LEARN HOW TO MAKE EASY SHAMROCK CARDS FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY USING YOUR CRICUT

I know you don’t typically send cards for St. Patrick’s Day, do you? However, I just had to make one for you all! I am so happy with how this shamrock cutout card turned out!

This design is similar to my DIY Christmas Heart Card in that it uses the draw function on your cutting machine to do the heavy lifting! Of course, your machine will need this function to be compatible.

In this tutorial, I’ll give you my step by step instructions and tell you what materials I think work best when making this project.

You can download the SVG file for this project at the bottom of this post.

If you aren't familiar with uploading SVG files into Design Space, take a look at my quick and easy tutorial here. Using your smartphone? Click here for my step-by-step guide on uploading SVG files with the Cricut App.

Everything has been set for you. All you need to do once the design has been imported into Design Space is click the green MAKE IT button.

Note: I did change the pen color from black to dark green. This step is not necessary to make the card but helps to visualize the card when finished.

STEP 3 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

You will see the three layers for this card in the mat preview. Click the CONTINUE button.

STEP 4 - LOADING YOUR MATS AND CUTTING YOUR MATERIALS

To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.

Hit the "C" button once it begins to flash and you are on your way to creating your card! Follow the prompts in Design Space on when to change out the different tools.

      Loved making your card! Anything using the cricut pen, I’m “in”! I did add vellum and another cardstock panel to the inside of the cover to make the cover a bit sturdier. Had to look up “Slainte” and its pronunciation. Slainte to you and yours!

        I am so glad you enjoyed this one! You know I am right there with you when it comes to using the Cricut pens!!

        What a great idea using the vellum and more cardstock to make the outer layer more sturdy! Very smart!!

        Thanks for sharing with me!
