Hello! Welcome to my blog. I’ve been looking forward to using the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies, and they were perfect for today’s project.
Hand-Lettered Hello
Inspiration came from two challenges: Fab Friday, for showing off Stampin’ Up’s five, new, In Colors.
And, TGIF for using the Ribbon Ruffles technique.
Since the word “hello” has five letters, it was the one I chose to use with the new colors: Terracotta Tile, Rococo Rose, Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, and Pretty Peacock.
The gingham pattern in the 6X6 Designer Series Paper adds interest to the pretty letters, which I triple layered for thickness.
The letters are glued toThick Whisper White Cardstock, which has a scalloped edge, made with a Be Mine Die. Organza Ribbon (retired) was used with Glue Dots for the Ribbon Ruffles Technique. I’m always reaching for my Carpet Pin, and it helped in placing the Glue Dots.
The card base is Thick Whisper White, embossed with the Button Button Embossing Folder. Right before I took the pictures, I added the three Pearls.
I’m so glad Stampin’ Up gave us these Hand-Lettered Prose Dies. If you missed out on the Large Letters Dies, no worries. You can say so much more with these medium sized letters, and they’re available today at a great price. Just click on the picture in my Product List to go shopping at my store. Thank you!
P.S. For the sake of accuracy, I should tell you, I mistakenly, used the “y” for the “h”. But, it does give an extra pretty loop!

Absolutely love this! Charming and the layers and thoughtfulness of the patterned papers are perfect!
Thank you, Stephanie! I appreciate your nice comment!
Su I love your card!! You are such an artistic inspiration for so many of us!!
Thank you, Debbie! That’s such a nice thing to say!
Lovely card. What is the ruffled ribbon technique? Looks great!
Thank you, Dorothy! I used Glue Dots, placing them in a zig zag pattern as I gathered the ribbon. It took some experimentation.
This makes me think of a wedding cake with plaid letters. It is great the the letter just hit you ij the face. Awesome!
Thank you, Brent! So glad you like it!
Love the button EF with the gingham sentiment! Perfect! Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda! Embossing is still one of my favorite things to do!

Hah – o clever, Su! I have these dies, too – I’m totally going to do a take on this card, lol. Love that background, too! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Hi Heather,
I’m so glad you like it! Thank you! The dies can be a bit tricky to read, and I used the “y” instead of the “h.” LOL!
Super cute idea …. I have this die set and am very much inspired by your adorable card!
Thank you, Rita! It makes me happy to inspire you!
