Hey guys! How is your week going? There's a lot happening here on my blog this week, and it's all gooooood! Did you see my post on Tuesday for SCT Magazine? I loved that post! And today and tomorrow, two more posts! Yep, I've been busy. I hope you are doing great and getting in crafty time and relaxing time.
Today's post is all about a big fabulous blog hop to launch the Pinkfresh Studio June 2020 Product Release! YIPPPEEEE! At the bottom of this post, you can read about prizes, and shipping specials, and see the links to the blogs for today. I'm always so excited to participate in a beautiful new release from our friends at Pinkfresh Studio!! Their products are so pretty and nice to create with. I made two cards today using the same product suite: Hexagons! Yes, hexagons are back on trend, and I LOVE it!
First up is a country quilt feeling card I made using the Simply Hexagons Die and the Pop Out Hexagons stamp set with matching dies. Such a creative and fun product collection! My finished card is an A2 card base from Kraft cardstock.
The theme of my card was making a patchwork quilt. I have a quilt on my couch at home in these pretty colors…pinks and dusty blues and greens… So it inspired my card. I used bits of patterned paper for some hexagons, and embossed some of the hexagons… Love how fun this turned out.
This hexagons stamp set comes with small sentiments that fit inside the hexagons. It also has these tiny floral clusters with matching dies. It's really all so fabulous. I die cut the hexagons die from kraft cardstock and glued it to the front of the card. Then I used that as a 'frame' for all my different elements.
Here's how the Simply Hexagons Die cuts out – a perfect A2 size!!! Cuts like a dream.
I used the hugs die cut to add a bit of a darker element for contrast. I used white paint to splatter over the card. I heat embossed parts of it too, with white embossing powder…. Oh, and added a few hearts and enamel dots for good measure!
These diagonal strips are one of the small stamps that come with the Pop Out Hexagons stamp set.
For visual interest, some of the hexagons are popped up with foam circles, and some are glued flat to the card. That's one of my fav techniques – building up elements with foam tapes.
Put on your sunglasses for this next card! I used the same supplies as the card above – but made this one into a beehive honeycomb shaker card! Full of warm golden tones and pretty crystals!! This finished card is also an A2 card base. I used Distress Inks and blended them to look like a beehive. Felt like some good vibes to me!
This card took a little bit of construction… I inked my paper, splattered it, blended it, etc. THEN, I used the Simply Hexagons Die to cut it out. Then, I made it into a shaker card… But only three of the hexagons are shakers. The rest are flat inside the outlines of the hexagon frame. I used acetate over those three hexagons and used the gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Crystals to fill them.
The card needed some black or another dark color to contrast all that yellow so I made my focal point a circle with a sentiment inside! I inked the edges of the circle and also stamped some of the small florals onto that circle.
This product right here is LIFE CHANGING!! I just got these a couple weeks ago and wowza. 1/8 inch strips of foam tape!!!! Perfect for shaker cards and long pieces to attach together!!! I used these strips along all the frames of my hexagons to mount it above and to make the shaker card portions.
Here is my ink blended background before I jazzed it up with water, ink, and splatters!! Such a sunny and pretty color combination. I'm really into yellow right now for summer projects. I use Bristol Cardstock for a nice even blend.
OOOOH. It's getting good now!
And here it is cut out with that beautiful die! YUM.
Good vibes to you!! Here is a close up of my focal point. I use the Phrase Builder dies A LOT – and love how they have outlines (in vellum) dies too. See the pretty yellow crystals?? Yeah, I spilled them. But what a pretty mess!

Another creative use of the hexagon stamp and die. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely cards, I love your first card, reminds me of my grandmother’s quilts! This is a terrific new release, love all of those neat stamps and dies.
Wow…two completely different looks and I love them both. My favorite is your kraft card using some patterned papers!
Great cards, Wanda!
Your “quilt” card is lovely but that “honeycomb “ card is just gorgeous! All those details; blending, splatter, embossing and shaker, are inspiring to me!
Two beauties for sure… love the softness of the first and the second is dripping with sweetness!! Great job girl. I think this hop is so fun, now if I would be lucky enough to win that die would be in my basket toot sweet. Thanks for sharing these and I hope you have an amazing weekend.

Thanks for the amazing inspiration! The new stamps and dies are fantastic. And I love your cards. Especially the first one. I am a huge fan of kraft cardstock. I love all the little details on that sweet card.
Beautiful cards. My favorite is the first one. I love the kraft card base and I have the perfect cardstock pad to duplicate it. Now all I need is the wonderful hexagon pop-out stamp.
That first card is just loaded with pretty little things!
Stunning blending on the second card. It looks like it’s shining.
So much to look at in your kraft card. I love it.

Wanda, I’m totally impressed with both of your cards!! The design & layout & depth & dimension & colour, & & &… I could go on & on but you don’t want a book to read. lol I also want to add that I really like the new (to me) picture of you at the top of your blog. The colours of the leaves & the wrap you are wearing make it a very flattering one.
This is the best release for me, bar none as I love geometric shapes & the fact that someone thought to have pieces of the stamps pop out is pure genius!!
Oh my! This must be one of my favourite stops along that hop, both your cards are simply out of this world, love them!
Such a pretty card..love seeing this die used with kraft cardstock.
Love both of the cards you created from the hexagon stamp & die set. Who doesn’t enjoy a shaker card? Even an adult that gets one, is excited & shacks the heck out of it! I also really enjoyed the card made with craft, the colors are just perfect!
Awesome cards! Love the quilt look hexagons and the fun shaker honeycomb look.
Beautiful cards! I love the yellow one- so bright and happy!
Love your card designs!!
That hexagon card you made is perfect.The craft cardstock and colours you used are so pretty. And I love the background you made for the yellow card.
The hexagon die is my favorite! It looks great in the Kraft color. And spectacular in honey yellow 🤩
Love your techniques! Beautiful!
I absolutely love both of your cards! That first “country quilt” one has so many wonderful little details. But, I think the yellow hexagon one stole my heart! Those shaker sections! What innovative new products!
It’s amazing how different things look on kraft cardstock. So cool. I absolutely love the good vibes card!

Beautiful work on these cards. I love the many options with this new set.
So pretty!
The first hexagon card with the kraft and pattern paper is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE card from that die and stamp set. Pink and kraft are two of my favourite colours. This card is STUNNING, you really nailed the quilt vibe. And the 2nd card, I love your ink blending and splatter, and how you only made a few of the hexagons into shakers. Genius!
I love hexagon, your first card with pattern paper and kraft combo looks wow. Love the interest with enamel dots.
I’m in LOVE with your cards! This hexagon set is my favourite from this release
