I’ve been itching to make a shaped card but didn’t know where to start until I saw the weekly challenge at The Friday Mashup is Hexagons or Triangles. Before Christmas, I just HAD to have the Spellbinders Hexagon dies, so it was time to break them in!
I used the largest die for the card base and the smaller dies for each of the layers… including the sun. It almost looks like a Minecraft sun 😉 If any of your kids (or husbands) are obsessed with the game like a certain 12 year old in my house is, then you know what I’m talking about. This was also a perfect opportunity to use the Spellbinders embossing folder So Trendy with the hexagon pattern. I added a border punched with the Fiskars Apron Lace border punch. I inked all the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress ink to help define the layers. The sentiment from Hero Arts was popped up on foam tape. I decided to hand cut the sunbeams to make the little hexagon look more sun-like. 🙂
The inside was super easy. I just die cut the inside hexagon with two strips of the patterned paper and inked all the edges.
