Lucky Leprechaun

St. Patrick's day is coming up soon. This is a really simple card layout that I have used for other things. It is a nice alternative to the typical A2 card even though when folded this is the same dimensions. 

I am entering this into the Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge is to make a card for St. Patrick's day but NO shamrocks. 

For the card, I cut my base stock at 8.5" x 5.5", normal, no big deal, right?

Now for the folding. I scored on the 8.5" edge starting on the left at 2 1/8" and at 4 1/4" and then fold to get sort of an accordion fold. now you just decorate it.

Here's how I did it...

All paper from my scrap stash

Striped paper....

• cut one panel at 4" x 5.25"
• cut 2 panels at 1 7/8" x 5.25" 

Cut 2 squares at 1.5" and cut in half diagonally to place on the corners of the card

• I used my Gypsy to hid his face so I could stamp it
