Next I wanted to feature a bit of negative die-cutting with the word die, a bit like the look of veneer journaling cards:
Paper: Crate Paper
Chipboard: Crate Paper
Dies: Avery Elle, WPlus9
Other: 3D foam
I love the look of the negative die-cut word against a darker background, and the gold accents on the chipboard are just lovely.

Next up a card featuring another of the Simply Said Avery Elle dies:
Paper: Crate Paper
Chipboard: Crate Paper
Enamel dots: Simple Stories, MME
Dies: Avery Elle, Lil' Inker Designs, Lawn Fawn, Paper Smooches
Other: 3D foam, pink vellum
The greeting wasn't standing out very well against the black and white background so I cut a strip of pink vellum and used the stitch dies by Paper Smooches to add a row of stitching to the top and bottom. The vellum is adhered with glue hidden behind the chipboard and enamel dots.

I used the hello die for a little notelet too. Couldn't resist the bold paper on a smaller card:
Paper: Crate Paper
Dies: Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn
Other: 3D foam
I really like the aperture created with a speech bubble and the matching sentiment is stuck to the inside. :)

This one is a personal favourite - as soon as I saw the Love Life paper and all the colour swatches in it.... an ombre effect:
Paper: Crate Paper
Die: Lil' Inker Designs
Stamp: WPlus9
Enamel dots: MME
Very simple, but I just love the look of the different shades together, and the little hearts were all scored before gluing them down so they lift off the card a bit.

Another card using my favourite floral print paper in the line:
Paper: Crate Paper, AC glitter paper
Chipboard: Crate Paper
Stamp: Wplus9
Dies: Lil' Inker Designs, Lawn Fawn
Other: 3D foam
The frame is simply created with two of the rectangle stitched dies nested. Very handy! And I was still on my little folded heart kick so added a teeny one here for good measure.
