Would you like to make your own cards with a modern, graphic look? Using hexagons punched from Vaessen Creative linen cardstock, you can create a colourful design full of texture and depth. By combining different sizes and shades, you build a dynamic pattern that stands out beautifully. In this DIY, you will learn step by step how to layer and arrange the shapes to design a unique handmade card for any occasion.
Utilize the hexagon craft punch set and select the second and third largest punches. Grab the Florence linen cardstock multipack. Punch out 20 hexagons measuring 22 x 25 mm from 20 sheets, and 20 hexagons measuring 33 x 38 mm from the other 20 sheets.

Now, take the 20 sheets where the smaller hexagons were punched out. Grab the larger punch and align it precisely over a smaller cut-out. By punching in this manner, a hexagon border is formed.

Take a double card in kraft colour and start placing the layered hexagons in the corner. Glue them together in rows of 5, with one of them sticking out halfway.

Use a guillotine cutter to trim it into a straight card.

Now, punch out a hexagon from two colours of paper using the largest punch from the set (44 x 51 mm).
