Carrie's Custom Cards: Get Well Soon Honeycomb Haven Card

I recently began subscribing to Altenew's Craft-Your-Life monthly subscription, and my first kit arrived earlier this month! It's great to receive the kits the month before they are released on the website! This one is such a fantastic kit with a honeycomb 3D embossing folder, a stamp set with loads of great sentiments as well as a honey pot (that could be a jam or a jar for flowers) and honey dipper that are layering stamps. Then there's the amazing stencil set with a coordinating die that cuts out all the flowers, bees, and honeycombs, and leaves at once that I used to create this card. Seeing a sneak peek of this kit was what convinced me to subscribe. My grandpa used to keep bees and harvest the honey, so I've always loved bee-themed items.

This card was created during the subscriber live session Altenew has started doing for anyone who subscribes to any of their monthly subscription products. It was such a fun session, and I followed Maryam Perez's design to create this card. During the class, we started by ink blending the 6 X 6 stencil set and the die cutting a circle out of a portion of the stenciled background. Then we die cut the rest of the background with the coordinating Zero Waste die. It cuts all the elements at once, making it quick and easy to create flowers, bees, leaves, and little hexagons. I added the other 2 bees the stencil creates and the die cuts out using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape and then stamped the "hope you get well soon" sentiment from the stamp set that comes with this kit. This is a very CAS card (which is not typical for me!), but I really like how it turned out!
