Card #1: Honey Comb Hello Greeting Card
Our first card is a delightful blend of honeycomb patterns and ink-blending techniques. It's the ultimate warm and sweet way to say hello.
1. Blend the Colors
Begin by blending the colors along the edges of two sides using an ink-blending tool. This technique will add dimension and artistic flair to your card.
2. Stamp Patterns
Step 1: Stamp the honeycomb pattern onto a yellow cardstock and cut it out.
Step 2: Use the heart pattern from our Fleur and Heart stamp set to add a charming touch to both sides.
Step 3: Finally, stamp on "Hello".
3. Assemble Card
Attach your honeycomb onto the card using 3-D styrofoam dots. This simple step will elevate the pattern, making it appear 3-D. For extra sparkle, add some gem embellishments.

Guarantee smiles with our second card. This beautiful ombre half-circle design will remind you of a warm and playful sunrise.
1. Create Background Pattern
Start by applying ink in an ombre gradient onto the half-circle pattern from our Polka Dots and Half Circle stamp set. Firmly press the stamp onto your card.

Blend your ink colors along the edges of the cutouts from our Free Cricut File- Happy Hello. Complete the look by stamping "Hello" onto the cutout.
