LEARN HOW TO MAKE EASY ST. PATRICK’S DAY INSERT CARDS ON YOUR CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE

Today, I am back with a new insert card tutorial for you all! This are my St. Patrick’s Day insert cards.

First of all, I just love how happy this one turned out. I don’t know if it’s the cute little shamrock or the font or the glitter cardstock! Just fun!

As for all my insert cards I design, it can be made using any Cricut, or other brand, cutting machine you have! In the download, you will find two folders inside. One for Maker/Explore and one for Joy.

Note: The version for the Cricut Joy is only the design so it would be best to use Cricut’s Insert Card Packs available at most craft stores! For more information on how to use this design with a Cricut Joy, please take a look at my Cricut Joy New Years Insert Card tutorial!

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.
