Six Sided Sampler

Happy New Year everyone.
 
I had a quiet New Years Day at home with my family and I had some time to play this afternoon.
I made 3 cards using the "Six Sided Sampler" stamp set and matching punch.  The colour scheme is Basic Black and Baked Brown Sugar.  I wanted to have a masculine feel to my cards and I just adore these two colours together.
 
These are the cards.
 

Card 1
 
I used the Stripes embossing folder to create the black gingham background piece.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set, black button and Linen Thread to finish.  Other tools used were the Hexagon Punch with the matching stamp set "Six Sided Sampler".
 

 
Card 2
 
The tools I used are the Honeycomb embossing folder, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Hexagon punch, small circle from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1/2" Circle punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch,  along with stamps "Six Sided Sampler", "Music Notes" Wheel, "Simply Serif Mini Alphabet" and "Fabulous Phrases", a piece of
Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon was added to finish off the card.

 
Card 3
 
The background was made by stamping and punching out the shapes using the "Six Sided Sampler" stamp set and matching Hexagon punch, then sticking them down on a piece of card cut to size.  Other tools used are Chevron Border punch, embossing folder from the new Sale-a-bration catalogue, Ticket Duo Builder punch and matching stamp set "That's the Ticket", with finishing touches Burlap Ribbon.
