Get Your Shamrock On!

Looking for the perfect treat holder for St. Patrick's Day? Try these cute clear treat boxes decorated with an Irish theme! They would be great filled with rainbow candy or even gold foil wrapped chocolates!

I used the three dimensional heart die from Love Notes Thinlit set to form the base of the shamrock. The stem is a 1/4" by 1-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy cardstock.

The center treat box has a 1-1/4" by 8-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy Designer Series Paper wrapped around. For the other two boxes, I stamped onto 1-1/2" by 8-1/2" strips of Whisper White cardstock to create my own St. Paddy's Day Designer Series Paper.

Sweet Dragonfly Dreams

This sweet friendship card uses the same faux watercolor technique as my husband's birthday card. I used Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo to create this vibrant color block.

Usually, I decorate the inside of my cards with a sentiment and some type of embellishment such as a piece of washi tape or a stamped image. Sometimes there isn't a particular sentiment that fits. Or, like in this case, there are many possible sentiments that are fit perfectly. You could use this card for a birthday, a hello note, a thank you, and more.

So, I chose to stamp the dragonfly image in the lower left corner, leaving plenty of room for a personalized heart-felt message.

How do you decorate the inside of your cards? I would love to see what you create!
