Create a Floating Hexagon Card

 Have you seen the fun floating hexagon cards posted recently? I was intrigued and decided to create a fun card and post for CutCardStock.

Create the Floating Hexagon Base.

I do mostly A2 size cards, so I challenged myself to create the Floating Hexagon in this size. Start with a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of Lessebo Flame cardstock for the back of the card. Score at 2 inches and rotate 180 degrees and score again at 2 inches. Trim another piece of Flame Cardstock to 6 by 2.5 inches. Score on the short edge at 1/4 inch and 2.0 inches. Rotate 180 degrees and repeat. Trim so you have a long piece 1 inch and a second 1.5 inches. This will be used to create the frame for the front of the card.

Create the Decorative Panels

Use 80 lb. White Cougar Cardstock and embellish with embossing folder of your choice. I used Altenew's Intricate Tile 3D Embossing folder. Choose a coordinating color of ink and run the ink pad over the top to highlight the embossed areas. Trim the panel to cover the inside of the panels plus the shorter pieces, leaving a small border.

Assemble the Hexagon Base

Use a glue taper runner to attach the embossed pieces to the scored Flame Cardstock piece. Use red tape on the 1/4 inch edges to attach the front frame to the base. You will need to slide the edges under the embossed panels, matching the edges.

Using the glue tape runner, attach the embossed pieces to their coordinating spaces.

Create the Focal Point Image

I am a big fan of making multiples while I have supplies out. These blooms were created recently with @Altenew's Proud of You bloom and die set and stored for future uses. I simply coordinated the base cardstock color to match the blooms.

Arrange the blooms in a fun way and glue together. Attach to the hexagon card ONLY gluing the area on the middle rectangular section so the card forms a standing hexagon.

Die cut the sentiment and shadow using 100 lb. Cougar White cardstock and Black Licorice Pop Tone Cardstock. Attach the sentiment to the blooms.
