A couple of days ago i saw this card from Crafty Maria's Stamping World on Pinterest.
The honeycomb on hers was done with a die, which I do not own, from Stampin' Up . I came up with several uses for a honeycomb background in my mind. When I'm ready to do a card, I don't want to wait 10-12 days on something I need to be ordered and delivered. So, I spent about 2 1/2 hours playing around in Make The Cut.
My objective was to have a frame that measured 4" x 5 1/4 with a honeycomb design inside. I managed to get one done after multiple attempts of joining, welding, using the eraser tool, knife tool and a Boolean join (I still have no idea what that even accomplishes!).
When I cut my shape out, the honeycomb openings were much smaller than what I wanted so I sent my file to Okieladybug and asked her if she could figure out how to duplicate it with larger openings. She spent about 5 minutes and had it all figured out and sent me the file back!
The flowers are from the Petite Petals stamp/punch bundle. The sentiment is an old Stampin' Up stamp, punched with a scalloped oval punch.
This one is more like the original file I designed. Okieladybug cleaned up the outside edges on this one too.
I have a couple more cards in my mind using this honeycomb!
