A Male Card With Hexagonal Shapes

I have been busy recently preparing for my classes, so that is why I haven't had much time to make some cards to post. 

I finally got time the other day to have a play with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder from the Seasonal Catalogue.  I used Core'dinations Early Espresso card and so sanded it a little after I embossed it.  It makes the shapes stand out that much more.  I added some smaller hexagonal shapes made from the Parker's Pattern DSP range inside some of the shapes. To do this I embossed the DSP paper first and then used my scissors to cut the shapes out using the embossed lines as a guide. I mounted all this onto Whisper White card and lastly added some twine and a sentiment. I think I may try something like this again, but next time use Crumb Cake as my base card.

A Masculine Card

Masculine cards are always a bit of a challenge for me.  When I do make them, I try and stick to blues and browns and use things like brads and twine instead of gems and ribbon. 

Recently we had a masculine card swap with other Stampin' Up! demos.  This is one of the great things about being part of a wider team with other demos, we get to learn and share with each other.  I wasn't able to go to the training day due to my son's soccer on a Saturday morning, but I was able to make some swaps and have a friend take them along so I still got to take part.  I haven't received my swaps yet, but I am looking forward to seeing lots of great, new, creative ideas.

Here is the the card I made:

Supplies:

Stamp sets: Itty Bitty Banners

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso Core‘dinations

DSP: Parker’s Patterns DSP

Ink: Early Espresso

Other: Big Shot, Sanding Block, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, 1/8” Mini Brads, Early Espresso Twine, Bitty Banner Framelit, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Tombow Adhesive

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

Enjoy the rest of your week.
