We gave the new Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die a test drive at card making class last month. Here’s one variation. This was another card where the choice of DSP or cardstock colour gave lots of variations.
Have a fabulous weekend. A long one here in Victoria and in our place we’re quite looking forward to some relaxing and chilling out. Perhaps a spot of creating too – that’s always relaxing.
Get in touch if I can help with any stamping matters.
Cheers, Sue

I’ve been colouring the stack of presents using different combinations of colours. This was my favourite! I did some others with more layers and what not but I like…
Our Earthen Elegance DSP is lovely to create with. Earthy tones and natural textures. This layout is handy for mixing and matching some of the different designs. (I’ll have measurements in my next newsletter if you’re after the details.) Pop some ribbon over the join and finish with neutrals sequins. I used the Pebbled Path…
Wishing my mother in law a very happy 80th birthday today. She loves butterflies so I used the pretty butterfly paper as the base for this card. The Large Number Framelits are so handy to have it the stash for those milestone birthdays aren’t they. I cut these numbers from the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper…
