Clear and Simple Stamps December Style Watch #5

Well, here we are - the last issue of SW for 2011. I have had a great time being your editor and I can't wait to continue on into the new year with new product, projects and inspiration.
Before we close out 2011, I thought it would be fun to showcase an up and coming trend that will surely be a star during 2012.



What trend am I talking about? Hexagons!!



Slowly but surely, this fun shape has been showing up throughout the world of papercrafting and I just love the look of it. You can make it modern or vintage, shabby or simple. 


For today's project, I'm giving you a little peek at a background stamp set that will be available at CSS very soon...and I promise you this...you are going to LOVE it! I know I do.



In addition to the hexagon pattern, today's project also includes a fun new way to use your tag dies from Clear and Simple stamps!



See you in 2012, Loverlies!

To create the double ended tag for this box, I simply ran the paper through my die cutting machine twice.

 

die cut once...

 

then flip around and die cut again...

 

easy peasy mac and cheesy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve!
