Christmas Six-Sided Sampler Card

1st card

2nd Card

Here's a couple cards I made the other day.  This was the first time I played with the Six-Sided Sampler and Hexagon Punch.  I have seen so many great cards using this stamp set.  I wanted to use it to make a Christmas Card.  I started with a piece of Crumb Cake and layer it with the hexagons.  After I finished the 1st card, I realized the patterns did not line up correctly and it was driving me crazy, so I sat down and made another one. I changed the card base and added another layer.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by,
Karen

    1. Thank you! I inked the edges with In-Color Baked Brown Sugar. The dimensions are the standard dimensions. The card front is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", next layer 4" x 5-1/4", next layer 3-3/4" x 5"

  2. I had to scroll up & down a bit to find the difference (thought my monitor was just lagging and showing me the same pic twice for a minute). I like them both, but the second card does seem a little less busy or more serene - great idea, and wonderful color combination.
