Six Sided Sampler....it's been a while!

Good afternoon everyone!
First of all, I'd like to welcome my newest follower, Urska, to my blog. Urska is from Ljubljana in Slovenia and has a lovely, creative blog. I had the pleasure of visiting Ljubljana in 2007...it's beautiful there!

It's my secone week hosting this month at CAS-Colours and Sketches this week and I have designed the following sketch for you...



In my craft class last Friday, one of my ladies was looking through the catalogue and fell in love with the Six Sided Sampler, which reminded me that I haven't used it in quite some time! So as I had it out for her to look at, and my UPS man hasn't been with all my new catalogue goodies yet, I decided to use it for this card!

I stamped the hexagons in Pink Pirouette and So Saffron and punch using the Hexagon Punch, and used a Wisteria Wonder card base. The side panel is embossed with the Hexagon Embossing Folder and the flowers are from Pictogram Punches, punched with the matching Bitty Punches.

I finished with the sentiment from Six Sided Sampler and gem on one of the flowers. A nice feminine card I think!

Now I had a visit from the UPS man yesterday afternoon....oooooh I am so going to have some fun with all those new stamps! Watch this space! ;)

Enjoy playing with the sketch and I look forward to seeing all your creations! :)

HapBEE Wedding day!

Hello!

I was asked to make a wedding card featuring 2 bees, and as I have no stamps with bees, I had to get somewhat creative! So I decided to make a punch art bee couple!

I used the Ornament Keepsakes Framelits for this little project, along with circle and oval punches.

I used Vellum Cardstock for the wings, then I made a top hat for the groom and a veil from some Organza Ribbon. The background is created using the Hexagon Embossing Folder.

I quite enjoyed making this one...it's a little different for me!

It was sports day yesterday for Keiran, and I was very proud of him! He came 1st in the running, and second in the sack race and obstacle races! :)

Here he is winning his running race!

I hope you have a wonderful day today...enjoy, whatever you're doing!

Hexagons for Less Is More!

Good morning LIMettes!

Well, I couldn't believe it when I saw the theme over at Less Is More this morning...

HEXAGONS

Why the surprise you ask? Well, over at Sketch Saturday, we also have a hexagon theme, and here is the card that I made for that, which I shall be entering into LIM!

I have used a lovely Daffodil Delight card blank and matted it with some of the lovely Natural Composition Speciality card, which has a lovely shiny embossed look to it. The hexagons are cut from the Hexagon Embossing Folder and then each piece is rubbed with Island Indigo ink and a Sponge Dauber. The butterflies were cut from International Bazaar DSP and the antennae were made using Baker's Twine.

Supplies

Cardstock - Daffodil Delight, Natural Composition Speciality card

Designer Series Paper - International Bazaar

Embossing - Hexagon EF

Punches - Elegant Butterfly, Bitty Butterfly

Other - Baker's Twine
