Welcome to addinktive designs and our fourth Colour INKspiration Blog Hop! The CI Crew are back again to help kick start this round of Colour INKspiration Challenges.
Just in case you haven’t heard, Colour INKspiration is on Facebook and we have over 1000 group members!
This fortnight we have a lovely swatch of purple and yellows to work with, thanks to a great pic I found on Pinterest.
The Colour Palette for #CI04 is – Delightful Dijon, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White and Crushed Curry. Other neutrals are welcome such as Black, Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Kraft, Sahara Sand and Metallics.
I was so inspired to make a Hexagonal Base Pop-Up Card after seeing an awesome video by Sanjay Soriano on the Demonstrator Party Planning Place on Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/sanjay.soriano/videos/g.524888487698159/1893262964277457/?type=2&theater
I thought the colour palette was perfect for a pretty floral display using the Botanical Builder Framelits and then added a couple of winged creatures (dragonflies from Touches of Texture) for the latest challenge at the Global Design Project.
Here’s what the base looked like before adding the flowers –

I followed the tutorial link, made sure I pinned this beaut card fold on Pinterest and created my version for tonight’s colour challenge.
Thanks so much for hopping by!

I forgot to add that I also used a small square from the Stitched Framelits Dies for the panels on the hexagon base.
September 2022 – Have you checked out the updated version of this type of card?
This is just fabulous Bronwyn. It’s on my ‘must try’ list. These colours are just striking with this. Love the little dragonfly.
Beautiful Bron – I can’t wait to try this out! I just love the texture & layering. Kelly x
WOW love this I have to give this a go too 🙂 the dragonflies are a perfect touch to this x
Love your version Bron, the ‘lid’ makes such a perfect backdrop – now on my ‘must try’ list of project.
This is totally gorgeous Bron! So floral, so elegant, so feminine. I think I might have to make something like this for my Mum for her birthday – she would love it!! xxx
Wow! What an amazing card! Love It! X
That is super gorgeous, might just have to get the bundle
this is…I’m lost for words…beautiful, stunning, gouges…..love love
Yep, MIL’s birthday sorted! Fantastic card from the Queen of pop up/out cards! Honestly, you have so much patience!
Amazing project Bronwyn! It’s totally unique- and such a clever use of that die set. Congratulations!
Love this Bronwyn. I can’t wait to make one. Just add that to the list. 😉 xx
Beautiful, truly gorgeous!
This is definitely on my list of thin gs to try Bronwyn, I adore what you have created and the video is so helpful too. Thank you
Such an amazing project Bron. Just lovely. Def on my “Must Make” list
Incredibly beautiful card. Wasn’t going to buy this bundle until now!
Super stunning. Can’t wait to give this a try. It looks divine in these colours. x
oh wow Bronwyn!!! That is absolutely amazing! I definitely need to CASE this one!
Um, WOW! <– I think I start all my comments to you like this! But seriously! I truly love that every thing you make is a work of art. You just go way above and beyond! This is amazing! Thanks so much for taking part in this week's Global Design Project.
Lovely use of those thinlets, very beautiful. Damn I just might have too buy them now so I CASE this project. Thanks for the inspiration.
Once again, Wow!! Just stunning!
WOW. WOW, this is absolutely Beautiful. I love making the card in a box style of cards but this goes way beyond that. What you have made is so, so stunning words do not do it justice. I do have a question if I may – I watched the video you added the link for and in that the 2 hexagons are scored and pushed up from the bottom through the box to form a platform / shelf to add a panel into. With your version having a hexagon lid at the back, which I absolutely love, did you only have 1 hexagon to push up from the bottom or did you attach another hexagon for the lid? Hope that makes sense. Your card is amazing Bronwyn and you have, as you’ve done many times, inspired me so very much. Many thanks. Take good care.
Hi Linda. I attached another hexagon with one bottom flap and glued this to the back, middle section on the hexagonal base. Hope that makes sense to you.
I am just revisiting this blog post for your stunning Hexagon Box pop-up card to gain inspection for one I want to try for my mother-in-law’s birthday next month. I have just noticed the thank you for your reply did not register, why, who knows, suffice to say the joys of technology! I did very much appropriate your reply, thank you. And as you can see I am retuning for more inspiration. Take care.
Beautiful creation Bronwyn! I love how you’ve used the lid for the back and the colours are just stunning. Thank you again for linking the video on your blog. X
Inspiring, stunning and fun! I’m going to attempt a similar version. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely stunning – thanks for the inspiration! I’ve just CASEd this 🙂
I love it! You created an awesome concept. Haven’t seen it anywhere else!
