PAPER CUTZ CHALLENGE #31

For this week's challenge we are making either a card, layout or craft project for St. Patrick's Day using any colors.  I found this pretty dp in my K&Company Citronella stack that has a green pattern on the front and a yellow, white and green pattern on the back.  This fun card shape is on A Child's Year cartridge, Page 31 Card. I cut it out at 11 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches tall to make a standard A2 card. To cut the sentiment I used the Alphalicious cartridge Page 129 Lucky Shadow Shift and the 'u' from the matching font. I used my square scallop punch on white cs; sprayed it with Glimmer Mist in Lily Pad; inked around the edges with Memento chalk ink in Tea Leaves; added the sentiment and one clover that had been cut out of the card and adhered this to the card with pop dots. I tied some ribbon from my stash and added a vintage button to the knot. To make the clover cut outs 'pop' I lined them with a piece of Prismatic Paper from Best Occasions. I cut a second card shape and attached it to the inside to cover up the ribbon and Prismatic Paper strip (I like my cards to have a finished look). The final touch is with one of my favorite products...Ranger Stickles in Lime Green. Come join the DT at PCC and show us your St. Patrick's Day card!

  11. Terry, it's such a cute card with the fun shapes. I don't use my Cricut very much. Got the for almost 2 years and it's still new and unopened hiding in my cabinet. Seeing some of your creations sure inspired me to take it out to use it :o)
