I hadn't planned to make a St. Paddy's card this year, but then I saw one that my blogger friend, Janis, made and got inspired. So...off to my craft room I went. I dug around in my huge stash of green paper scraps, and found a couple of tiny pieces of recycled gold card stock from a gift certificate holder that I've been hoarding. I used a sentiment by Spellbinders, rainbow stamp by Unity StampCo, a tag die by Taylored Expressions, and tiny envelope die by The Cats Pajamas to make this. The gold cord added to my tag is recycled from an old candy box. Love it when I can re-use pretty things. I feel like this card is general enough in theme to fit something besides St. Paddy's Day and could also be a congrats card, or even just for springtime.

ADORABLE, Karen!! I am completely charmed by how you kept the rainbow in green and yellow. It is such a cute little image (was it from a Unity grab bag?) and by staying in the green neighborhood, it adds so much more continuity to your wonderful green card than a traditionally colored rainbow.
ReplyDeleteLove how you are so amazingly resourceful in repurposing little bits and pieces of things. I save them...oh, yes, I DO save them....but using them is a completely different tale!! Ha. You always know exactly the right spot for these wonderful little accents.
Oh, and that tiny little envelope.....LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! What a delightful little die and that heart coming out of it with the rainbow ....total GENIUS!! Really fabulous design, my friend. So glad you ran up to your craft room to make this so we all could enjoy it!!!
