Hello and welcome to my blog today. While my husband and I watched our favorite team in the basketball play-offs over the weekend, I got in some stamping time. I was able to spend some time playing around with my inks since our team won by a good many points! Today I have a card to share!
I was intrigued by THIS video from Dawn Woleslagle, owner of WPlus9, showing how to make your own pattern for repeat stamping, and I admired the beautiful cards she made! Highly inspired by her work, I created my own patterns using different colors and sentiments.
By creating a 6" square divided equally into 4 segments, you can easily repeat the same pattern by stamping and turning for each quadrant using the Misti. I can't wait to try this again with other stamps.
After creating the patterned sheet I hated to cut it up but I trimmed it for an A2 card and die cut a hexagon from the center. I placed patterned paper behind it and used craft foam to lift the image. A die cut flower and leaves were added to embellish the layer.
As always, I am thankful for each and every visit! I will list my supplies below.
I am posting into three different challenges today.

That's a great technique for stamping a repeating pattern! Some people are just so clever. Yours turned out very pretty with beautiful and fun colors and stamps. I'm not surprised, of course, because you always do a stellar job on your cards. Really cute with the hexagon window showing the plaid, and the banner and flower over top. You definitely have some cute stamps! You could use the leftover narrow strip to trim the inside maybe. Cindy, I'm glad you shared your card with us at Double D!
This is so very pretty Cindy ... love it!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Gingham’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
