Hello Hexagon Butterfly Card
I've been wanting to CASE this cute card design from page 105 of the Annual Catalog for a while, and now that the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set and coordinating Hexagon Punch are retiring…it was time to get to it!
Background Basics—I started by stamping some flecks of Sahara Sand from my Timeless Texture stamp set diagonally across a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Whisper White. There is also a similar speckled image in the Gorgeous Grunge set. Next, I matted that piece on a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Pool Party card stock and adhered it to a Tip Top Taupe card base.
Hexagon Foundation—I stamped five different hexagons from the retiring Six-Sided Sampler set onto Whisper White card stock and punched them out with the Hexagon Punch. I used Pool Party for the two shapes on the ends, then used Tip Top Taupe, Smoky Slate and Sahara Sand for the remaining ones.
Bundle It & Save! Purchase the retiring Six-Sided Sampler & the Hexagon Punch together in a bundle to save 15% off the price of purchasing them separately!
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped one of the greetings from the Six-Sided Sampler set in Memento Black Ink after positioning the hexagons, but before popping them up with Dimensionals.
Butterfly Accents—I fishtailed the ends of a 4-1/2" x 1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper, then adhered it with three Glue Dots across the hexagons. I die-cut the Bold Butterfly from Pool Party card stock and attached it with more Glue Dots, slightly bending the wings. A few Rhinestone Jewels were added for more sparkle.
TIP: I love using my Big Shot Die Brush to help get all those little pieces from the butterfly
Two Cool—My second version simply swaps out the Pool Party color for Blushing Bride.
I changed the greeting to another phrase from Six-Sided Sampler.
