These two Hello Cards were made by die cutting the Letters only once. I am loving the Pattern Play Bundle, although I was not very excited about the stamp set and contemplated just buying the dies. I am glad I bought the Bundle!

~Place your card inside your Stamparatus 1″ away from the Hinges. Put a magnet on the two sides opposite the hinges.
~Place your Border Stamp where you want it either below or above the Hello Layers. Place it so it is close to the Stamparatus Corner where the Hinges meet. (Look for a video on this soon.)

Finish Stamping your Card:
~Choose one of the small image stamps and an ink color ro finish stamping your card.
~I rotated The Dot and Firework stamps when I stamped them. They fit nicely next to each other and leave minimal gaps. I used a stamp block.
