Hexagon Hive Thinlits Card

I have been having fun playing with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die from the new Occasions Catalogue, and this is one of the cards I came up with. I love hexagons, so this was fun to create with.

After die cutting a piece of Whisper White card stock, I decorated the die cut with hexagons offcuts from the die and lots of flowers. The cluster of larger flowers at the bottom right was made with another new set of products from the Occasions Catalogue, the Petite Petals stamp set and matching punch.

Did you note the cute dotted background behind the hexagons, it was done with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. This folder is becoming my all time favourite, and is one of the Sale-a-bration items that you can get for FREE when you purchase $90 during the Sale-a-bration period (January 28th - March 31st, 2014).

Banner Blast

One of my favourite Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration products is the Banner Blast Stamp Set and matching Banner Punch, it is just so cute. On first glance I initially didn't think I would have a use for it, but now I love it, and find myself using it continuously. I also love the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, the colours just work so beautifully together.
