Enjoy the Little Things

The little things…that’s what’s really important…the little things we take for granted.  I used lot’s of little things on this card and a number of them will be gone for good on May 31st.

Enjoy the Little Things

I started off with Hello Honey for the card base (this is an In Color that is retiring this year).  I wanted to stick with shades of yellow, black and white, so I used two different packages of retiring Washi Tape (2014-2016 In Color Washi Tape and Cherry on Top Washi Tape)  The beautiful flower is stamped in So Saffron using the Definitely Dahlia stamp.  The sentiment comes from the Enjoy the Little Things stamp set which is also retiring.  I finished things off by rounding all corners with the Corner Punch and adding a few Neutral Candy Dots (also retiring).

Make it Monday: Hello You Thinlits

Take a close look.  You’re looking at a card on a stamping blog that has NO stamping on it!  GASP!!  I know but isn’t this card stunning?

Botanical Builders Thinlits, Hello You Thinlits

I’ve shared quite a few projects using the Botanical Builders Thinlits Dies and this card is indeed quite impressive with the bright colors of Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay.  But today I want you to pay attention to the “Hello” which has been die cut with the Hello You Thinlits out of the Gold Foil Paper.  The playful font is perfect on this card and really makes a statement when layered on a piece of Whisper White card stock which has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  Also note how the gold accents are carried throughout in this card with the sentiment, the Gold Fancy Foil Designer Series Vellum and the centers of the flowers.
