Iris Folding Clover

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
It has been quite some time since I added Iris Folding on a card and I wanted to play with all that folded paper. My first Iris Folding card can be found Here. I searched through my papers for patterned St. Patrick's Day papers for the clover but found only two papers. I chose to go with different shades of solid green. Card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cut from green card stock.
Cricut Cartridges:
Designer's Calendar - Using Cricut Design Space, I cut the clover shape opening in the white paper at 2.75" wide. I used the free square template at Circle of Crafters for the placement of the different colors of paper on the clover. This pattern has been donated to the public domain.
Basic Shapes - White layer is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high.
Phrases - Happy St. Patrick's Day is cut 3.75" wide.
A Memory Thread bow and green rhinestones are added for a finishing touch to the card. With all the folded papers under the openings, it does make the card a bit bulky.

Challenges:
Cut It Up - Ch. 91 St. Paddy's Day
Decorate to Celebrate - Ch. 5 Anything Goes
DL.ART  - Ch. 175 Frog and/or use color Green
Double D Challenges:  Feeling Green
FCCB - Ch. 271 St. Patrick's Day
Fun Cuts - N is for Nature (clover) 
Jo's Scrap Shack -- Ch. 128 Anything Goes
PDE Linky Party - Ch. 113 Anything Goes
Simply Create Too - Ch. 104 Use Green Only

Hope you enjoy this card--maybe inspired to try Iris Folding!

Happy Leprechaun

 Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It seems I was just working on Christmas cards and now I am playing along with St. Patrick's Day/Green challenges. Then, both Spring and Easter will be in the month of March. I am so ready for Spring! It has been beautiful days this week and I should be working more in my yard, but guess who has been playing with the Cricut!

Card is 5" x 6/12 inches white cardstock. Striped paper is My Mind's Eye Simply Delightful and solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
St. Patrick's Day - Leprechaun is cut 2.5" wide. This image has many little pieces. Leprechaun is attached to a Wobble spring for a little fun movement.
Basic Shapes - White circle is cut 3.5" and green circle is cut 3.65". Cuttlebug Diamond in the Rough is used on the white circle.
Classroom February and March - Shamrock is cut .75" wide from two shades of green paper. I cut three shamrocks and added a small green rhinestone in each.

Sentiment "Get your HAPPY on" is from Mary at CARDZ TV. Thank you so much Mary for my recent win of your lovely stamps! I thought this would be perfect for my happy leprechaun!
