Christmas Hexagon or Honeycomb Pop-up Card

 I’ve seen this card style a lot lately, Susan Stampfield, Creative Gems and Bronwyn Easterly have versions. I made all three, this one is from Bronwyn actually I bought this paper and cutouts to specifically make this card from her sample for Paper Rose - called Christmas Tree Farm. I have to get the hang of cut outs. I mean, I can fussy cut. It just takes forever. I try to use my brother scan and cut machine to do it and it’s not cooperating. It wants to cut out the outline I make around it and cut out little bits and pieces out of the middle, destroying the image. I asked for help on Jennifer Brodie’s Facebook page and there were some answers, but they are just so time consuming. I have to go back-and-forth between the computer and the machine a couple times which is annoying. It’s quicker even though I’m slow to cut them out by hand which defeats the purpose of buying the scan and cut! The Thanksgiving cards I sent out were so thick that one of them even cost $7.50 to mail so my Christmas cards that I’m going to mail are going to be as thin as I can without being completely plain. Some of the ones that I make that’ll be thick I’ll either hand give them away or I will just keep them because I love making the ones that turn out thick but I can’t see spending $7.50 to mail each card!
