At Winter CHA, Inky Antics Rubber Stamps introduced a new product to the market . . . The HoneyPOP Collection. This is such a different and fun collection that even us die hard vintagy/grungies love it! Jackie Lewis, the founder and Creative Director for Inky Antics, has a fabulous video tutorial, as well as a written one, on how to use these stamps in conjunction with the Honeycomb Pads. You can find them both here on their eclectic Paperie home page. Did I watch the video before I made my card . . . NO! So needless to say I left out a few steps.
As an added surprise in today’s hop, Jackie thought it would be nice if all the designers gave away a set of HoneyPOPS and coordinating Honeycomb Pad! She was very generous and gave each of us an additional collection that we will get to give away to one of our lucky readers. eclectic Paperie will also be giving away a $25 Gift Voucher on the eP Blog.
Here’s how you can win your own HoneyPOPS! Simply leave me a comment telling me what you think of the HoneyPOP Collection and/or any of the projects you have seen on the hop. You have today and tomorrow to leave comments and the winners will be announced on Friday!
Don’t forget to leave comments for my fellow E-Team members. Remember they are all giving away a HoneyPOP set too!

Now for my project! I must first tell you, that even though these stamps are probably better suited to children, I found a way to work around that. I made my card for any of my gray, wrinkled friends or maybe even some of my mother’s friends. It’s just a little twisted campy humor!
I colored the images with Copic Markers (W-1, 3 & 5; BG0000; BG10) and used some old BasicGrey Marrakech Designer Paper. Marrakech is one of those papers that I had a hard time using (so I have tons of it) but when I think of elephants my mind automatically recalls the Marrakech paper.   Because I was coloring with Copic Markers, the images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black so the image wouldn’t smear. The sentiment was stamped in Ranger Archival Jet Black because I prefer the crispness of the ink, and then die cut/embossed with Spellbinders Grommet Tags.
Because I just can’t make a one-layer card (it would be stepping too far out of the box), I stamped the elephant on white cardstock cut to size for the card. Because I decided on a top fold card, my balloon looks a little funky because of the Honeycomb lines.
Well, I think that’s it for me today! Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to leave some comments for my fellow E-Team members!

I love this card Sherry,
It does bring out the twisted humor in us all!!!!!

Love your card! Perfect for my age group but these pop cards would be so fun for kids.
Didn’t know such a thing existed (honeycomb) for card making. Darling card. (Also fits my age group – sigh!)
Sherry, I LOVE this card!!! Perfect sentiment with the elephant!!! The POP part is really a fun way to make a card special.
Is there anything in papercrafting you can’t do well? This card is adorable. I didn’t know you were so skilled with Copics, too! Very fun & creative card.
When I saw this card I laughed out loud. I love it. Perfect for an old gray wrinkled thing like me!!!
By the way, I once had an elephant that escaped from the circus in my back yard!!!
This card looks like it could be adapted easily for other occasions…
Sherry….this is sooooo cute! Love the honeycomb balloon…haven’t tried the Honeypop Collection yet but will be looking for the Inky Antics booth at Stampaway this year! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs from Indiana,
Pam:)

Wow, how did you get the layers to line up on the inside of the card. I must have tried (and ruined) 4+ cards :-). Love your card and you’re right, that paper goes perfectly with the Elephant. Love how you die cut his head. And as always your card is whimsical, cute and yet so classically beautiful. 🙂
This is adorable! Love the image and I am really loving the Honeycomb pop ups!
This is very cute.. has an India feel to it…. very nice.

Cute and so fun. I’m still hiding my gray, but the wrinkles are another story.
I didn’t view the video either but they are so easy-really fun for everyone but I like how much little ones enjoy these.
This card is so cute, love how you turned the card the opposite direction. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card and just love how you did the balloon. I just love seeing all the different ways of using this fun paper. I made all the kiddies Easter cards with the carrot. They should love love love the surprise when they open it.
I love this collection and your card is the best. I tell you I am going broke with all the new and fun sets that are coming out. This collection will soon be joining me.

This card is so much fun, love the elephant and the honeycomb paper. Now I’m itching to get some honeycomb paper and some copic pens too.
So stinkin’ adorable!!! I love that elephant and I’ve really liked how the inside of the card gets finished with these sweet honeypops!
Love the sentiment!! That’s awesome!
This is something totally new to stamping and I love the elephant image and sentiment you used on your card. I could use that a lot as I am of a “certain” age!!! Thanks Sherry. Hope you are well……

