Honey Bee Stamps Fall Y'All Blog Hop

** For SugarPea Designs Blog Hop please scroll down. **



Hi peeps! The Honey Bee Stamps Fall Release has been happening all week and the fantastic fall products are now available in the shop

To celebrate the new release, we are having the Happy Fall Y'all Blog Hop. So grab your cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte, or whatever cozy drink you love and hop along with us to get you in the fall frame of mind!

For the hop, I played with the sweet & adorable Forest Friends set.




To make this card, I started by inking one of one of the stencil from Honey Bee Hexagon Layering Background Stencil. On purpose I didn't ink it evenly as I want to have the random look that kind of fade out. 




Once that done, I stamped, die-cut and color the critters. Before adhering it to the card base, I luckily remember to stamp the sentiment first. Hah... it had happened where I adhere the image first and then found out I didn't have enough space for the sentiment. 




I hope you enjoy the hop. Below is the complete list of the participants. Be sure to visit each blog & leave a comment, you don't want to miss out on any of the fun prizes!!! We will be giving away TWO $50 gift cards to the Honey Bee Stamps store.

Winners will be posted on our blog Monday, September 25th. 

Thank you so much for stopping by here & may your Friday be a blessed one.
