The sentiment banner on the front was cut with one of the dies from the Ribbon Banners-Straight die set by My Craft Spot. I added a wee bit of Washi tape and a green gem to the circular end of it.
I happened to have some green Washi tape that coordinated nicely with my patterned paper, so I added a little strip of it to create a base for my Shamrock.
The Shamrock (having only three leaves) is a national symbol of Ireland and is from the clover family of plants. The four-leafed clover is actually a rarity, but is considered to be "lucky" when found.
I ran my plain green mat through my Cuttlebug in my Swiss Dots embossing folder. My white scalloped mat was cut with a Lifestyle Crafts die.
The inside of my card was created with the same DSP and cardstock as the front. I added another little shamrock made with a small heart punch and a small flat-backed gem.
My sentiment is my own and was computer-generated.
I'm entering this card into the Dies R Us Challenge Blog's Challenge #22 - Shades of Green.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my one and only St. Patrick's Day card. And I hope your St. Patrick's Day is full of merriment and good luck!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Beautiful St Patrick's card Cheryl ... great idea to make your shamrock from hearts! Have a good day - I get the day off work yippee but I've no plans to be 'drowning the shamrock' LOL :)
Oh, Cheryl, your sister will treasure this beautiful card from you! Your heart shamrock is divine and the whole card just rocks, inside and out!! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card Cheryl! Love the textured background and scalloped frame! Hope you had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Thanks for stopping by...I don't do the St. Pat's card either, but like the holiday. I'd really like my green to show up in the grass. We need rain and we could cancel the area burn ban too. So many spring flowers on the blogs, but not a sign yet here. A few robins came to visit. Have a great week. I'm off to find my MOJO.
