Today, Simon Says Stamp is having a Blog Hop to celebrate their newest release, Crafty Hugs !! This release is filled with lots of wonderful stamps/dies and accessories, that will give crafty hugs to family, friends and heros when you create with them! I am thrilled and, as always, so honored to be a part of today's hop, along with some pretty amazing artists! We hope to inspire you to have some fun and give some crafty hugs of your own to others! I have made two cards with the very pretty new Center Cut Hexagon Floral stamp...
I stamped a large card panel with the entire stamp in my MISTI (you have to take the pad out of the MISTI to be able to stamp comfortably, as this is a cling stamp) with smoke gray ink. I colored only the hexagons with the single flower with stem, then put the whole piece of cardstock back in my MISTI. I wiped it with my magic bag to avoid any static cling, then stamped with versamark and gold embossed. I die cut and layered the hexagons, and adhered to an almost 6" card. I used a sentiment from the new Hexagon Greetings, also embossed in gold. I colored the edges of the card with the marker that I used for the petals of the flowers, so the colors would be the same. Here's a close up...
The second one, like the first, but simply used the center cut piece...
I colored, layered and then made the card lengthwise with the sentiment from the wonderful new Greetings Mix 2 sentiment stamp set. I colored the sides the same as the I did with the first, but opted for no gold on this one. Here's a close up...
OK...my fun is above, your fun is below!

Perfect timing for me as the Hexagon product in this release are my favorite and I just bought some long card stock and envelopes. What color are the flowers?
