Hello everyone! I hope y'all are in for a long video as this one's close to 25 minutes! What started out as an idea to make one or two cards turned into 8 - not bad considering I only used a few sheets of 6x6 patterned paper and a bunch of card stock scraps!
I pulled out the MFT Stitched Hexagon STAX Die-namics and cut out a bunch of patterned papers from the Patio Party 6x6 patterned paper pack that I'd shown in my Patterned Paper Haul video <-----click! to watch that if you missed it!
Now I've been pretty open about the fact that I tend to hoard patterned paper - I honestly just love having it and will flip through it and be inspired by the colors/textures/patterns etc and more often than not will make cards that don't use any papers but were inspired by one. However I do enjoy using it too so that's what I did for this set.
I combined the Hexagon STAX and the papers as well as a bunch of card stock scraps and ran them through my Gemini Junior machine. To create the butterflies I pulled out the MFT Flutter of Butterflies Die-namics in both the Lace and Solid sets. Those die cut from glitter card stock and a satin foil card stock made a GORGEOUS combination!
I used a bunch of different MFT stamp sets and coordinating sentiment Die-namics sets for all of these - I decided to make then all for a variety of occasions.
All of the sentiments were die cut from the same satin foil card stock, and then the coordinating stamped sentiments were white heat embossed onto black card stock.
I used several different colors of Nuvo Gloss and Glitter drops to embellish all the cards - and made sure to set them all aside to let them dry for a full 24 hours before I touched and smeared them (I'm getting so much better at leaving them alone LOL!).
I finished off the insides of all the cards with more sentiments from the coordinating stamp sets used on the fronts and added a bunch of the die cut hexagons and that was it!
