Happy Sunday, stampers. I hope you have had a great weekend and got to play in the ink a bit.
I don't usually do St. Patrick's Day cards, but a friend asked me today if I did because she needed some ideas. I wondered if I even had anything I could use.
The Sale-a-bration set, So Happy for You, was sitting on the table, brand spanking new, and it had a tiny shamrock! Not only could I do something for St. Patrick's Day but It was a perfect fit for the Less is More challenge to do a card with 3 squares!
Challenge 13 over at SUO is to do a card using something from the Sale-a-bration catalog. This should work for that challenge too.
The shamrocks are inked with Wild Wasabi (stems) & Garden Green then stamped on 1" squares of Whisper White.
I chose to use the good luck sentiment in this set. I love the font and it made me think of leprechauns and fun.
I decided to add a few paper piercings under the sentiment. It's probably a little more than it needed.
Card Recipe
Stamps: So Happy for You
Ink: SU Markers (Wild Wasabi, Garden Green)
Paper: Whisper White, Garden Green
Accessories: Paper Piercer, Mat Pack
And here is a similar card...
I rounded some of the corners on the shamrock squares, used the sentiment from Teeny, Tiny Wishes and added a bit of Wild Wasabi ribbon that had been stashed away for a couple of years.
Thanks for coming by to visit. Enjoy!

What a wonderful CAS for St. Patrick's Day. I like the piercing underneath your sentiment. Looks great, Bonnie!
See...you can do two cards too! LOL! I love both cards, but I think the first is my favorite. THe piercing was the perfect finishing touch!
Great cards but am really loving the second one with the rounded corners and the ribbon. Elegant and fabulous card:-)

Love these Bonnie - especially the top one. Love the way you framed your squares and the piercing beneath the sentiment is a lovely touch.
The green on your cards is so vibrant, perfectly complimenting with the little shamrocks. x
