Stampin’ Up Heartfelt Hexagon Card

BySue Madex February 4, 2024July 30, 2025

The new Heartfelt Hexagon Punch by Stampin’ Up is just perfect if you love to tile your favourite coordinating patterned papers for a quick and simple card. This has been a very popular Saleabration paper – the Flight and Airy DSP. Isn’t it pretty.

I’ve added another day at work this year so am teaching Mondays to Thursdays now. So quick and simple will continue to be my middle name I think in the card making space. Although I am still loving those never ending cards – I think I’m up to about 6 so far this year. They’re much easier than they look.

Have a great week.

Cheers, Sue

BySue Madex February 19, 2010August 30, 2025

Some stamps are instant favourites. I love these ones. For the greeting on these sparkly cards I’ve used the SaleABration set ‘Whimsical Words.’ These fit nicely in some of our punches too for a punched greeting (the ovals work well – wide and large.) This set works well with Stampin Write Markers too – you…

Stipple Rose Colouring

BySue Madex June 6, 2008August 29, 2025

Who loves roses? The large rose stamp (Stipple Rose) has always caught my eye in our catalogue. I thought it would be great for some of the different colouring techniques and I was right. Here is what I’ve been doing this evening. I used my blender pen and Stampin’ Pastels to shade the rose, building up…
