"Seeing Shamrocks" March Blog Hop

You know how I love vintage so tonight I'm sharing a Vintage St. Patrick's day card... Is there such a thing?? LOL! Probably not the most common style for this holiday...What do you think did I pull it off?

Using my Cricut & DS software I welded the 4-leaf clover from GAH cartridge in the center of each banner from the SFTN cartridge, Next I stamped the banner with T-3346 Background Soup. I distressed with cognac and backed with the green cs from the R-2503 Mia's Cottage.

I punched some wholes across top to thread some green cording through. It is layered to a piece of black cs with Pop Dots, I then layered to another piece of green that was border punched with a MS punch.

Next attach to kraft cs base and stamp the Celebrate form the T-3128 Thinking Of You on a strip of white cs that I distressed with cognac and adhere to black cs, The pink Rhinestones in the center of each clover are the perfect finish!

Join us and link your Seeing Shamrocks creation to our blog starting today. The hop will be open for posts until Sunday March 6th.

Saturday March 5th join us for a LIVE chat over in our Paper Crafting Community Mischelle will join the chat at 9 pm EST (8 pm CST).

Don’t have a blog but would like to showcase your card? Upload it to our TAC™ Paper Crafting Community Gallery on the days of the Blog Hop!

We will create an album for the Blog Hop and then put the cards into the album for you. Just label the card with the "Seeing Shamrocks Blog Hop" in the tag line.
