Hexagon Inspiration - Designer Challenge

It's time for a new Designer Challenge on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog today.  For June's challenge it's all about Hexagon Inspiration. The inspiration for my project came from ModaScrap's Under the Sea Paper Pack and the Stitched Hexagons. With the Stitched Hexagon die in hand, I set out to create this Life's a Beach Home Decor Project. Make sure to read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my Life's a Beach Home Decor Piece at home. Make sure to read all the way down to the bottom of the post as there's some information on how to get in on the fabulous giveaway from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

From the Sand Castle die, die cut the sand castle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to each of the sand castle pieces. Sprinkle Baked Texture - Dirty Sand Embossing Powder over each piece. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

With the Sand Castle die still out, die cut the bucket and shovel out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Blend Festive Berries Distress Ink with a blending tool and foam over the entire surface of the bucket. Blend Fossilized Amber Distress Ink with a blending tool and foam over the entire surface of the shovel. Apply Emboss It Ink to the handle of the bucket. Sprinkle Baked Texture - Dirty Sand Embossing Powder over the handle. Tap off excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. 

Die cut the 3/4" Stitched Fishtail Banner out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the banner down to 3". Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Life's a Beach sentiment and stamp onto the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut nineteen 1 1/8" Stitched Hexagons out of a variety of the Under the Sea Paper. Cut the hexagons down as needed. Ink the edges of all of the hexagons using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3 5/8" x 6 1/4". Cut a piece of cardboard that measures 3 7/8" x 6 1/2". Apply three coats of White Gesso to the cardboard piece. Ink the edges of both pieces using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the White Soft Finish Cardstock piece to the cardboard piece.

Adhere the stitched hexagons as desired down the front of the White Soft Finish Cardstock piece.

Adhere the sand castle together. Foam square the sand castle to the middle of the stitched hexagons panel.

Adhere the stitched banner 3/4" from the bottom and right against the right hand side of the panel.

A Way With Words Release Day - Thank You Card

It's a new release day over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog, featuring Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words new dies and stamp release. 

For my project, I featured the new Rosebud Wreath & Elements die and the Thank You 2 die, to create this pretty Thank You card. 

To start, die cut all the Wreath from the Rosebud Wreath & Elements from White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the wreath using Black Soot Distress Ink.

From the same die, die cut the single rosebuds with matching overlay four times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Picked Raspberry Distress Ink over each of the rosebud pieces.

Continuing with the same die, die cut the set of three rosebuds four times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Spun Sugar Distress Ink over each of the rosebuds.

The last element you'll need to die cut from the Rosebud Wreath & Elements die is the leaf circle. Die cut the leaf circle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Peeled Paint Distress Ink over the entire surface of the leaf circle.

Die cut the Thank You 2 die, out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Spun Sugar Distress Ink over the entire surface of the word.

Take out the 4 1/4" and 4 3/4" Stitched Circles. Die cut the 4 1/4" stitched circle out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut the 4 3/4" stitched circle out of another patterned paper. Ink the edges of the circles using Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Choose two more coordinating patterned papers that match your circles. Cut one of the patterned papers to 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". Cut the other patterned paper to 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Ink the edges of the patterned papers using Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Adhere the 5 1/4" patterned paper piece to the 5 1/2" patterned paper piece. Adhere the 4 1/4" stitched circle to the 4 3/4" stitched circle. Foam square the 4 3/4" stitched circle to the middle of the 5 1/4" patterned paper piece.

Adhere the solid set of three rosebuds in behind the each of the rosebuds on the frame. Adhere the frame to the stitched circles.

Adhere the leaf circle to the middle of the 4 1/4" stitched circle. Adhere the Thank You sentiment to the middle of the leaf circle.

Adhere a single rosebud overlay to a single plain rosebud. Repeat this for the other three. Adhere two of the rosebuds together and repeat for the other two. Foam square one set of rosebuds to the top left hand side of the T. Foam square the other set of rosebuds to the bottom right hand side of the you. 

Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 5 1/4" x 11 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the card front to the card base.
