Hello (honey) Hexagons

Rosanne February 22, 2016 February 22, 2016Cards

Hello…I hope your week is starting out on a happy note and I hope my card will make it a little happier.

I was determined to use the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set as I have had it for so long and it has never touched an ink pad. The sketch needed a focal point so I clustered the hexagons into a wheel shape.

Here is a close up of the hexagon layering.

After I stamped each hexagon in Hello Honey ink and punched them out with the Hexagon punch, I snipped the excess white from the images. Then I punched hexagons from Basic Black cardstock and matted the stamped images on the black hexagons to frame each one. I also punched a 1 1/2″ circle to adhere the hexagons to when creating the wheel. It is finished off with a simple little candy dot in the center.

The DSP is from the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper available free during Sale-a-bration.

The inside is simply stamped and embellished with a piece of DSP and cardstock for some added interest and the envelope flat is embellished with the same DSP.

It’s All About You

Happy Sunday to you. We are finally getting a touch of spring weather in PA and it feels so nice.

Today I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

It is such a simple and straightforward sketch that it was actually a little difficult for me. What threw me was the large open space. This sketch spoke clean and simple to me and that really is not my strong suit. Here is what I came up with.

I stamped the flower image from the Sale-a-bration set, What I Love, in Versa-Mark and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and is inked in Basic Black. The embossing is actually just enough to allow these flowers to stand out.

Once I figured out the image, the rest of this card came together super fast and easy. The Basic Black 3/8″ Satin Ribbon is the finishing touch.

The inside sentiment is also from the Birthday Blossoms set. I accented the inside and the envelope flap with the same flower inked in Mint Macaron to match the cardstock on the front.

Once I stopped trying to over-think this card, it really came together rather quickly. Thanks so much for checking in today and I hope you have a little touch of spring in your day.

Awesomely Artistic in Perfectly Purple

Happy Saturday! There is something about a mild spring-like Saturday in late winter that is so uplifting and energizing. Although I did use some of that energy on a few household chores, the uplift came from creating this card for the Stamp, Ink, Paper sketch challenge.

I have been really loving the Awesomely Artistic stamp set lately. I’m not sure what took me so long to give this set a work out but I can see so many possibilities…

I recently used the flowers on another card here. This time however, I decided to color and snip them to create a more dimensional image. I used markers to color the flowers and leaves and then used a little Dazzling Details in the center. The dragonfly was stamped on Vellum in Versa-Mark and heat embossed using Iridescent embossing powder.

The embossing folder I used is from another company, but I thought it was the perfect background for this card. The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and the frame around it is also from Awesomely Artistic and is stamped in Wisteria Wonder. I should mention that added two candy dots in the same color to the frame. The frame is easily cut using a die from the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits. I added Wisteria Wonder 1/2″ seam binding behind the flowers.

The inside sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set. The font in this set is so feminine and pretty.

I did something a little different to the envelope flap. It is embossed with the same folder I used on the card and then stamped the front to match the inside of the card. I do like how everything coordinates.

I hope you enjoyed this project and perhaps it gave you a little “spring” lift as it did for me. Please stop by again soon.

Happy Birthday to Ewe….

The challenge this week at the Global Design Project is a theme and that theme is …..

It seems that balloons are all the rage in the papercrafting community these days and there are some very cute stamp sets featuring them.

I veered from the SU path a bit for this project. All the paper, ink and embellishments are Stampin’ Up! but the stamp set is from My Favorite Things. It is an absolutely adorable set called, Ewe Are The Best.

I made a treat bag from the Treat Bag Thinlits using a pattern from the In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack in Mint Macaron.

To create the cute little tag, I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and simply stamped a little background and the sentiment on the tag. Then I stamped, colored and fussy cut the lamb. Instead of coloring his balloon, I embellished it using a Honeycomb embellishment from the Occasions Catalog. To finish it off, I just added a small bow using Blushing Bride cotton ribbon.

This project came together very quickly and the result was super cute. I hope you agree.

Thanks very much for popping in today….I do appreciate it!
