Two St. Patrick's Day Cards

I have 2 St. Patrick's Day cards to share with you today.  They both have shamrocks as their central theme, but the design of each is totally different.
 This card I saw somewhere and CASED it, but I can't remember where and who.  If someone recognizes the card please let me know.
The shamrock in this card was made by stamping one of the hearts from the I (Heart) Hearts stamp set using Garden Green ink on Very Vanilla card stock.  The entire surface of the image was then covered with Versa Mark, heat and stick powder applied and then dazzling diamonds. Isn't the look spectacular?
The Very Vanilla cardstock was then matted on a piece of Basic Black card stock, the bottom of which had been punched with the dotted scallop border punch.  This was applied to Garden Green Cardstock and a certain celery taffeta ribbon knotted at the top.
The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.



In this card, the shamrocks are made with the Embosslits die "Scalloped Heart of Hearts" and Garden Green Card Stock  The 3 hearts were applied to a strip of Very Vanilla card stock using Stampin dimensionals.  This was matted with Basic Black card stock, both ends of which were punched with the Scallop trim border punch.  The designer paper is from one of the designer packs.  It is matted onto Very Vanilla Card stock and again onto Garden Green Card Stock.  Again the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped in Garden Green ink.

St. Patrick's Day Wine Tag - Challenge 158 LNS Group

This is my morning to make wine tags for the craft show this weekend.  I've already made Valentine Day ones, general ones, and now I needed one for St. Patrick's Day - so I used challenge 158 with the LNS group i.e. to use the colors black, white, and another color.  The other color I chose was Garden Green - for the shamrock of course.

The same dimensions were used as in the previous post:  8 1/4 by 2 1/2" scored at 2 7/8", with a 1 3/8" circle punched in the top to accommodate the neck of the wine bottle.

Stamps: I (Heart) Hearts, Teeny Tiny wishes
Inks: Garden Green marker, Versa Mark
Papers: Basic Black, Whisper White, Garden Green
Accessories: Houndstooth embossing folder, 3/8" Basic black taffeta ribbon, 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punch, Modern word label punch, rhinestones, 1 3/8" circle punch
