Free St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun Card Project

Free DIY Card or Party Invite for Saint Patrick's Day--LeprechaunWhether you are hosting or attending a St. Patrick's Day Party this free Leprechaun card project will come in handy.With Saint Patrick's Day around the corner I decided it would be nice to post a project inspired by it. Then I realized that I didn't think I had any appropriate themed stamps. Perhaps this has happened to you? I thought you the reader might appreciate how I solved this challenge in a budget friendly way.

First, I considered what images made me think of St. Patrick's Day. Since you are reading this, you know that I chose a Leprechaun.

Second, I looked through my craft supplies. I could have created this project using paint, markers, colored pencils, felt or paper. If you don't have colored cardstock on hand, you could still make this project.

Third, I started breaking down the image into shapes.

Materials
Cardstock--black, white, green, pink, orange and yellow
Markers--black and orange
Double sided tape
Scissors
Ruler
Whole Punch

Instruction
  1. Create card base with the folded dimension of 4 1/4" wide by 5 1/2" long from the green paper.
  2. Cut background layers--3 3/4" X 5" rectangle from the black paper and 3 1/4 X 4 1/2" rectangle from the white paper.
  3. Print out the pattern pieces. Cut out the shapes using the photo for reference.
  4. Assemble card using tape.
  5. Draw mouth and eyebrows using markers.
