The Buzz

Hi there

I recently received a box full of gently used stamps and dies from a blogging friend.  I am having fun exploring the box.  Thank you so much Jean.

I have had a hexagon coverplate for ages, it might have been the first one I bought.  I've never done much with it, but discovering a bee themed stamp set in the box got me excited to play with it.



I die cut the hexagons and kept most of the pieces just in case.  Then I stamped and colored the hive and a few bees. They were die cut and I went about putting everything together.  Thankfully I saved those interior pieces. I had glued down the cover plate without them, and the design deperately needed help.  So I put some of the pieces in to act as a landing spot for the sentiment, hive and bees and bee trail.


Thanks for stopping by.
