St. Pat Day Shamrock Shaker Style Gift Bag

Was inspired by Stephanie Leykauf to make this shaker style St. Patrick's Day Shamrock piece added to the gift bag. You can click here to see her card.

Used a sketch which you can see below. 

Used a Kraft gift bag. Added washi tape.

Used a Darice Shamrock embossing folder. Inked the embossing.

Used Die-Namics umbrella die and recycled a piece a acetate plastic. I did not know how to put the foam adhesive on the thin parts of the umbrella so I free hand cut a front piece using scissors that was a bit larger than the die shape and cut small pieces of foam to fit around the edge of the umbrella.

Used a Shamrock punch to make the Shamrocks placed inside the shaker style umbrella.

Stamped Hero Arts sentiment. Added gems.

Added jute string for the left side of the sketch.

Added washi tape to finish off the sketch. Left the ends of the washi tape pieces up to look like ribbons hanging off the ends of the umbrella. 

Added a box of Girl Scout Thin Mints as the treat. Yes, they are still selling Girl Scout cookies here in Central TX.

Created this Back to School Card & copied it after 2 fav designers, Debbie M. who copied her card after Melissa P. for Kraft Journal challenge.
