First time making a 3D creation like this. Click here to see Mary of CardzTV wonderful video on how to make.
Created this Sharock Box using:
1. Cricut cartridge Desginer's Calendar for the Shamrocks that are inside the box
2. core'dinations cardstock - Clover Patch, Leprechaun & Shamrock - isn't that appropriate!
3. studio g stamp for sentiment on front
4. the Paper Studio scrapbook paper for Shamrocks paper on flaps & grass paper on sides
5. ribbon
I liked how the card flattens and fits inside an A2 envelope.
For those thinking this is hard to make I tell you if I can make it, it is not hard. However my 1st one I made was not right. I had the cut flaps as the longer pieces since I trimmed up to the score line on wrong side. Next one I made turned out correct which again I used white cardstock. After getting it correct using white cardstock I figured why not use green cardstock. I've made 1 more so far. This first one is for a friend that I use to work with at Hallmark and last name is definitely Irish, as in O'Malley. The 2nd one I made I did not add the ribbon embellishment so it would flatten easier and is being mailed to my daughter for St. Patrick's Day.
I have an idea to make one with an Easter theme.

This is my first time making a flower using tissue paper. The pink & pink/white tissue paper is from Victoria's Secret. When you make a purchase at VS the store puts the tissue paper in the bag that they put your item(s) in. The green is a scrap piece of Christmas tissue paper.
The flower & leaves are made using Spellbinder dies.
Stamped a Hero Arts background. First time using the Design Block Flourish stamped background. I had to practice with it before getting all the design to stamp. When that happens you flip the cardstock over and try again which is what I did and on the 2nd try I got it to stamp close to all. Filled in some areas with a black marker. Stamped HA sentiment 'happy birthday' on one of the green leaves. When stamping on tissue always put some paper under it since the ink goes thru.
Supplies List
brad: the Paper Studio
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
paper: cardstock - pinks, tissue - green, Victoria's Secret - pinks, pink/white
Spellbinder: Nest - Donna-Salazar Rose Creations leaves, Peony flower
stamp: Hero Arts - Design Block Flourish, Small Greetings sentiment 'happy birthday'

Created this card using a similar layout of a previous St. Patrick's Day card.
For this card I used Create A Critter 2 Cricut cartridge for the Pot of Gold.
Used Die-Namic dies for Cloud & Rainbow. Discoverd a cleaver way to use strips of cardstock for the rainbow. I first used red tape adhesive on a piece of white cardstock. Used scraps of cardstock that I had strips of. Found that if you cut a Tim Holtz tag using a piece of cardstock slightly larger than what the die cuts then you are left with some strip pieces. I peeled off the red tape removable layer, gathered some strips of cardstock, placed them on the red tape adhesive, then placed the die over the carstock strips and cut.
Used VersaMark ink with Stamp N Plus Stardust chalk on the rainbow for sparkle look.
Used tissue on this creation. Discovered a clever way to use tissue after trying to punch a shape out of tissue which I found to tear the tissue. Used a piece of white cardstock, used Scotch ATG adhesive on white cardstock crisscrossing the adhesive, placed the tissue on top of the adhesive and carefully smoothed so as to not tear the tissue out over the adhesive. Punched out green shamrocks from the tissue white cardstock.
Heat embossed the Hero Arts St. Patrick's Day sentiment on the Pot of Gold. Added glitter to the Pot of Gold.
Used Stampin' Up Cloudy Day embossing folder.
Added sequins: 2 gold & 2 green.
Used washi tape that I placed on a white index card and cut Sizzix photo corners out of.
