Welcome back bloggers! This next post is dedicated to the new Hexagon Background die. Shown here created with decorative papers, it is just so sweet I think! Yes, I paper pieced it, but it was really easy and very fun to do too! I love that it is very gender neutral so you can use it in so many ways! And if you like making square cards (as I do!), this is a great set for you as it is very versatile. I also wanted to mention that I have added the Pinterest button at the bottom of every post so feel free to pin any cards or dies that you may want to keep for later inspiration. The last post of the day will be online at 6pm today. Looking forward to seeing you back here then! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Oh dear Lord did you paper piece all those tiny hexagons. If you did hats off to you, you must have the patience of a Saint. If you didn’t then please let this card have it’s day on the blog so you can share your secret x
Love this background and would be able to use this so much x

What a lot of paper piecing! Looks so lovely that it was well worth the time and effort. X
Hi Sue
What a great die. So useful for so many different backgrounds and gender neutral too. Well done for paper piercing it all. I think I’d enjoy doing that too. Great card, love the decorative papers you’ve used and I have those finishing touches dies for the flowers and leaves….which reminds me I haven’t used them for ages so I will have to remedy that.
Cant wait to see more samples using this background die. I’m sure you have done lots already. I appreciate the fineness of the lines of the hexagons too, it makes it look really classy.

Beautiful post again, but I love the die and I think its my favourite so far. Again useful with any 'bee' dies but as a general background die its a must...
Hello Sue
What a brilliant idea for a background I can't wait to see what is next at 6pm
Love this look! you can always use up different coloured scraps of paper to paper piece back in. I also think it will create a great background behind some of the other 'frame' type dies. WakeyL
Oh this is a fun die set, I’d love paper piecing patterns with this!

Awesome hex background design! Lots of possibilities!

What a beautiful background die. Would be interesting to know how long the paper piecing took, but I find it very calming & therapeutic so I presume you do too. I thought honeycomb as soon as I saw it so would be lovely with a bee stamp or die. Thank you
Sue.
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, WOW, what a stunning die, the hexagons within are amazing, can think of loads of paper piercing for this one, it is one of my most favourite things to do.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
Another brilliant card and colours and the Hexagon dies are so versatile for all genders paper piercing very time consuming.

Hi Sue, a lovely card and you really have extreme patience to do that amount of paper piecing but it was so worth it to create this great background. I see that many of us have immediately thought of bees and honeycomb but I think there is so much more to it. Look forward to seeing other samples.
