Let's get to the hop shall we?  I created this first card using our new Avery's Alphas stamps and dies.  I ran the dies through my machine first and then stamped the outline of the letters onto them in a pretty gray ink.  I love how I can create my own custom letters by stamping and die cutting onto striped patterned paper.  I can imagine them in polka dots, ombre patterns....I can't wait to try it!  After adding some fun washi tape and hearts from our Bow Simply Tags: Christmas Elle-ments dies I mounted the panel onto our Cherry Heavy Card Stock.  I love the way it turned out!

I created this next card using our Circle It Stamp Set.  To create this look, I stamped the large border once onto an A2 card panel using Delicata ink.  The border is slightly larger than an A2 size which allows you to stamp over the edges to give a finished look.  I rotated the panel 180 degrees and stamped the same border image again, slightly overlapping the first stamped image.  After that I just stamped the Celebrate sentiment.  I only stamped three times on this card.  It was SO easy and I LOVE the full yet random look of the dots.   I mounted the panel to our New Moon Card Stock and was finished.

Well you are off to hop to Chunyuan next.  I hope you enjoy all the inspiration the Design Team has for you.  It is amazing!
