Happy BEEday Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Honey Bee Stamps to celebrate their 4th birthday. I’ve created a couple of project using some of their new April release goodies.

Honey Bee Stamps-Rainbow Wishes, Hexagon Patterns & Awesome Sauce

My first card features the Rainbow Wishes Stencil. A rainbow stencil? Get outta town! This stencil was a total dream and I used distress oxide inks for the color.

Honey Bee Stamps-Rainbow Wishes

I also embossed a sentiment from the Rainbow Wishes stamp set.

Next up is the Hexagon Patterns stencil. Geometrics? Shut the fridge! I ink blended my heart out using Distress Oxides.

Honey Bee Stamps-Hexagon Patterns & Awesome Sauce

For the sentiment I used the Awesome Sauce stamp set. I also popped up a few smaller hexagons using the Hexagon Patterns Honey Cuts.

Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards:

    Your cards are fantastique (Of course with a rainbow 😉) ! The card with the hexagons is amazing, I first thought you had cut the hexagons in the card and raised the whole panel from the base card (I hope you understand what I mean 🤣 !). The visual effect is awesome.
