Honey, Honey, How You Thrill Me

(OK, admit it, you sang that as the ABBA song now didn't you?)

For class tomorrow I've used honeycomb as a theme and made three completely different cards showcasing the versatility of this pattern.

First off I went "the whole hog" with dsp segments inside the honeycomb embossing folder. Black and vanilla have been teamed with returning colour Blushing Bride to create this gorgeous confection:

(I know my friend Robby will be salivating over this one; like me, she loves black and vanilla together.)

Materials used:

• stamps - Blooming with Kindness
• card - blushing bride, basic black, very vanilla, Love Letter dsp (retired)
• other - apothecary accents die, clear embossing powder, heat tool, sponge daubers, dimensionals, Big Shot, honeycomb E/F
• non SU - paper doily, Cheery Lynn honeycomb die

My second card is a bright and cheerful hybrid and features plenty of honeycomb shapes. The white honeycomb was cut with a (non SU) die and attached over bashful blue card, then the paper pieces added in.

Materials used:

• stamps - MDS
• card - whisper white, real red, bashful blue, various patterned papers in real red, so saffron, marina mist and Pacific point
• other - honeycomb E/F, Big Shot, dimensionals, real red ribbon, two way glue
• non SU - Cheery Lynn honeycomb die, tweezers

Our third card is one you've seen before; this one was a Top 3 Pick in the Colours and Sketches challenge a couple of weeks ago.

A little birdie tells me there just might be something honeycomb in the new catalogue that I will be happy to see - not long to wait now!

Thanks for stopping by.

A Grateful Heart

So anyway, I was out clothes shopping yesterday and I was trying on an outfit in coral and white over the navy pants I was wearing - and looking in the mirror, I thought how gorgeous those colours looked together and what a great card they would make!

 I'm sure all of you think up cards while you're in the changing room, don't you???!!!

So, here is the card my outfit inspired:

Materials used:

• stamps - Pursuit of Happiness, French Foliage
• card - calypso coral, whisper white, night of navy
• other - honeycomb E/F, Big Shot, labels framelit, festive paper piercing pack, pearls, dimensionals, embossing stylus, piercing mat, piercing tool
• non SU - fabric rose

The fabric rose was one I had in my stash, but you could use re-inkers to colour SU's fabric roses to match whatever colour you need!

Thanks for stopping by.
