Today’s the day! The new Essentials by Ellen Release is now available in the shop and we’re celebrating with an Instagram Hop. The Design Ambassadors and our guest for this month, Chari Moss, have prepared loads of inspiration for you. We’re giving away three $25 gift certificates and all you need to do is hop along for your chance to win. While appreciated, comments left here do not qualify.
My card for this hop features the Beehive Die Set, Honeycomb Background Builder Die Set and One in a Buzz-illion Stamp Set. I also included the A2 Piercing Plate 2 and Modern Graphics Vol. 2 Paper Pack. I started this card by choosing my colours, which is the same palette used on all my cards for release week. I die cut the Beehive parts from Ballet Slipper, Grapefruit and light grey cardstock. I glued the layers together and added a black enamel dot door knob.
Next, I created the A2 base panel from Sorbet cardstock and the A2 Piercing Plate 2. I trimmed a 3.75″ x 5″ panel of Candy Hearts cardstock and stamped the sentiment from One in a Buzz-illion using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I also stamped the two bees from One in a Buzz-illion and Love Notes on heavyweight white cardstock.
After die cutting the Honeycomb Background Builder from silver glitter cardstock, I positioned the two pieces behind the Beehive and trimmed off a few hexagons to customize the finished shape. I attached all the panels to the card base, tucking a sliver of striped Modern Graphics Vol. 2 Paper between them and popping up the Beehive with foam tape. To highlight the Honeycomb Background Builder, I added some sparkly pollen using the tiny holes from the Thread Friends Dies.
