Stamp the brown cocoa design onto a scrap of white cardstock and cut out using the Bitty Ball decorator hexagon die from either the Bitty Ball Double-Ups or the Bitty Ball Pop-Up. Cut out two white and one red hexagon frames using the Bitty Ball and Mini Ball decorator hexagon dies. (Mini Ball Double-Ups or the Mini Ball Pop-Up sets both have this die.)
