We had a lovely time at Crafternoon last week with the new hexagon hive thinlit die to make either a double scrapbook layout or 4 cards. Here is the double layout that we made. I found that cutting the hexagon hive with wax paper between the die and the card stock allowed me to remove the pieces without any problem. The surround of the hexagons was snipped off to leave a more random honeycomb effect.
The lettering as made using the Typeset Alphabet dies cut in Soft Suede and Crushed Curry and glued together with Tombow.
The second page had a pull out journaling page, the tab was really easy to make using the envelope punch board.
Each of the honeycomb pieces were sponged with soft suede, the solid pieces were overlaid with crushed curry hexagons that had also been sponged with soft suede. The Bees came from the stamp set Backyard Basics that had been stamped in Black Stazon. Each of the bees wings, body and the honeycomb pieces were highlighted with Crystal Effects.
I’ll take photos of the cards we made in the hexagon class and share them here very soon. If you want to join us for some crafty time – check out my latest list of events here I have daytime classes with cheap creche, crop nights and more, of course if you can’t make any of those time slots let me know, get 4 friends together and I’ll bring the class to you.
