With St. Patrick’s Day just a few short weeks away, I thought I would share an easy way to create a shamrock with just a few cropped hearts. I used the straightedge heart from the (now retired) Heart Punch Pack and the smallest scalloped heart from the (now retired) Stitched Be Mine Dies.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Whisper White Thick card stock.
Layer and adhere a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White card stock to a piece of Garden Green card stock with Snail Adhesive.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop three hearts of Garden Green card stock with the straightedge heart from the Heart Punch Pack.
Crop a stem of Garden Green card stock with the die from the Bouquet Bunch Dies and a die-cutting and embossing machine.
Adhere all pieces together with Mini Glue Dots.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop three stitched hearts of Granny Apple Green card stock with the smallest Stitched Be Mine Die and a die-cutting and embossing machine.

Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (A Wish for Everything) in Granny Apple Green Classic Ink onto a 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White card stock.
Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a bow of Garden Green Country Club Twine.
Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Add three Old Olive Noble Peacock Rhinestones as shown.
PERFECT POLISH! Crop a piece of Granny Apple Green gingham print from 2019-2021 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper collection using the liner die from Beautiful Layers Dies and a die-cutting and embossing machine.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut the liner is 1 7/8″ high from the center. Adhere to the outside envelope flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Here’s my video with more tips on how to do this (at about the 2-minute mark).

Thanks for the inspiration. I made a card very similar to yours for a friend who asked me to make her a few St. Patrick’s cards. Your card jump started me.

That’s a WOW! card for St. Patrick’s Day. Love the greens, twine, and bling. Very pretty. Enjoy your day!
