Welcome to the Blog Tour for August presented by RemARKable Stampers. We'll be focusing on the money-saving Bundles being offered by Stampin' Up! with our blog tours this year. There are so many Bundles in the big catalog, we couldn't even decide which one to focus on this month! So, each Demonstrator gets to focus on whichever Bundle they want. You're going to see lots of variety, but they'll all be awesome!
I decided to focus on the Honeycomb Hello Bundle on page 84. This bundle includes the Honeycomb Hello Set in your choice of Clear-Mount or Wood-Mount and the coordinating Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die. There are a few other products that coordinate with this bundle as you'll see in my projects. Plus, I feel like this is an often overlooked bundle.
First, I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die in the "normal" manner, just cutting a piece of card stock with it and layering it on my card. I layered it over a piece of the English Garden Designer Series Paper which has bees all over it. It's perfect for this bundle! I did sponge some Hello Honey Ink all over it first. By the way, the Fine-Tip Glue Pen that will be available soon in the Holiday Catalog is perfect to use when adhering the hive cutout!
Uses Honeycomb Hello Clear-Mount Bundle plus Hello Honey Classic Stampin' Pad, So Saffron Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad, Hello Honey Card Stock, Soft Suede Card Stock, English Garden Designer Series Paper, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Stamping Sponges, Hexagon Punch, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, and Clear-Mount Block A.
Next, I used just a portion of the Hexagon Hive cutout that I'd trimmed down with my Paper Snips. The heart image in this set is also a perfect match for the small heart punch included in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.
Uses Honeycomb Hello Clear-Mount Bundle plus Melon Mambo Classic Stampin' Pad, Blushing Bride Classic Stampin' Pad, So Saffron Classic Stampin' Pad, Melon Mambo Card Stock, Blushing Bride Card Stock, So Saffron Card Stock, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tear & Tape Adhesive, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Blushing Bride 1/4" Cotton Ribbon, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Paper Snips, Craft Scissors, Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, and Clear-Mount Block A.
I think this next card is my favorite. No bees on it, but I did use the coordinating Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Hexagon Punch, heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, and heart-shaped Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Sticker. This time I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlits to cut a piece of Designer Series Paper and just used the tiny hexagons that are cut out in the middle of the Hexagon Punch pieces.

One of my favorite ways to use the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die is to create a soccer ball by layering the cutout over a piece of card stock and then punching out a circle (or cutting one out with the Circles Collection Framelits). This makes a great card for my soccer loving guys!
Uses Honeycomb Hello Clear-Mount Bundle plus Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Sky Classic Stampin' Pad, Pear Pizzazz Card Stock, Soft Sky Card Stock, Basic Gray Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, SNAIL Adhesive, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Fringe Scissors, Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, and Clear-Mount Block A.
For my final project, I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die as a mask and sponged Smoky Slate Ink through it onto some white card stock to create a patterned background. The X's on the bottom of the card were created with the new Festive Flower Builder Punch available soon in the Holiday Catalog.
Uses Honeycomb Hello Clear-Mount Bundle plus Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad, Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Pad, Cherry Cobbler Card Stock, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic Gray Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape, Stamping Sponges, Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Festive Flower Builder Punch, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Multipurpose Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, and Clear-Mount Block A.
