Hexagon Tiles Card - Step By Step Tutorial

Hey everyone and welcome to another step by step tutorial.

In todays post I wanted to show you how you can create beautiful pattern on your card by just using one punch.

I got a hexagon punch a while ago but never got round to properly using it so I decided to create a card by using this for the most part. I love how the card turned out and as always you can adjust it however you would like.

I think this would be perfect for a wedding card!

If you want to find out how you can make it then just keep reading.

Steps:

1) You will need a piece of card stock the same size as your card, a hexagon punch (any size is fine, it  may just change how many hexagons you can fit and different pieces of DSP

2) Depending on how big your piece of card stock is and the size of your hexagons then you will need to change how many hexagons you punch out. Any spare ones left over you can always keep to one side for a future project!

3) Using a t-sqaure ruler place your first hexagon in the centre of your card and adhere 

4) Start creating your pattern with the other hexagons. Don't worry about them sticking over the edge as you will be fixing that later. You can have a small gap between each hexagon. Play around with different patterns before permanently sticking anything down 

5) Once you are happy with your hexagons, trim off any excess then take a die the same shape your card and cut so it's smaller than your card. You can move the die around so you control whats in the centre 

6) You can also create a frame for your card using the same size die and a few sizes up. My card base was 6" x 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8" to create a top folding landscape card 

7) Stick your hexagon pattern onto your card and place the frame over it

8) Finally you need to add your sentiment. I have been using this 'happy birthday' one a lot lately but you can use whatever suits you

9) To let the hexagons show through more put your sentiment slightly to one side!

I really hope you enjoyed this post. You could try this technique with other shapes and get a very similar effect.
