Hi There– super simple card idea here. I wanted to make one of these for my parish priest, Father Pat. He went in for emergency hip replacement a few months ago– and ended up getting a horrible antibiotic resistant MRSA infection– and has been in a wheelchair and in rehab ever since. He is such a wonderful man. It pains me to think of him not feeling well. This idea is a knock off of the cute pennant cards everyone's been making.
Supplies: 3 sheets of green patterned paper, Martha Stewart shamrock punch, green twine from The Twinery, cheap Shamrock cards from the $1 bin at JoAnn's, a ruler and glue.
Flip your paper over and make a mark every 2 inches.
Fold the paper at the first 2 inch mark.
Punch out shamrocks, leaving enough room at the fold…
To leave the 2 shamrocks attached. Continue folding paper at 2 inches and punching out shapes on the other two sheets of paper too.
Measure out 18 inched of twine.
Center 7 (you knew it would have to be "lucky 7") shamrocks
Glue them to the twine using less glue than I did here.
Let 'em dry
Here's a little Irish poem I found
I think the shamrock pennants look cute
I hope this brings a little smile to Father Pat.
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Linking up here. I wish I could send you each a shamrock shake but I'll have to leave you with this instead: Big Hug,

What a cute idea!! I NEVER would have thought about using a punch that way. Love it!
Such a cute idea! I love the way you punched them out on a fold… I’d have never thought of that! :]
I love this card idea! Those shamrocks are adorable! And so sorry to hear about your priest…I am hearing more and more cases of people getting MRSA after going into the hospital for something else. Praying for him!
This is a great card. I’m sure it your priest will ‘feel lucky’ having you as a friend.
Malia, it’s wonderful! Certainly will brighten your Parish Priest’s day and touch his heart as well!
So cute!!
These turned out so cute! Love them :-)
