so! You don't want to get pinched! Happy St. Patty's Day to you one and all…it's the day when we are all a little Irish and can have a little fun! What are your traditions? Green Beer? Corned Beef dinner? I don't usually do anything special, but I do like to wear green. I always have struggled with making cute St. Patrick's Day cards…Nothing ever seems to come out just right. This year I saw examples online and in magazines where people made shamrocks out of heart punches. I decided to try that and make it my own. I am happy with how they turned out! Simple and sweet. I hope you have fun today!

Here are my hearts and stems. I cut the hearts with a punch and then freehand cut out the parts for the stems. I used some pretty patterned paper with green leaves. Not too overboard with the green…a nice soft shade. 

The card base is cream color and I inked up the corners. I used some light brown ink to stamp a shamrock background. The kraft paper is the focal part and I used a fine tip brown pen to draw the lines around the edges. This is an easy way to add a frame. It looked too plain before I did that! Added some twine to the center of a pretty green button and there ya go!
