Waving Hello and wishing you all a very happy St Patrick's Day with this easy card make. I’ve designed this one so that it can also be used as
a simple ‘Good Luck’ card as it bears only the word ‘Lucky’. If you look carefully you will see it has 6
regular 3 leaf clovers and a special ‘Lucky’ 4 leaf clover to give a magic
number totalling 7. So it’s a Lucky 7
card too, so that’s plenty of Good Luck to send to a friend.
Step By Step:
-
I took a Dovecraft 6x6 white card blank to use as my base
card with the fold running along the top.
From the 6x6 My Guy paper pad I cut a square of triangle geo patterned
paper approx. 5 5/8” square and adhered to card base using double sided tape.
-
To create the mat panel, I cut Dovecraft White Laid card
to measure approx. 4 7/8” square and matted it onto a square of First Edition
textured cardstock in green that measured 5 1/8”, to give a small border all
around.
-
I cut the clover shapes using my Cricut Explore (My DS
link is here if you wish to use it: https://uk.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/37629120
) but these are simple shapes and easy
to draw a 3 leaf and a 4 leaf in pencil onto card and use that as your template
to draw around. (The leaves look a little like heart shapes so perhaps use a
small heart to help you). I cut the 3 leaf clovers from My Guy papers, 2
in orange, 2 in polka dot, and 2 in the black, grey, yellow pattern papers from
the pad.
-
Using a Light Grey First Edition marker pen outline
around the inside edge of the leaves to give a subtle definition. Then glue 3
three leaf clovers across the top of the white panel and 3 across the bottom of
the white panel.
-
Using the FE Alphabet set, diecut letters to spell ‘LUCKY’
from black card and glue across centre of white panel, leaving space at right
for a clover.
-
Cut the 4 leaf clover from FE textured card in
green. Using Dovecraft glitter glue in
Gold, outline the 4 leaf clover and also outline around the green card
panel. When glitter glue is dry mount
main panel to card front at an angle using 3D foam pads.
-
To finish, add a
green adhesive gem to 4 leaf clover and attach to card front using a 3D foam
pad to give height, so it looks like you can just pluck the clover from the
card.
