St. Patrick’s Day is a week away (Monday, March 17 this year). I don’t send out St. Patrick’s Day cards, but I couldn’t resist making a green-filled thank you card with a peppering of small shamrocks. To become one with the design, I rolled around in a field of shamrocks for an hour and then popped up to make this happy card:
The sentiment – “so lucky to know you” – is a great sentiment for any time of year, but it offers a perfect reason to crank out some luck-of-the-Irish shamrocks. Here’s a look at the Tags of Thanks Bundle that includes the sentiment on my card (don’t sleep on this photopolymer/punch trio bundle):
The sentiment fit perfectly inside the Modern Oval Punch. The rounded edges of the punch also add a soft element to this card with lots of straight lines and corners. Here’s a closer look at the sentiment on my card:
I cropped a filed of shamrocks with the tiny hearts in the Tags to Go Bundle, another new bundle in the recent Online Exclusives offering. A single die crops three hearts – nice! I cropped these hearts from Shy Shamrock cardstock and mounted them on a Mini Glue dot on my card. Here’s a look at the must-have Tags to Go Bundle, which includes the dies for these tiny hearts:
To build the stem of each shamrock, I punched the large Bough Punch image from Shy Shamrock cardstock and snipped away the stem. So easy. Here’s a close look at one of the shamrocks on my card:
It’s hard to miss the mix of Shy Shamrock patterns on the focal panel of my card – all three are from the 2024-2026 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (all Shy Shamrock). I love the monochromatic look at all three of these patterns. Behind the focal panel, I added a thatched page of Shy Shamrock (with a little Azure Afternoon thrown in) from the On the Go Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of papers:
Stamps: Tags of Thanks Papers: On the Go Designer Series Paper, 2024-2026 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (Shy Shamrock), Shy Shamrock, Basic White Inks: Versamark Accessories: Modern Oval Punch, Tags to Go Dies, White Wow!

Get on it, Nancy! ♥ Hope your cards are filled with beautiful greens. Thank you!
Oh my lucky charms . . . love the little shamrocks!
Thanks so much, Mary! Lucky Charms – they got me through breakfast and lunch in college. 😀
Great card! I love the sweet sentiment. Now that stamp set is on my “Need” list. Enjoy your day!
There are some really great sentiments in the set – you’ll be happy to have it. Thanks! ♥
So cute! Love how you made those shamrocks out of tiny hearts!
Thanks, Linda! They are TINY, but I had fun working with them. 🙂
How creative Brian! You’ve done it again!
All those items were off my radar.
Thank you so much, Dawn! So happy to re-radar them for you. ♥
There’s method acting, now there is method stamping. I’ll forgo the field rolling and just CASE this idea, LOL. Cute little shamrocks!
I do whatever it takes, Cindie! Let me do “the work” so you don’t have to. It took me forever to find a patch of shamrocks, but once there…
