Happy Tutorial Day.  Lori has added some new French door easel cards to the shop. I’m making the St. Patrick’s Day Version today. You can find it in Lori’s SVG Shop or in the Silhouette Store.

I started by cutting all the pieces.

Next start building the layers of the card.  Glue the pieces to he base as shown.  Print and cut the sentiment and add it to its background piece.

Now let’s make the leprechaun. The black oval goes behind the leprechaun body for the color of the eyes and mouth. Then layer over the body of the leprechaun.

Now let’s dress the Leprechaun. Add the hat, pants, and shoes.

Now add the band to the hat and add the belt.

Add the shirt and buckle on the hat.

And finally add the beard and other face pieces.

Attach the completed leprechaun piece to the card base as shown below.  It should be centered horizontally, and hang below the base by about 3/4″.

 

Look how fun this card is!  To get it to stand, fold the card along the main score line.  Bring the two side tabs inward, and rest the card front into the notches.  This card folds flat to fit into an A2 envelope for mailing.

Now all that’s left is to gather your favorite green papers and make a fun St. Patrick’s Day card!

Have a great day!
