Cute as a Bug Punched Hexagon Card

Patty Bennett does it again! She showed how to create 4 card layers at once, using our Hexagon Punch and a sheet of cardstock! (Check out her video!) She uses several different, interesting DSP's to create these backgrounds. I was playing with the Cute As a Bug, so I jumped on to these samples! She also uses our new Easter Joy DSP and the new Spring Puffy Stickers for a different twist! The "tag" is my own touch. In this case, it needed something, and, of course, I wanted to use those cute Ladybugs!

Measurements:

Poppy Parade: 1/2 sheet
Cute As a Bug(N): 2 1/2" strips of DSP in various patterns, die cut
Mossy Meadow: scrap
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", scrap

To Make This Card:

For my sample, I just made enough for one card. If you watch Patty's video, she filled a full sheet and made 4 card fronts.
To do that, I punched 9 "Hexagons" from the DSP, including focusing on a couple of the images/vignettes. Be sure to look/use both sides of the DSP! (For the full sheet, you'll need more like 25!).
Lightly score one of the White layers in half both directions. (You'll use this to line up the punched pieces)
I started with the center hexagon and glued (yes, glued) into place. Then, work from the center, out. Adding pieces. Then trim edges. I used those pieces are another punched piece for the 4 tiny corner pieces. And you're done with the background piece.
Adhere to folded card base, of your choosing.
Stamp sentiment onto scrap of White.
Punch with Labeled with Love Punch, and adhere to another Punched piece from Mossy Meadow, split in half lengthwise for a nice layer.
Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish front with Old Olive LinenThread Bow and a Ladybug.
Finish the inside with White layer and die cut bug of your choice.
