I have adored the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set from the time it was introduced. Since it’s on the Stampin’ Up! Retiring Stamp & Product List, I thought I would give it a little love and attention on today’s card before it’s gone!

My card design was inspired by this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO445). I decided to “be a square!”
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- My card base is 4 1/2″ square. I used two square dies from the Squares Collection Framelits Dies for the Whisper White and Black layers below the hexagons. The Squares Collection Framelits Dies are retiring and only available while supplies last. See the Stampin’ Up! Retiring Tools & Accessories List.
- Our little secret! My 4 1/4″ Basic Black layer on top of the 4 1/2″ card base is the same one I cropped the smaller square from but it’s buried below the 4 1/8″ layer of Whisper White.
- Stampin’ Up! Neutrals Envelope Paper (retiring) is the perfect weight for creating custom sized envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board. The 12 x 12 paper comes in five sheets each of Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake. Perfect!
- I also used the Envelope Punch Board to create the liner with a pattern from Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper (also retiring). Watch my video to learn how.
- The 2014-2016 In Color Hello Honey (a lovely golden yellow) will be retiring, too, including coordinating ink, card stock and coordinating accessories. The rest of the 2014-2016 In Colors (Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist and Mossy Meadow) are retiring, too. Retiring In Color products tend to sell out quickly and are available while supplies last.

Sure thing. These measurements are of the cropped shape and are approximate. Point to point it’s 1 3/8″. From flat side to flat side, it’s 1 3/16″
can you give the measurements of the hexagon punch please
Wow! This is a great card and I LOVE the colors! I can imagine wearing these colors. Kinda sad to see this set go because, as you’ve pointed out with this card, it makes such pretty design!
SPECTACULAR color combination on this card my friend. I too am sad that this set of products will be retiring. THANKS for sharing!
This is such a beautiful card! I love the bold colors and simple design!
The first thing I do when I get up in the morning (very early) is read the comments on my posts. Thank you for starting my day with a smile!
So CUTE! I totally struggle with hexagons, but you have inspired me.
Have a FUNN day!
I love this card so much! Love everything about it! Thank you as always for inspiring me and giving me new ideas!
This is such a great card, Mary! Love the color pairing and these hexagons. Sad to see them go.
Mary, this card is so pretty. It pops off the page. It is sad to see it go. Have a great day. Ellen Hinds
