St. Patrick's Day Card How-to Guide

Tools and Materials Needed:

• 1 Printed St. Patrick's Day Card
• Scissors
• Straight-edge Ruler
  
• Optional: Paper Cutter, Envelope, Rubber Cement

Assembly Instructions:

1. Print St. Patrick's Day card on colored card stock (recommended for self-mailer) or decorative scrapbooking paper (white on one side).
   
   (COOL TIP: Scrapbooking paper with bright colors and fun patterns on one side give my card an awesome effect on the flap fold-down and back of card. When using scrapbooking paper, simply print my card design on the white side of the page.
   
   
2. Cut out card with paper cutter and scissors.
   
   
3. Fold shamrock flap down flush with top of card.
   (TIP: Use a straight-edge ruler to help guide folding).
   
   
4. Add a personal message to the card, sign your name, and give to your recipient. (Note: if you're giving the card out by hand, you may or may not want to dab a small dot of rubber cement under the flap to hold it down. The advantage of rubber cement over ordinary craft glue is that it will give cleanly when your recipient opens the flap.)

Remember: The unique design of the St. Patrick's Day card allows it to function as: 1) a hand-out card with or without an envelope, or 2) a self-mailing surprise card (no envelope) if printed on card stock, glued closed, addressed, and stamped.

Happy creating for your March 17th St. Patrick's holiday celebration!
