Big Hello!





I love this big Hello die from Simon Says Stamp and was so excited to take it for a test drive this weekend.

This is really a very easy card to put together.  I just die cut the speech bubble (also a Simon die cut), then die cut the hello both from colored cardstock as well as out of the speech bubble, and put it all back together as an inlaid die cut.




I wanted to pair it with that mint/white striped paper, but it seemed like it was getting a little lost, so I cut another speech bubble in black, adhered that to the patterned paper, and popped up the hello bubble slightly offset.

I'm going to link this up over at Simon Says Stamp since it's Anything Goes week.

Thanks for stopping by!
