This has been a fantastic week at Clear and Simple Stamps. Two days ago, we released a TON of new product! Today the fun continues as I share more projects using our newly released stamps.
At the end of 2011, I created a project for Style Watch that gave you a little sneak peek at a new stamp set and now I'm excited that it's available for purchse!
The Background Basics 1 set, includes a variety of trendy patterns that are perfect to add pizazz to any project. Use them as backgrounds or as the focal of your card.
For today's projects, I've created a set of cards using my favorite of the background patterns - the hexagons!
Take a look at this colorful and simple card set where I utilize white space as a important element of the design.

It was super simple to use the hexagon pattern in Background Basics 1 to create these all-occasion cards. I just stamped the pattern on several colors of cardstock, cut out the shapes, then adhered with dimensional adhesive! I love the dimension on these!
