Card lovin'

Some more cards that I whipped up at the end of last year, that I loved but never got the chance to blog about!

 This one was Felicity's birthday card. I used my Hexagon punch from Stampin Up to punch out different coloured scraps of aqua Patterned Paper and I love it!! The sweet little owl juuuuuusssstttt fit inside the hexagon, so he had to be included too!

 Next I broke out my hexagon embossing folder (also from SU) and thought I'd mix it up a bit by cutting along the embossed line to make an interesting edge. I'm so happy with it! I had this really sweet red patterned paper with a very baroque image on it, and I had no idea how to use it so you could still see the image. Well, when I mounted it behind the hexagon panel, it was perfect! I added the sentiment, some ribbon and a paper flower and voila!

 And cos it was so good, I made another one, just slightly different {wink!}

 I Love Hot Air Balloons! Do you? I'm loving this set from SU, and it goes so perfectly with the tiny Memory Box cloud dies I bought! Don't they cut such cute little clouds?! I embossed a piece of grey card with my chevron embossing folder and this card has to be one of my faves!

 Here's one that I threw together using all the scraps left over on my desk. I love when these cards practically make themselves! Cos I pick up all the bits, throw them down and just tweak the placement a little and I love it! The colour combo on these 2 cards- grey, aqua & yellow is gorgeous too, you can't go wrong!

 And for a totally different colour scheme I went with pale pink and aqua for these next 2 cards. I embossed 3/4 of the pink card so the top of the card would be patterned but the bottom 1/4 would be plain so you can see the pattern on the paper. Me muchos likey! It's quite interesting!

 And I made another one, similar. Hehe.

 Here's another fave card (have I said that about all the cards today?? {giggles}. The background paper is sooooo cool! Its from a pad of 12x12 paper, maybe even an Aldi one. Love it! I used some hexagon embossed aqua card, silver glitter washi tape and a punched shape for the sentiment. I love the colours and the patterns and the texture on this card!

So again, I made another one. {smiles}. This colour scheme is perfect for a modern wedding card, but for birthdays, babies, thanks, anything!
