I just fell in love with the free stamps that came with issue 109 of Creative Stamping Magazine. I chose to work with the hexagon stamps first using yellows and greens and added glossy accent highlights. My sister’s birthday was coming up and the hexagons made me think of bees. Not long after the ‘punny’ sentiment came to mind. Hence the design of the first card using one of my now favourite card folds the Pop up Easel Block card. The Tattered Lace Freda Frog die was perfect for what I had in mind, I printed and cut from the charisma downloads. The bee was made using Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4 Pack 663852, Bee by Lisa Jones and the sentiments using Bright Rosa Sentiment dies snipped to create the words ‘hop’ and ‘bee’. I used nesting hexagon dies to cut out the stamped hexagons. I had quite a few of the hexagons left over and when I needed to send a card to a crafty friend who has been under the weather, I thought the bright colours would cheer her up. The ‘Thinking Of You’ sentiment was die cut using a Card Making Magic die set.
