Tuesday's Tip at Ten-How to Make Clover Cards

Need to make some Clover Cards for St. Patrick's Day? If you have the Pretty Perennials floral stamp set and green ink, then you totally can with ease! I love finding new ways to use stamp sets and not the way they were intended. So when I saw this idea on how to make a clover from a flower then I knew I just had to share it with my stampin' friends!

You can pick any green! I used the Shaded Spruce and stamped them off once to create a lighter look to my clovers. Then I just a strip of Just Jade for my "You Make Me" sign.

For the inside of this card I used the saying from the Game On stamp set and made another Pretty Perennials clover in the bottom right corner. This time I stamped it on in full color (no stamping off first).

If you didn't have the Game On stamp set, Stampin' UP! has a couple other sets you could use with the word lucky in it, like the Oval Occasions Stamp set.

I love adding texture to cards and so I used the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder for my background on this card.
