I love the numerous honeycomb options with this kit (stamp, die cut, printed elements) and I think I used all of them on this card.

This card started with the honeycomb stamping and then just sort of took on a life of its own. I fussy cut the stamped bees and love how they look.

Okay, I went a little stamp-happy with the bees, but I just love them so much!!

Everyone knows I love to ink blend with the leftover shapes from the punchout. That's how I created the circle on this card.

I usually make a "pride" card each year. I'm a little early on this one but I just loved the bees in the different colors.

I embossed this card front with the Distressed Tile 3D folder before mounting it to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

I loved this sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set. (Retiring soon.) I also tried a thing cutting the hives in the corners. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it's different.

I stamped the hive in the upper left corner and added a die cut over it. I used a cutout leftover from an ephemera pack to frame the sentiment., and a piece of old DSP to back it.

My masculine entry for this month. I stamped the hives in gray ink. And then went with the simplicity of the bees against the blurred circle. I love how it came out.

This was going to be my "masculine" card this month, but I wasn't sure if the paper and yellow dots are a little too girly. Either way, the old DSP really works for this card, and I love the ephemera sentiment.

The three tags I made this month.

I stamped and colored the bee and flower for this tag.

How stunning are these die cuts against black tags? I love them! So, I kept the tag simple.

Another black tag with the die cuts glued to it.

Here's my first alternate for "Hello, Spring." I used Lemon Lime Twist card stock as the base and something about that green patterned paper just screamed "Rip me!" 😊

Here's my masculine alternate card for "Hello Spring." Since my card last month was so plain I wanted to make one this month that had a bunch of elements on it but could still be given to a man. I like the colors. They're softer than traditional blue and brown and really work for spring.

I used a bunny stamp from a Paper Pumpkin kit from 5 years ago. The rest is from this kit. This fancy fold is perfect to use on any card that has a printed front and back. I almost always make this fold with Paper Pumpkin because I like it so much.

I created the background using a stamp from the set. I die cut the green paper to get the rectangles.

I really like how you can turn the chives in flowers. I also wanted to find a way to use the "For You" stamp that came with the kit.

This sentiment is so cute pairing it with plants. A perfect Mother's Day or Father's Day tag.

I used the scraps left over from heart die cut punch-outs as stencils and blended inks over them with a blending brush.

I used the scraps left over from heart die cut punch-outs as stencils and blended inks over them with a blending brush.

Here's my first alternate card for "Hearts for You." I used the heart from the add-on, "Spring is in the Air Dies." I stamped the sentiment in red ink then used clear embossing powder to make it stand out a little more. I also brushed Wink of Stella on the twine.

My masculine card alternate. I glued down the heart (which I cut from an envelope, careful that the lines went in the opposite direction) and I liked the look so much I decided to keep it simple. Really simple. I just added the tag with the sentiment and a couple dots. But I think it works well as a "card for him" because you know, we men are fairly simple. 😂

More ink blending fun. I used the punch out leftover from one of the heart strips and blended purple ink on the background and then red ink on a separate piece of card stock that I die cut into a heart. I accidentally got splotches of ink on the bottom of the card, so I added more ink and then added a strip of patterned paper to make it look like a border. 😀

I used the heart from the add-on, "Spring is in the Air Dies" for this card and the sentiment comes from one of Stampin' Up!'s ephemera packs, "Greetings For All."

I want to make more tags this year so here's my first. I did some more ink blending and used the Linked Together Dies by Stampin' Up! for the flowers.
