A bit of hexagon tapestry adds an alluring charm to greeting cards using the Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection.  You'll create a mesmerizing hexagonal universe with punched shapes using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and several vibrant prints, color washes and geometric designs from Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Papers.  Add different size floral accents, foliage, and a whimsical scalloped oval sentiment layer and you've created a captivating card for a special occasion.  Using the beautiful floral print designer series papers from Unbounded Beauty Suite, along with two-step stamped flowers in the Flowers of Beauty Bundle to easily delight a loved one with your enchanting creations.  Papers, florals, die cuts, embellishments and sentiments are all included in this two stamp set bundle from the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.    Today's card uses a a monochromatic assortment of Petunia Pop and Berry Burst with a bit of Peach Pie and Fresh Freesia florals and geometric prints.   A sentiment  is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, and Summer Splash 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems accent the two smaller Summer Splash flowers.

The basecard for today's card is Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of Petunia Pop Cardstock creates a matte for another layer of Basic White Cardstock, which creates the image layer.  The Heartfelt Hexagon Punch was used to punch hexagon shapes from multiple prints of the Unbounded Beauty 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  Additionally, one hexagon shape was punched from the 2024-2026 In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper, and a final hexagon shape was punched from Basic White Cardstock and dry embossed using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

Next, to create the florals and foliage element, the Flowers of Beauty Bundle was used.  The flowers were created using two-step stamps.  For the larger flower, Berry Burst Ink was stamped for the outline, then Berry Burst stamped-off  ink was used with the inner flower image.  For the two smaller flowers, Summer Splash Ink was stamped using the outline stamp, then Summer Splash stamped- off ink was used for the inner flower stamp.  Then, the coordinating dies were used to die die cut the foliage leaves from Petunia Pop Cardstock.

    To finish the card, I used a sentiment from Unbounded Love Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop Ink. The sentiment was die cut using the Unbounded Love Dies  the outer border is Petunia Pop Cardstock and the inner layer is Basic White Cardstock.  Accents on the two small flowers were Summer Splash Shimmer Gems, and a Petunia Pop Shimmer Gem was added to the sentiment label.
