HEXAGON SUNSET - MEMORIAL DAY

This "Scenic Coast" paper is the most beautifully designed paper I've ever worked with (available through Stampin' Up! in the May - Aug 2026 catalog)  

This hexagon punch is the focus for today's card. 


When I saw the sunrises and the sunset views of these papers, I thought of a photo from a cruise I took with my daughter's - this is leaving Miami, Florida, USA. 

This paper also made me think about today, Memorial Day in the United States. And though not all branches of the US Armed Forces include service on the water, I'm partial to the US Navy where my son serves.  Memorial Day is specifically about remembering the sacrifices made by those service men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms.  

                                           


Here's the link for today's card inspiration  - Facebook .  

And here's my first card of the inspiration design.


This card design uses both the positive and negative pieces of the hexagon shape.  The positive piece is the die cut shape.  The negative shape is the punched-out hole in the card stock.  


You could use a square or a diamond shape as long as the pieces interlock like the hexagon pieces do here.   

The very basic design of this card is made by doing one punch in the front of the card base and then attaching a scenic view on the inside that will show through this punch out. 


You could either glue a Scenic Coast print to the back of front behind the punched space or glue it to the inside so that when you open the card you see the full view of the print - then just sign your card above it. 

You'll find that by using the many coordinated prints in your paper packet, that it is like putting a puzzle together - you are choosing which prints look the best in each space.  

Have fun with this.


Add one of the anchor charms, available (May - September 2026) or leave it off.
