Irish You A… Lucky Day

Hey everybody, Happy St. Patty’s Day and may the luck o’ the Irish be with you! I’m excited to share a DT inspiration project for Keep It Simple with you today. Several of our DT members made optional ‘green projects’ to share today and I’m showcasing a super cute hinge card using papers and stamps from our Lucky Day Collection. I recently saw this hinge card on Pinterest that sparked my interest and looked really familiar. I was sure I had made one similar to it but with a different name, and after searching I came up with THIS double flap fun fold from a couple years ago. Similar but slightly different, and a whole lot of fun!

I cut the card base and scored flaps from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Lucky Day 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the rainbow and gnome on Solar White, colored them with an assortment of green Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and adhered them to the narrow front flap on adhesive foam squares. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff to the clouds and heated it with my heat tool to fluff it up.

I then stamped the sentiment in two sections (along with some stars and clover) in Memento Cottage Ivy, Bamboo Leaves and Pear Tart inks, and adhered one part to the front and the other part to a panel beneath the narrow front flap. I added a small disc magnet to keep the card closed.

When the narrow front flap is lifted, there is a larger flap that opens to the left. I embellished this area with a strip cut from a print in the Lucky Day Collection Pack as well as a heart die cut from another print in the collection pack. I used the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Hearts Die to cut the heart. I stamped a sentiment from the Lucky Day Collection Stamps in Cottage Ivy ink, trimmed it into a strip, and adhered it across the heart.
