Glimmer Paper

This card uses some Silver Glimmer Paper from Stampin' Up! I used the Hexagon punch to punch the one hexagon of Glimmer Paper and the 4 hexagons of Designer Series Paper. I added a Pink Pirouette stamped flower and some candy dots as embellishments.

Foil Sheets

For this card I punched 1" circles out of Silver Foil sheets, Lost Lagoon, and Blackberry Bliss card stock.
Then it is just  a matter of aligning those circles and adhering to the Whipsper White card stock. I glued down the circles and had some that overlapped the edge of the white card stock. When all were adhered I trimmed off the overlapping pieces. The decorated white card stock is layered on a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock and Blackberry Bliss card base. I got this card idea from Linda Heller at Stamping School.

Oh, Happy Day

I didn't have any of the same elements in the card I CASEd so, just used the layout and made this card. I like the way all the pieces came together.

CASE - ing the New Annual Catalog

Here's another card I CASEd from the new annual catalog. This one looks more complicated than it is. It just requires some punching with the Hexagon punch. The trick is to place the three stamped hexagons in the middle on the card first. I used dimensionals to adhere them to give the card some depth. Then it's a snap to add the two hexagons that I punched from Designer Series Paper. I always have lots of the little thin scraps of card stock (Raspberry Ripple here) and to be honest I don't usually even save ones this small. But I just looked to see what scrap was laying by my paper cutter and then chose the colors based on that scrap.

More Hexagons with Honeycomb Hello

I was just sitting down to make a "job well done" sort of card for my daughter for completing her paralegal course with an A. (Yes I'm proud of her for always exploring new avenues of adventure!) My husband came in the room to ask if I'd received a text from our daughter. Sure enough, she was texting to tell us she accepted the position of Tasting Room Manager at the winery she works at... So, decided a "WOW!" card would cover both achievements.
Using the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper and the Hexagon punch makes this a really quick card. I figure I needed to get this one made and in the mail before she did something else!

Christmas Designs

These are the remaining cards from the shoebox party; all with a Christmas theme. The top three were designed by nieces, three sisters. One niece designed the two middle cards so the youngest sister could come and create with us. I love the hexagon punch tree on top and the Gorgeous Grunge tree below. Creative ways to use non-holiday supplies.
The third card had a similar layout to mine. Sometimes it is eerie how alike we can all be!
The bottom card was made at our hostess' station. She's not even related to us but we have come to just treat her like one of the family. She had lots of paper and shapes and stamped images and stamp sets out for us to make a card. She was a great hostess, inviting us to come early for soup and sandwiches. She had lots of liquid refreshments, too and pumpkin gooey butter cake. A new twist on a St. Louis favorite! I hope we keep planning these parties. We always come up with some memorable expressions and plot ways to drive each other crazy!
