Today we are introducing this wonderful Shamrock die! Don’t you love the Celtic knot work in the shamrock petals? I die cut the shamrock out of some recycled box panels. I loved the dk green color and it is really heavy weight, but the die handled it with no problem. I also die cut a couple more shamrocks out of plain card stock and stacked them together w/ the green one on top for some extra dimension. It’s attached to a die cut circle of textured aqua and I die cut larger circles on the top layers of mossy green and patterned dp. The dp was also die cut on the lower edge w/ a curved die and I attached a strip of white die cut w/ a coordinating curved border. The greeting was stamped on an angle in the lower right corner with green ink. I outlined the letters w/ a dark green Micron pen and added shading and sparkle with a Stardust pen. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Love the shamrock die, great St. Patricks Day card.
Love how you worked so many elements into this card! The curved die cut is the perfect way to separate the shamrock and sentiment Julie.
Beautiful layout. Love all the layers. The curved die is so effective with the other elements.
Beautiful Card Julie! I love the sentiment on the bottom and the little window for that fancy shamrock!!

Love this card. St. Patrick’s day is a hard one to do cards for because there aren’t many large St. Patty’s day dies. I am ordering this one now.

Julie, this is truly exceptional. Having the shamrock die stacked with some heavy weight card stock is a great touch. I’m going to have to get the whole set for this year’s St. Patty’s Day cards.
Stunning St. Patrick’s Day card Julie and your choice of green is simply beautiful.
I love this Shamrock and what you’ve done with it!
