This isn't "technically" a card. I created the "award" type pin by first using a 12" x 1 1/2" piece of green gingham. Then I border cut one edge. I used my Martha Stewart score board to score mark every 1/4". After folding on the scores I used a heavy duty tape to tape the ends together. (I've found alot of trouble keeping the ends together with any other tape or glue.) I used the heavy duty tape to tape the "doily" to a round circle. (The circle is in the back.) I punched a 1" round white cardstock with my favorite Fisker punch. I stamped the design with Dark Forest Veri-Sign ink. I decided to add a little bling with dark green, clear and orange round rhinestones.
Then I created a "ribbon" with a dark green Bazzil cardstock and an orange paper I had purchased from Oriental Trading. I glued the "ribbon" on the back of the "award" and added a clasp pin. After cutting a piece of Dark Forest Bazzil stock larger then the ribbon I "pinned" the whole creation to the Dark Forest and stamped "You are my Lucky Charm" in white opaque ink. Ta-Da...there you have it. I plan on giving this to a good friend who is not only Irish but took a cruise there a few years back.
