Hi friend.  Have you tried the Hip Kit Club exclusive dies yet?  These high-quality dies are a great investment and so versatile!  Today, I have a used the Honeycomb die not only as a die, but also used it as a stencil to add depth to my embellishment cluster.

The August kits are so stunning – their vibrant colours and elements inspired me to make a really eye-catching border.

I die-cut the honeycomb design using the green card from the Cardstock kit.  Before using the honeycomb pieces in a traditional manner, I blended ink through the reverse side onto white cardstock.  I always blend from the edge outwards so the edges are soft.

I used Squeezed Lemonade and Saltwater Taffy (Color Kit) to make a pretty but subtle background.

I fussy cut flowers and leaves from the patterned paper and mixed them in with die-cut and chipboard pieces (Main kit and Embellishment kit).  I snipped the honeycomb pieces and tucked them between the layers for more depth.

The acetate hearts from the Embellishment kit are so stunning!  I layered a few in the border and love the way you can see the layers through the translucent hearts.

You can watch the full process on our YouTube channel:

I hope I have inspired you to try out the very versatile Honeycomb die.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.
