Honeycomb and hexagons are all the rage. I've made a couple of different projects with my Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection recently. When the Moxie Fab World came up with a
Hooked on Hexagon challenge, I just knew these cards were perfect. I had used a couple of cards in the July/August Paper Crafts magazine for inspiration and wouldn't you know they were featured in the blog post. The Sweet Threads collection has double sided patterned papers that coordinate nicely. I simply cut out hexagons using my Cricut Accent Essentials cart. Some of the cards have hexagons cut at 3/4 in. and some are at 1/2 in. The hexagons have each been edged with the Ink Blending Tool using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The sentiment comes from an older Close to My Heart stamp set I've had for a while stamped with coffee Archival Ink. A small piece of baker's twine tied into a bow adds just a touch of girly to the card. This set was very fun to make and is an easy way to creatively use up those scraps. Now I'm off to enter this post in the challenge, want to join me?
