Hello everyone! Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, I decided to make a cute Irish inspired project for my granddaughter, Rylee. She and I love to play the memory matching card game so much, that I've made others for her in the past - Valentine's Day, spring/Easter and a dog / cat them. They make great gift ideas and encourage fun, one-on-one time.π
I chose one of Lori Whitlock’s adorable treat boxes to store the game cards in. The cutting file is called Heart Favor Box and I just love the cute shaped handle. This box has a simple design and comes together really quickly. I added a beautiful green ribbon and a few icon stickers from Doodlebug's Happy Go Lucky Collection.
Bonus! This file allows you to cut 2 boxes from one sheet of 12x12 card stock so, you'll have an extra to use for another little gift. You can fill it with candy, a gift card, jewelry, or a small toy.
For the game cards, I cut sixteen 2.75" x 2.75" squares from green card stock. I used a 2" circle punch by Marvy Uchida to add a hole to the center of white card stock and layered that on top. Then, I added lots of cute stickers. It's that simple!
Since it's a matching game, don't forget you'll need two sets of identical stickers to make the 8 matching pairs of cards. ππ
Cute idea!
