When it comes to a WOW product, I can’t think of a better bang-for-your-buck than the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF – you don’t think I’m typing all that every time now, do you??). For just $7.95 – well, plus the cost of a Big Shot, but you needed that anyway – you can take any project from Ho, Hum to Whoo Hoo! in a matter of moments! The Honeycomb TIEF from the Spring catalog is one of my current favorites, and the Very Good News is that we will see it in the 2013-2014 catalog as well.
Now I’ll bet you’ve seen people do this Honeycomb mosaic thing and thought “WHAT A PAIN!! I could never cut out all those.”
There is a trick, my dears.
Run your DSP through the Honeycomb TIEF. Then take your paper snips and go zigety zagety down the line of combs, in that little trough. You’ll end up with a row of hexagons with very little effort. Now snip off what you need and whoop-dee-doo you are done! What’s more, those hexagons just scoot right into their spots on the honeycomb panel. No fuss, no muss.

You could do this with any DSP you have – even scraps – and you could do it for Moms and Dads, Brides and Grads and Birthdays and Babies and – well, anything!
Go on, go and make a card.
