Rest & Refresh Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Rest & Refresh Release Blog Hop! I’ve got two cards to share with you featuring the Hexagon Element die.

SSS-Hexagon Element

For this first card I blended Distress Oxides on a panel, flicked with water and also flicked with smooshes Oxides and then die cut the panel using the Hexagon Element die.

SSS-Hexagon Element

For the background I flicked some Licorice Liquid Watercolor and popped the panel onto a Fog base. I adhered a gold metallic die cut hexagon onto the panel and popped up the blended hexagons with foam tape. For the sentiment I used the Hex Yeah set by Cathy Zielske.

SSS-Hexagon Element

For this next card I some of the leftovers from the first card. The blended hexagon outline die cut was adhered to a white panel and filled with a few of the gold metallic hexagons. That’s what ya call being thrifty AND nifty:)

SSS-Hexagon Element

For the sentiment I used the Big Friend die and added a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.

SSS-Hexagon Element

Here’s video to show you how I created these cards.

Anyway, I really like the hexagons and love what you did with the die. I’ve recently been getting into the hexagon shape (thanks to the card making industry!!). Thank you for the video.

    Laura, you always make me laugh. I love the way you present your projects…and Yes, I too always loved those crazy smells. And I think the reason why was, that I knew I was going to have a great time creating…and being with people who love to just let go and make something that they love. Love by association to smell….crazy I know. LOL
    Your cards were awesome today. As always! And I put Press & Seal on my shopping list as I am now out…and I need it !!! Thank you again for always being so generous with your talent. Have a wonderful weekend.

    I, too, love the smell of turpentine and oils. However, this next comment is cautionary. I would be careful about smelling all those toxic fumes because there is really some research that says that perhaps that might be a cause for Parkinson’s Disease. (My husband had Parkinson’s so I did a lot of research on it before he passed.) Gasoline string trimmers are particularly bad.
    Just saying….

    Love this two-fer! I really like how you inlaid only a few of the gold pieces in the second card, and that scripty friend is such a great contrast with the geometrics.

    Thank you, Laura; I just love your tutorials. That nifty trick you do with Press-n-Seal and dimensionals makes it so much easier than just paper-piecing, and it’s nice to see a honeycomb used without bees. 😁 Going to have to get me that die! 😎
