Shamrocks and Flags A2 Card

 

Simple shapes with strong visual impact, 

using four-leaf clover, three different length 

double-point “flags”, and a final tiny heart. 

Guide marks on top of front accent panel help with 

flag positioning, with opt. positioning guide which assists 

recommended positioning of shamrocks. 

Card measures approx. 5.5” tall x 4.25” wide when side folded.

 ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A card base

B front accent panel with guide marks across top

C accent "flags" or ribbons, 3 diff. lengths

D four-leaf shamrocks (3 diff. colors)

E small heart accent for frontmost shamrock

F opt. shamrock positioning guide

2. Identify the top edge guide marks for "flags" (enhanced here

with pencil marks). Position each flag in order left to right

as they appear in the cut file when it opens at top edge

of panel, at marks, and attach in place. NOTE that for

the right two flags, first position and attach the right-most flag

with right edge aligned at right-most mark. Then position

and attach the middle flag overlapping, with the center-most

mark as guide for flag's left edge.

3. With the flags attached in position, use the positioning

guide placed over the assembly, top & side edges

matched.

Apply adhesive to backside of top-most shamrock.

Position it to align with the window cut out edges 

that can align with the shape, then press in place 

to attach over the panel and flags.

Remove the guide to fully apply pressure and

attach the first shamrock.

Reposition the guide, then prepare, position and

attach it to center panel assembly.

Repeat for the final shamrock, then remove 

and discard guide.

in the center of lowest shamrock.
