I did a search on Pinterest for "Free Printable St Patrick" and printed off these 40 old fashioned card tops. (I think they were originally post cards) Painted some green or clear Wink of Stella on each card! Added either a foam shamrock of some kind or a gold coin to the front of each card. - - - The inside was BIG JOB! First I stamped a row of shamrocks. Then a St Patrick's Day wish. Then used Wink on the shamrock inside. Then found some shamrock Washi tape and put a strip along the inside. But that was a lighter color so I took a clock and inked it with the lighter color to match and stamped a block over each sentiment. That helped. Then the row of shamrocks did not look good so I had to color in each row of them with a lighter color, as they were just an outline stamp. That salvaged the inside. Five steps to finish the inside! Then I stamped a ST.P. wish on the front of each envelope. - - Oh, there are 40 of these cards! tfl
I think they really turned out neat and my DH really likes them, which is surprising for that many cards and he likes them ALL!
Answer to Irishgreensue: go to Pinterest - in SEARCH box type "FREE PRINTABLE ST PATRICK" and you will get all that is available.

This volume still boggles my mind, Rita! Insides sometimes are MUCH worse than the whole card so I share your frustration with that! What a process but you make So many people happy by doing this! Love those vintage images, so perfect for these! Amazing amount of work to create these beautiful St. Patrick's day card!
