Hexagon Hive Card

This is another card we made in Stamp Club using the new Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die.  It was fun to play with these colors and create this card.  I love bright colors and this card just pops with color!  The original idea was CASED from Justin Krieger at http://jkcards.wordpress.com/.  I ran the Daffodil Delight cardstock through the Big Shot with the Hexagon Hive Die, then did another one with Strawberry Slush cardstock.  I used the pieces that popped out of the Strawberry Slush cardstock to fit into the open holes in the Daffodil Delight.  (Adhere your Daffodil Delight piece down before you add the other pieces.)  There are 2 spots in the die where all sides have connecting spokes and these were used (Basic Black) to layer on top of the hive.  If you carefully snip off the spokes, you have a black hexagon the perfect size for layering.  Then layer the Daffodil Delight pieces onto the black cardstock.  Have fun creating your own patterns!

For the banner tails on the greeting, I used the Banners Framelits Dies to make the tails, then ran them through the Arrows Embossing Folder to add some texture and pattern.

On the inside, I thought it would be great to add some texture.  I stamped the greeting first, then ran the cardstock through the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  Cute, huh?
