Pull out those die cuts and punches and join in the latest Catered Crop recipe swap – So Shapely. How fun!
For my card, I broke out my hexagon dies again. I love these dies but sometime struggle with how best to use them. So once again, I tried to simplify things and keep them clean. Well, clean for me at least.
Linda has curated another fabulous board on Pinterest to give our creativity a jump start. Click in the photo to be taken to her board, To Die For – Die Cuts and Punches.
As usual, while working on my project, I had a song stuck in my head. Sooooo, I thought I would share it with you. Check out the Pipettes singing “Pull Shapes”.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you will link up you “Shapely” project at the Catered Crop Recipe Swap.

It's so cute! I saw it on Make it Monday.
Beautifull and inspiring card! The colors are my favorites, love all the oranges. It is very clean - But you can see how much work was done and how much attention to details, like the stitching around and the layred butterfly!
I also love the photo setting, with all the buttons around (: Orange is my favorite color..
