Hi friends! Today I am sharing my take on the March 2026 SheetLoad of Cards along with my brand new Lucky Charms digital paper collection designed by my daughter, Abi. This month’s patterns include Lucky Charms, Leprechaun Plaid, and Good Luck Charms, and I printed them full size so I could really show them off. I followed the SheetLoad sketch to cut my panels and strips, using Leprechaun Plaid for the accent strips and alternating between the two charm patterns for the backgrounds. I die cut arches from Trinity Stamps and trimmed them to match the sketch measurements, then added a thin scalloped border along the bottom to hide where I shortened the die cut and to add a sweet little detail.

To give the green cardstock strips a special touch without using glitter paper, I brushed clear shimmer only along the edges that would peek out from behind the patterned strips. It gives the illusion that the whole strip is sparkly while keeping things simple. I also blended a soft gold sheen around the edges of the background using interference ink for a subtle glow. Once the strips were adhered, I popped the arch up with low profile foam adhesive and let it overlap slightly for dimension. I love that tiny bit of lift against the layered background.

For the focal point, I die cut clovers from the Little Charms die set and stamped the word lucky from the My Lucky Charm stamp set using a yellow pigment ink. When it stamped lighter than I expected, I sprinkled on super fine gold embossing powder and heat set it for a rich metallic finish. I layered the lucky die cut twice for thickness, angled it across the arch, and tucked clovers around the letters with a bit of curled dimension. A few enamel dots finished the design, and I mounted each panel onto an A2 card base.
