Start with a Shaded Spruce cs card base. Die cut a Soft Sea Foam cs stitched rectangle with the Stitched Rectangles dies. Die cut a Soft Sea Foam cs collar and a stitched pocket with the Suit & Tie dies. Die cut an Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP tie with the Suit & Tie dies. Glue the collar and stitched pocket to the stitched rectangle to the card front. Use Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the tie to the center of the card front overlapping the collar.
Cut a Soft Sea Green cs sentiment panel and a Gold Foil sentiment panel layer. Stamp the sentiment from the A Wish for Everything stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on the Soft Sea Green cs sentiment panel. Glue the stamped sentiment panel to the Gold Foil sentiment panel layer and then use Stampin’ Dimensionals & a glue dot to add the sentiment panels to the card front overlapping the DSP tie.
Die cut three Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP small stitched hearts with the Give it a Whirl dies and a small DSP stem fussy cut with paper snips. Use glue dots to form the shamrock and then add it to the top of the stitched pocket.
Don’t forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the A Wish for Everything stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink and add a DSP strip to the inside & back of the card to pull the theme through.
