Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare Your Card Base:

• Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 5.5” x 8.5”. Fold it in half to create a standard A2-sized card (4.25” x 5.5”).

Stamp Your Images:

• Using your ink pad, stamp the Chuggin’ on Stamps images onto a separate piece of cardstock. Feel free to use multiple cups and orientation for a delightful and playful look!

Coloring:

• Once the images are stamped, it’s time to add some color! Use alcohol markers or colored pencils to bring your cups to life. Think bright green for St. Patrick’s Day, along with other fun colors to make your card pop.

Cut Out the Images:

• After coloring, carefully cut out each image using scissors.

Create the Background:

• Prepare a background for your card. You can keep it simple with a solid color or get creative! Consider using a pattern that includes shamrocks or rainbows to enhance the festive feel of your card. I used a clover stencil and Distress Ink to create my background.

Assemble Your Card:

• Start arranging your stamped images on the card base. Play around with the layout until you find a design you love. Once you’re happy, adhere the images in place using glue or double-sided tape.

Add your Sentiment:

• If you’d like, add a fun St. Patrick’s Day sentiment. You can either stamp directly onto the card or create a small banner using a separate piece of cardstock. The set is not intended to be a St. Patrick’s Day themed set, it’s all about color scheme and sentiment! It’s super versatile!

Finishing Touches:

• Customize and enhance your card by adding decorative elements like sequins, washi tape, or even shamrock stickers. These little details will give your card a festive flair. I used the St. Patty’s Day sentiment and clover from the set, You’re My Pot of Gold.

Sign and Share:

• Don’t forget to sign your card inside! Share it with friends, family, or anyone who could use a little extra cheer this St. Patrick’s Day.

Happy Crafting!
