STAMPIN' UP! HEXAGON HIVE & STARBURST SAYINGS

On the weekend I had a play with a couple of new-to-me products.  Well, not so new - but unused.  I am such a 'collector' of Stampin' Up! products, and lately have been rather guilty of buying but not using a number of things.  I get a lot of enjoyment from having a craft room set up with so many supplies that it's like going shopping in my own personal shop! LOL.

I used Stampin' Up!'s beautiful coaster board (thinner than chipboard, but sturdier than cardstock) with the Hexagon Hive thinlits die; it cut beautifully.  I'd bought, but not inked up, the Tape It stamp set, so that formed the starting point of my card.  My Color Coach suggested I use Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi together - and I love it!  Here's what I came up with; a masculine card, which (as you may know) is my favourite kind of card to make:

Card: Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Coaster Board

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake
