Happy Thursday, crafty friends! The Greetery is having an additional mini release this month called Hey Honey, It's Summer, and today we are revealing all the new goodies! This release coordinates with all the previously released Hey Honeycomb products, which I've never created with before. Needless to say, I had a BLAST creating these two cuties, and be on the lookout...I have another card featuring the crab currently in the works!
Please note: the release will be available for purchase at 10am ET on Friday, May 28th.
I can't get over the cute belly when you pull over the honeycomb ball! I also finally had a reason to use the heart-shaped foam dots that I've been holding onto for several years.
For this card, I featured the stencils from the Making Waves design, ink blending the first stencil in Surfside ink, then heat embossing with Under the Sea embossing powder from Wow for the second one. I just love the added sparkle!
For my second card I featured the adorable fish. Once again, his fanned out belly is SO adorable! For this card, I featured the die and embossing folder from the Making Waves design. I diecut from aqua glitter cardstock first, then lined up the diecut piece into the 3D embossing folder and ran it through my Platinum 6. I trimmed the top part for this card, and am saving the bottom half for another card in the future!
Finally, this is just a look at both cards together with the honeycomb ball elements fanned open in place. I love the sweet direction included on the stamp sets for Hey Honeycomb, so that your recipient knows what to do to reveal all that cuteness!
Before I close up, I wanted to mention that my Crafty Sale and Events/Classes pages are updated, and I'm also currently work on my FAVORITES page! Thank you so much for your support!

Bonnie B Dongon - These colors are incredible! The aqua glitter embossing powder is stunning, and to me it's amazing to see you use that color in both embossing powder and cardstock. They make the waves look incredible. I don't have aqua (yet...) but I'm inspired to try other glitter options (white perhaps?). Thank you for sharing! And yes - the heart foam squares are the perfect touch for this concept.
