If you want to make a St. Patrick’s Day card for someone, this Heartfelt Hexagon St. Patrick’s Day Card shows you how to make one with what you have! I wanted to make a St. Patrick’s Day card but wasn’t quite sure what to use. I knew hearts made good shamrocks. One of the first stamp sets I came across was the Heartfelt Hexagon, and it had a little heart stamp in it! At that point, I decided to make my own designer series paper for the card!

The card base is Granny Apple Green cardstock. The “designer paper” layer is Basic White stamped randomly all over with hearts and pretty foliage! First I used the little hearts to stamp with Granny Apple Green ink all over the card, going in different directions. I left some spaces because I knew the greeting would cover up some space anyway. When you are doing random stamping like this, be sure you stamp off the edges and maybe the corners. You don’t usually need every image to be fully on the card. To make the shamrock after stamping the hearts, I just drew in a little stem with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Marker.

Then I took a chance and stamped the foliage sprig in the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set as best I could fit it in between all the hearts. I think it’s because the foliage stamp is so delicate it fits in fine and adds more green for St. Patrick’s Day!

The greeting is stamped from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set. I stamped the border first on both Basic White and Granny Apple Green, and then the greeting in the center of the Basic White. I punched out both with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. If you don’t have this punch, just use whatever punch or die works for you. Or just cut out your own square or rectangle. I cut the Granny Apple Green hexagon piece in half horizontally to place under the top and bottom of the greeting piece to look like a layer to set it off a little from the rest of the card. After that was all layered, I popped up the greeting with Dimensionals.

After gluing everything down, I got the idea to use the Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon underneath the greeting. Luckily the greeting was already popped up so I could slide a piece of ribbon underneath and flagged the ends. I was able to stick a Dimensional under each side to hold the ribbon down.

Since gold goes with St. Patrick’s Day, besides the ribbon, I also added some Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold around the card.

Here’s another way to make a St. Patrick’s Day card with hearts from a little while back!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day March 17th!
