This duo of amazing cards from Melody has one card with bold, bright colors on a stenciled background and a layer of vellum with die cut pennants. The other is more pastel with a pretty soft rainbow, stamped Irish blessing and die cut details. The pops of gold has a nice metallic shimmer too! I spotted these on the Taylored Expressions Instagram page.

Even if you’re not Irish, it’s still lots of fun to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Wear some green, drink some beer, look for rainbows and four leaf clovers and send some fun handmade St. Patrick’s Day cards. Include stamped or die cut images of shamrocks, Leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold for cheerful card designs. Let’s take a look at some spectacular St. Patrick’s Day cards for inspiration!

Below each pic you’ll see a link, click it for more details like products used, tips and tutorials.

This stunning card from Candice uses printed pattern paper for a quick and easy St. Patrick’s Day background with die cut pot of gold and long colorful rainbow across a slimline card design. The heat embossed white sentiment finishes it off perfectly. She used products from Whimsy Stamps for this idea.

If you don’t have Leprechaun stamps then Gnomes are a terrific stand in! Amy dressed her Gnomes in green clothes and colored their hair red for a darling design. A large stamped Shamrock and a flutter of smaller clover and butterflies add movement to the background. Learn more at the Stamp with Amy K. blog.

This beautiful card from Lauren has the sentiment stamped directly onto pattern paper and an amazing die cut scalloped frame cut from holographic paper. On the frame she added green die cut Shamrocks and tiny stamped flowers. Find all the details on the Lauren Taylor Made blog.

This pretty card has a Shamrock stamped in soft shades of green inks cut so that the petals can be lifts for dimension. A sweet stamped sentiment and shiny sequins finish off the design. This card was created with products from Simon Says Stamp.

Plaid and Shamrock pattern papers are the stars of this lovely layered design from Susan. Also under her stamped sentiment are some die cut filmstrips along with a Shamrock embellishment in the corner. You could make several of this quick and easy idea in one sitting! I spotted it in her gallery at A Cherry on Top.

Here’s a wonderful masculine St. Patrick’s Day card from Juliana. She used products from Tim Holtz and Ranger for a mixed media idea with a stamped and foiled background and die cut and stamped top hat, Shamrock and collar creating a funky idea of a mans head (very Salvador Dali!). I came across this in her gallery at Scrapbook.com.

You can add a top hat to any stamped boy or girl, give them green clothes and ta-da, you’ve got a special St. Patrick’s Day card. Cindy used a paper piecing technique to give her stamped girl a polka dot green dress, adding die cut Shamrocks all around too. I love the ticket style layers she used too! Take a closer look at the Jaded Blossom blog.

Wanda used colorful plaid papers with a layer of scalloped white to frame her sweet Shamrocks. She die cut them from green pattern papers and cardstock, adding some tiny green gems and a lovely layered sentiment cut from gold metallic and vellum papers. Find all the details at a Blog Called Wanda.

This wonderful die cut envelope box card has depth and dimension, perfect for tucking in a gift card. It’s decorated with horseshoe pattern paper, die cut Shamrocks and a Celtic knot on the flap. But of the Leprechaun is the star, popping out with his red hair and cute green outfit. This card was made with digital dies from Lori Whitlock.

This breathtaking card from Lynn has so many cool techniques. She created her blue sky with an ink smooshing technique, the rainbow is stenciled and splattered with gold, the hills are die cut and the pot o’ gold and shamrocks and stamped and water colored with Zig markers. You can watch her video tutorial at the Art Impress blog.

This beautiful shimmery, shiny card from Lisa was created with amazing Deco Foil green foils from Therm O Web. She also created a gold foiled patterned background and added a stamped sentiment strip too. I spotted this on her bzscrapper Instagram page.

I hope you have the luck of the Irish this St. Patrick’s Day!
