Cheers & Sips - Meant to Bee

I'm not done playing with the Cheers & Sips bundle - it's so much fun to find new ways to celebrate with this set!

And bring in the Meant to Bee dies - hexagon shapes that cut not only the hexagon but also a border around each one. And there are multiple dies in the set, so you can create lots of layers!

I started with a piece of the new Secret Sea cardstock - a beautiful new In Color (available May 6th) that is a rich deep, smoky blue. I cut it to 4-1/4" x 11, and then lopped off 2" from one end; it's still scored at 5-1/2", creating a slightly shorter front piece.

Then I started layering the hexagons - Granny Apple Green on the bottom, followed by the white border piece (you'll see the white hexagon inside) around one of Crushed Curry. And I topped it off with a little hexagon of now-retired designer series paper in Granny Apple Green.

The hexagons gave me an unusual front flap, and I decorated it with two drink glasses cut with the Cheers & Sips dies. I colored the "drinks" with Stampin' Blends, and added a sprig of something (basil?) to one. They were cut with the coordinating dies and adhered with Dimensionals.

And inside:

Now I used the borders from the Crushed Curry and Granny Apple Green hexagons on the front, along with the Basic White one. I love the layered effect!