Very cute card and I am sure people that are a little older like us would love a funny card like this one
Your card is adorable! Your humor fun! Great work!
I really like how you used the elephant image–just perfect! That honeycomb paper just shouts out to be touched and played with. I’m saving up some shekels even as I type. Thanks a bunch. WRE
Love the way you used the elephants. These Honey Pop cards are so creative.
that elephant set is going to be a must have.. for me .. i had to laugh when i saw that .. and i really love it… kinda reminds me of myself. haha
great job..
Your card just makes me smile – how cute!!!!!
Sherry, I checked out the video and saw all the stamp and color options — I’m thinking this is a great new product! I love your campy idea with the elephant and I love the Marakesh paper with it! Your card is as great as ever — thanks for the heads up on the honeycomb directions too — I would not have thought of that even AFTER viewing the video!
I think your card is darling! Thanks for sharing.
Very cute card and banner ideas along the hop! Very fun projects!

from one grayed wrinkled thing to another, you done good, or bad, depending on how you look at it! these are just the cutest stamp/embellishment combinations!
I just finished watching the HoneyPop video and think that the honeycomb paper is perfect for kid cards. I really like the elephant card you made and know your mom and her friends will like it too. By the way, where did you buy the sentiment stamp? I have a couple of “old” stamps that would work perfectly with that sentiment.
Cute card love the elephant image and the pop up balloon.
Marilyn
The elephant is adorable! Perfect use for the Marrakech Designer Paper! (Glad I am not the only one who “saves” paper! lol) Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
I really like the cute animals and their innocent expressions!!! The Honeycomb paper really does add POP to these cards!!! I want them ALL!!! 🙂

Oh, this card is just a hoot! Love the idea…I have several “wrinkled gray” friends who can use the same laugh I got when I saw it. Very creative and fun!
I LOVE this card Sherry, such a fun, cute card but all grown up with that brilliant sentiment.
I make cards to raise money for the pensioners craft and card making class I started at my work. This would be a great sentiment for them. I know they’d love this. I’ll have to see if I can get these stamps here in UK.
That is really cute!! I just love it!! 🙂
Very funny card–thanks for showing they are for more than children’s cards. Love the HoneyPOP concept–everyone likes a surprise inside.
Love the card, love the colours and love the sentiment you have used.
How a cute elephant! Great card 🙂
I love the text on your card! That elephant is the cutest thing ever!
I think this card is adorable. Thanks for sharing.
very cute – love your paper choice!

Wow, is that different! Since I am one of the gray but not yet wrinkled ones, I got a good chuckle from your card. I can’t make one layer cards either, they just seem unfinished.
Your sentiment is the best thing I’ve read today! I love your elephant and the Marrakech paper is WONDERFUL with this design!
Totally adorable and with that special Sherry twist! Love it!
Darling! Just love the patterned paper you chose and the colors you used. Makes the gray and wrinkled bashing much more palatable! And your pop-up balloon is fantastic. Thanks for sharing and showing us how a cute kiddie image is perfect for oldsters, too.
I’ve now seen a few cards made with HoneyPOP – I’m going to have to try it – wonder how it takes to Distress Inks to ‘vintage’ it up a bit?
Your elephant’s a cutie …!
Such a cute card. Love the little elephant. And the honey pop balloon is a plus to the card. Can’t wait to order some. Edna B.
I absolutely love the sentiment, your color choices, and that honey pop can be used to create cards for young and not as young!
Love your card! What a great way to use a kiddy stamp set, in another way. Love the honeycomb balloon too!
Cute card and love the sentiment. Your honeypop balloon is a fun touch on the inside of the card.
I love how you created a “grown-up” card! Shows how versatile they are!

I didn’t know that HoneyPops existed, prior to checking out your blog today. I must be under a rock! What a fantastic idea!
I think your card is awesome! Thanks for the chance.
Cute , cute, too cute. I find my self using the word “cute” to discribe everyones card. The pop ups definitely add a cute factor. Hugs.
I am a vintage girl, but I love these cute stamps and the fun honeycomb pop-ups! Your card is wonderful, as always, and so appropriate for adults. We are, after all, children at heart. Thank you for sharing your talent and for the chance to win.
I totally agree with Miriam, we are all kids at heart….I’m really loving the honeycomb pop-ups.
Oh Sherry, Hysterical Sentiment, just love it. You have also used the adorable Elephant and I love how you’ve placed his big red balloon. These Stamps are just so Versatile and go so well with the Honeycomb Paper. LOVE IT.
Kind Regards,
Beverley L……….
Your elephant card is precious. Love the saying.
i love how you twisted cute stamps to fit you! gotta admit cute really isn’t the way i usually go either but you made it work.
Oh my gosh these are ADORABLE! I love them all but the cupcake is the BEST!
I think you did an awesome job on the honey pop elephant. And I think I kinda like how the balloon did on the inside. Gives interest. Great card!
So adorable. Love this honeycomb paper. I’m going to be shopping at EP this weekend ! 🙂
Hey Sherry ~ This *honeycomb* technique is Sweet =) Have never seen it before so you know what I’ll be doing later. And your wrinkly, twisted & campy humour is always appreciated at this end of the world ♥ ♥
Your elephants is fantastic…. and the sentiment almost had me spitting my drink everywhere! That’s a perfect sentiment!
