Hello friends. I'm getting in touch with my Irish roots with this shamrock card today. Plus, it's National Craft Month which gives me a good excuse to break out my Brother Crafts Scan n Cut to create the images for this card. I'm also using products from Scrapbook.com Scroll down for brief creative details. You'll find products linked at the end of this post as well.

I purchased my Scan N Cut a few years ago, as a Christmas gift to myself. It's been one of the most loved tools in my arsenal. I typically cut most of my images on a blade setting of 6 for lightweight cardstock. I also generally work offline so this image is one of the standard images included in my machine's storage. No need to get on the internet! I scaled down my image to the smallest size which was about 1.5" or less and added 9 images. I touched the screen to drag the images where I wanted them and then cut.
I also used my negative template to easily line up my shamrocks on my card, popping each one of them up with a small adhesive foam square.
My sentiment was created using a Scrapbookcom exclusive stamp set called Vintage Type Upper. I used my Misti stamp positioner to stamp one letter at a time on white cardstock to spell "Good Luck". It helps to lay down a piece of low tack tape on the cardstock, such as mint tape, to easily line up your letters evenly. My solid papers are from a variety of Scrapbookcom paper pads (Jewel and Floral) and the gingham plaid was from my stash. Here's a link for you to scroll, if you'd like to check out the current gingham 6x6 paper pads offered at Scrapbookcom: Click Here
I thought this card would be great for other occasions, not typical of St. Patrick's Day; graduations and retirements came to mind.
I shared a short reel on my Instagram and TikTOK, featuring this card. I hope you'll follow me on those sites, if you're not already!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Terri
