Very Happy about Happy Hexagons!

Hello! I received my Papertrey June release order today and it included the Happy Hexagon stamp set and cover plate. I couldn't wait to dig in, so I did! I cut out six different patterned papers from Melissa Frances with the cover plate - which gave me tons of hexagons to work with. Did I mention that I am a quilter? Hexagons make my heart flutter :). Anyway, I knew I just wanted to use the hexagons along one side of the card, so I lined up the negative cut out of the cover plate and set to work adhering the different hexagons. I really like the added dimension the patterned paper hexagons give the cards. The first card I fooled around with the small triangles on the ends - decided that was too much work after the first card. Anyway, with all those lovely hexagons sitting around, I went ahead and made three more cards. I used Think Big Favorites for the sentiment, and the medium scallop die for the bottom edge of the card. I sewed a small zig-zag stitch around the edge to continue the quilting theme. I just love how they turned out - hope you like them too!

  2. Your cards are all gorgeous!! Love the colors and card design. Got mine yesterday but didn't have time to play with them. I do think these hexagons are aptly named :)
