Clever Clovers

I wanted to make a card with four-leaf clovers in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but I didn't have any Cricut cartridges with that cut. My collection is still pretty small, and while I do have a cartridge with St. Patrick's Day images, it doesn't have clovers.

So I improvised. I found a flower on my Paisley cartridge that I thought might work. The "clover" is one of the button features on that cartridge.



The stamp was the inspiration for the entire card. I put some of the clovers on foam dots for dimension and added ribbon.



I left the inside of the card blank to write a note.

    I love how you improvised. It kills me- whenever I "need" a cut I can't find it. I have "enough" cartridges if you ask hubby but there are so many more I NEED! :)
