With its bold golf theme and dimensional layers, it’s easy to cut, assemble, and customise with your favourite cardstock colours.

Materials Needed
Silhouette Cameo or Portrait cutting machine (or other compatible machine)
Optional: Matching 5×5” envelope SVG (Design ID D-181609 ) See store links for other available store options
Step 1: Set Up Your SVG in Silhouette Studio
Open the SVG file in Silhouette Studio and arrange the design elements by colour. The default size is for a 5×5 inch folded card, but you can scale it up to suit your preferences. Make sure to use separate cutting pieces for each colour of cardstock.
Step 2: Cut the Design Pieces
Load each piece of coloured cardstock onto your cutting mat and send the design to cut. The file includes:
Card base with Golf Ball, Tee & Happy Father’s Day cutouts
Golf Ball Cutout Background
Word art “Happy”
Tee Cutout Background
“Father’s Day” text cutout with optional backing layer
Card insert for your message and/or backing layer
Use a spatula to gently lift each element from the mat to keep edges clean.
Step 3: Assemble the Card
Begin with the card base laid open. Adhere the golf ball backing to the top half of the card behind the golf ball cutout, placing the tee beneath the tee cutout. Next, layer the “Happy” word art over the ball, then attach the (optional) coloured cutout backing behind the “Father’s Day” cutout text to make it pop. Finally, add the message insert inside the card which can also be used as the optional cutout backing for one of the elements.
Step 4: Optional Envelope
Complete your project by cutting a coordinating 5×5” envelope using Design ID D-181609 . It fits the card perfectly and adds a polished, professional touch.
This sporty, handmade Golf Ball Father’s Day card is a fantastic way to celebrate your dad’s favourite hobby. With a bit of cardstock and creativity, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind greeting he’ll treasure.

Graduation is the perfect time to get creative with your cutting machine and whip up something extra special. Today I’m showing you how to make a fun and cheerful graduation card using my Smart Cookie Graduation Print & Cut File, You’re Such a Smart Cookie sentiment, and coordinating Vintage Grade School Lined Paper Background and Dry Paint Grunge Clipping Mask Frame. This design set is perfect for celebrating all those clever cookies heading off to their next adventure. Don’t miss the instagram reel here showing the process or check it out from the bottom of this tutorial.
Use the Dry Paint Grunge Clipping Mask Frame to create a beautifully distressed border around your background design, as shown in the full tutorial linked here. This grunge clipping mask adds a textured, handmade look that pairs perfectly with the school-themed lined paper. If your card design fits within the Silhouette print and cut registration area, you can take advantage of the Print & Cut feature for crisp, accurate cuts. My card was a 5×7 size, which exceeded the print and cut limits, so I made an approximation for placing and cut with my Silhouette Cameo instead. You can also score and cut the card base by hand, especially if you prefer a more flexible workflow. While I don’t often hand-cut, it’s a great backup when needed. shape. It is not often I opt for that option. Usually only if I make a mistake and need to fix an error!
Step 2: Print & Cut
Open the Smart Cookie with Graduation Cap and matching sentiment in Silhouette Studio®, then copy and paste them onto a new project page. Resize the elements to suit your preferred card dimensions—for example, a 5×7″ card front works beautifully. Enable registration marks and arrange to fit within cut borders for accurate cutting, making sure none of the design enters cross hatched areas. Then print the design onto high-quality photo paper or white cardstock for the best results. Load the printed sheet into your Silhouette cutting machine and let it precisely cut each element. Be sure to keep the original sentiment cut line intact, as you’ll need it to create an offset layer for a clean, professional-looking sentiment border.
Step 3: Cut Sentiment border
Choose a piece of coloured cardstock to use as the sentiment border, then create an offset from the ungrouped sentiment outline in Silhouette Studio®. To do this, select the ungrouped sentiment outline and click the Offset tool from the right-hand toolbar—it looks like a small star icon. Adjust the offset distance to your preference for a balanced border around the sentiment, then cut the offset shape from your chosen cardstock to add dimension and contrast to your finished card.
Step 4: Assemble Your Card
Use adhesive to glue the sentiment border to the back of the sentiment pieces. Use foam tape or adhesive to attach the Smart Cookie and sentiment pieces to the front of the card for dimension. You can also pop up the cookie separately for extra depth!
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Consider adding enamel dots, twine, or a little glitter to bring even more charm to your finished piece. You could even personalise the inside with a printed message or handwritten note.
This smart cookie card is a playful way to congratulate someone on their big achievement. It’s quick to make, full of personality, and totally customisable for any age or stage.

I have a few cutting files available in the Silhouette Design Store which I think are pretty cute which you might enjoy incorporating into your creative projects for St Patrick’s Day.
One thing that springs to mind when I think of St Patrick’s Day is a day in my youth when I went to an Irish Pub with my then boyfriend (now husband) and his best friend who had Irish heritage. The atmosphere in the pub reminded me so much of pubs in the Netherlands which I spent a great deal of time in when I was 18. That experience inspired this design. It would be great for printing and cutting for cardmaking or scrapbooking, or used for sublimation or cut from vinyl. Click on the image to go to the design in the Silhouette Store.
I also have some Luck of the Irish Wordart and a gorgeous Four Leaf Clover Background or Stencil. The Four leaf clover background would be great for card making, scrapbooking or using as a stencil for crafting. The Word art would be great as print and cut, or for sublimation or vinyl. Click on the images below to go direct to the designs in the Silhouette Store.
Lastly I have an adorable, whimsical Watercolor St Patrick’s Day Print and Gnome perfect for Card Making, Scrapbooking, Art Journaling, Sublimation and more. Check it out at the Silhouette Design Store
