I made this for my husband. He will be going on a fun trip soon and I like to send him a card or tuck it in his luggage.
For more details check out today's blog post: http://www.dailystampede.com/stampin...-for-two-dsp/#
Edited to add: I cut out the hexagons by running bits of dsp through the honeycomb EF. I wanted all the different patterns found in that one sheet of dsp. I cut small groupings of patterns out and then ran them through the EF and cut out. HTH :-)

I would also LOVE to see an SU hexagon punch (or maybe a framelit that would cut out a whole bunch at once?) but in the meantime I have found that running two pieces of DSP (or one piece plus a shim) will weaken the fibers of the decorative paper enough that you can gently push the desired hexagon shape out of the paper. It will need a snip here and there to neaten up the edges but at least you have the basic shape and don't have to try cutting out a hexagon without a line to follow. It worked well enough for me that I used it for Leadership swaps and that would not have happened if it had been really difficult or time consuming!
