St. Patty's Day Post Card



For this card I used my new Phrases cartridge. I wanted to cut the phrase larger so that I didn't have to deal with tiny pieces.  I cut the phrase (Phrase 3 feature on page 45) at 3.25 inches which made it 8 1/8th inches long.  I made the card to fit into a #10 envelope and it measures 4 x 9 1/8th inches. The phrase is popped up on the base.  I added stickles to the shamrocks to define them better. Then a bow and a button in the corner to finish it off.

 This is a post card, so it doesn't open. 


I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog -

Make a project using a shamrock or the color green.

 Bitten by the Bug 2 - Shamrock and the color green

Thanks for coming by and y'all come back again soon,

Cindy :)

  1. Super card. I'm always fond of long or tall cards (depending on which way you turn it). This is the first project I've seen done up with that Phrases cartridge and I love it. Thanks for sharing with us at BBTB2.
