These St. Patrick’s Day cards were made almost exclusively with Diemond Dies<\/a><\/span><\/span> and some card stock. For the rainbows, I used the\u00a0Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a><\/span><\/span>. I started with the largest circle die and skipped every other circle until I had enough to create the 6 colored rings of the rainbow.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The pot for the pot of gold was also made with a circle die from the same die set. I used the 9th circle (counting from the smallest circle out) a couple of times and cut away parts of the circles, flipping the smaller piece to create a kind of lip for the pot.<\/p>\n

The leprechaun diving into the pot of gold was made with the Diemond Dies Witches Boot die set<\/a><\/span><\/span>. Making them with sparkly glitter paper or adding buckles I think helps make them look more elfish or leprechaun-ish than witchy. \ud83d\ude42 I used a gold metallic Gelly Roll pen to draw in simple buckles on the black boots.<\/p>\n

To create a base for the pot of gold, I also used the Diemond Dies Grass Border Die<\/a><\/span><\/span>. One one card I cut out three rows of grass and glued them down to create a textured grassy look. On the other card, I used the die to create a stencil and inked in the grass. \u00a0For this latter card, in order to get the pot to look like it is nestled in the grass, I also cut away the bottom of the pot with the grass die. Clever, right?! LOL<\/p>\n

The sentiments I simply printed out on my computer with a free Irish-y font I downloaded (EasyLombardic Two). Lastly I added some Champagne gold Stickles to the tops of each pot and some Glossy Accents to the top of one pot to add some sparkle and shine.<\/p>\n
