I was inspired to play along with today's Splitcoast Free for All Challenge, Got a Lucky Penny?--to use your good luck charms, greens, and leprechauns for this challenge. The timing on this challenge was just right--I won't need many St. Patty's cards, but I've only made one so far this year, and we are less than two weeks away! And I decided that a St. Patrick's Day card would be the perfect opportunity to play along with the new Play Date Cafe challenge: "Player's Choice" Color Splash Week! The idea is to make a black and white card with just a splash of a single additional color, and this week we get to choose whatever color we'd like. Obviously, I chose to add a splash of GREEN!!
I used two little shamrock charms from a bulk bag of pastel-colored buttons that I purchased several years ago. I arranged three green heart-shaped gems and a bit of green embroidery floss as a third "lucky charm."
Here are the challenges I incorporated into this card:
- The Play Date Cafe: Week #71
- Card Patterns Sketch 104:
- Paper Sundaes Challenge: Use a Charm
- Delightful Challenges: Welcoming Spring
- Cute Card Thursday: Signs of Spring
- Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #42: to be inspired by the colors and theme of this photo
Thanks for stopping by to check out my little slice of bliss today! Have a super weekend!

Oh, Emily...this is great. Love the wheel you used...made a delightful left side. The shamrock buttons were perfect. Super card!!! Have fun with your son at school.
How adorable! You know, since my birthday is St. Patrick's Day, I always look out for *different* cards for the occasion. For so many years, I got the same birthday card from multiple people, because very few companies made them. I know yours is handmade, but I'm wondering why those companies didn't do something cute and clean like this! Love the use of the twine in a couple of places, and all those differently styled shamrocks.
This is terrific Emily! Love the charm you created with the three green heart gems! ~Meredith
What a perfectly fabulous St. Paddy's Day card, Em! Love it!
Great St. Patrick's Day card Emily! Love all those shamrocks!
Beautiful card Emily. Love the flourish on the side and the gems on the shamrocks.
Gotta love St. Patty's day when you are a green lover :) Fabulous use of the sketch and challenge. Great fun with the different shamrocks. Wonderfully done :)
Very pretty Emily! This design could be used with any theme! But definately keep the green!
