Hey everyone and happy Friday! Wanda is here with a super fun project using some of the Hey Honeycomb products from our last release. Perfect timing for some inspiration, as we just restocked the Honeycomb Balls! Before we get to that, I just wanted to give you a little heads up that we’re busy getting everything ready for our next new product release!
Next week we’ll be showcasing lots of new products coming to the shop as part of our Garden Party collection. There are lots of fun summer items, but also some great basics, and things for year-round occasions. This collection is filled with all of the pretty things you might find at a summer garden party. We can’t wait to show you everything! We’ll kick off the week with some sneak peeks starting on Monday.
Now let’s hear from Wanda and the cute project she has for you today…
Hi there my creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here on The Greetery Blog today to share a project with you! I am always so excited and happy to share with you. Happy Summer! For my project for today I created some festive and fun gift tags using lots of my favorite Greetery supplies! I am obsessed with honeycombs now, thanks to Betsy! I have some special birthdays coming up and I always love to make something handmade….
I created two gift tags – one is a gift box decoration and the other one I haven’t decided yet – maybe a tie on to a bottle of champagne, or as a gift bag tie on!
I started by die cutting two of the big tags using the Tag Team Duo dies – they are the perfect size tag! I used the Tag Team Duo matching stencils to stencil pink polka dots on one tag and mint green stripes on the other tag. For stenciling I used Distress Inks and blender brushes. The perfect party backgrounds!
Next I die cut all the pieces to make a Hey Honeycomb Balloon and a Hey Honeycomb Ice Cream Cone. I used cardstock shades to match those cute Party Honeycomb Balls. I added bits of ink shading and also Stickles Diamond glitter glue. I affixed the honeycomb balls to the die cut pieces using liquid glue.
For the accents I splattered on some white paint and created gold streamers for both tags. I added a pretty ribbon from my stash and little scattered gems and pearls. For the sentiments I used the Tear Strip Banners Dies along with the Tear Strip Tags Birthday stamps. These were perfect across the bottom of my tags.
For the gift, I wrapped it in Kraft wrapping paper first. I added a star border using the Star Strip Die and made it from matching cardstock to the balloon. Just a little extra touch.
This is such a fun way to embellish a gift! These tags would also be nice for a graduation party gift, or any other celebration!
That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
