3 Quater Designs Honey Fields Design Team Share

I’m so excited to share my February Design Team project for 3Quarter Designs, and this month we have two gorgeous collections – Honey Fields and Red Queen. For my first share I dove straight into Honey Fields, and oh my goodness, it is like wrapping yourself in a warm summer afternoon.

The moment I opened the papers I could almost feel sunshine on my shoulders. The collection is filled with glowing honey tones, soft blues and gentle creams, with the a scattering of bees buzzing through the designs. There are delicate florals, touches of vintage script and that beautiful golden hexagon pattern that instantly makes you think of lazy days, wildflowers and the hum of a summer garden with a honey sandwich. It is one of those collections that feels happy before you even cut into it.

For my layout I chose a close-up photo of Paige taken on a summer day at Southside in Brisbane. It was one of those bright, slightly chaotic days where her hair had a mind of its own – wild strands going everywhere – which suited her wild-at-heart personality perfectly. The sunshine caught her hair and turned it to pure gold, and the Honey Fields papers echoed that warmth so beautifully. I wanted the page to feel as carefree as she looked in that moment.

I built my design around the honeycomb elements from the collection and layered in the pretty blue and yellow florals to frame the photo. The little bees were impossible to resist, so a few of them found their way onto the page as well, adding a playful touch. I love how the colours in the range do all the hard work, making it easy to create something soft and feminine while still full of life.

I also filmed a video while putting this layout together, sharing how I chose the pieces and built up the layers. Just click on the link to the video so you can craft along with me and see how the page came to life from start to finish.

Being able to represent 3Quarter Designs is such a joy, especially when the collections are as inspiring as Honey Fields. I hope this layout brings a little sunshine to your day and maybe encourages you to pull out your own summer photos and let the bees buzz across your page too.

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing in my February project.

3 Quater Designs Honey Field Design Team Share

I’m back with my second February Design Team share for 3Quarter Designs using the Honey Fields Collection. I’m still completely smitten with the this collection. 

This range is one of those beautifully thought-out collections that you can return to again and again and still discover new possibilities. The quality of 3Quarter Designs products always impresses me – the papers are sturdy, the colours are rich and true, and the embellishments coordinate so effortlessly that creating feels more like a dream.

Honey Fields is filled with glowing yellows, warm honey tones, gentle creams and the most gorgeous blues. The sweet bees and delicate florals give it a light, whimsical feel, yet the vintage touches and textured patterns make it perfect for heritage photos as well. That flexibility is one of the things I love most about 3Quarter Designs collections – they suit everyday memories, special occasions and even older treasured photos without missing a beat.

For this layout I chose a photo of my parents taken at my wedding. It is one of those images that holds so much meaning, and I wanted to give it a soft, elegant home. I used the little frame images from the 12-inch off-cut strip in the pack and created a cluster of photo frames around the picture, almost like a collection of memories gathered together. Those strips are such a clever inclusion in the kits – they are packed with useful elements that are easy to overlook but can become the hero of a page.

I wanted the background to feel gentle and airy, so I did a little blending with Distress Oxide inks to create a wash of colour that matched the tones in the collection. This gave me a place to anchor all the pretty florals and frames without overwhelming the photo. The papers in Honey Fields layer so naturally that the design almost builds itself.

This time I was drawn to the deeper blue in the range and decided to pull that out as a feature colour. I added tiny gems in the same blue hue to give a little sparkle and to help those tones pop against the softer yellows and creams. The combination feels classic and elegant, perfect for a wedding memory while still keeping that warm, sunny Honey Fields vibe.

Working with 3Quarter Designs products is always such a pleasure. The attention to detail in the artwork, the way the colours blend across the whole collection and the generous mix of diecuts, off cut strips and fussy cutting elements make it easy to create pages that feel thoughtful and complete. Honey Fields has shown me once again how versatile a single collection can be – from carefree summer photos to heartfelt family moments.

I hope this layout inspires you to look at your own special photos and see how beautifully they can be celebrated with Honey Fields. If you would like to see how this layout came together then please click on the link and it will take you to my You-Tube Channel where you can view all the details.
