The Stamp Market “Hi” - Using Small Die Cuts

I was inspired by my bestie over at By Grace Everett. She put a lot of little die cuts to work collage style with this “K” and I just loved it!! Naturally, I had to steal like a card artist and try it myself. I had to find a way to put a spin on it that would work with what I had in my stash.


I started by cutting the large “hi” from white. This die creates both letters and an outline.  Next, I dug through my stash of die cuts.  I have a tendency to use up scrap paper by cutting small die cuts for later use.  I pulled some small flowers and tiny hearts.  The tiny hearts filled gaps in my design, as well as created the effect of leaves.  I used scissors to trim anywhere the flowers hung off the letters.  

Using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles to cut a kraft panel, then added the letters.  The easiest way to work with the outline seems to be laying out the inner letter first and then using a bit of liquid glue to line up the outline around the letter.  I wanted to keep the design clean and simple.  I adhered the panel onto a white card base and completed the design by adding enamel dots from my stash to the flower centers.
