"Dropping In To Say HELLO"

Happy Tuesday to my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
I'm just dropping in to say "hello" today with a very simple made card.  I've only used cardstock, a cut out from Cricut design space and a clothespin.
First, I have been playing around with my Cricut Explore, the Design Space and using different fonts.
I love the way Tim Holtz created dies using words with parts of the letters cut out.  I was trying not to buy the die because I would be limited to what I could put on a card.  By experimenting I found out I could do what he did with the Cricut Explore.

Note **this is the TH die I'm referring to.

To achieve a similar look, I used  the Cricut Explore and the Design Space (I could get to my fonts quicker than  using the Cricut Expression and the font from a desired cartridge).  I achieve the desired result with the word "hello" ...Give it a try.

 Second, I basically used paper from a paper pad and a Tattered Lace border die. The "hello" tag could easily be placed behind the image by adhering only three sides.  I love the foil look of some of the pages from this pad.

 This will be entered in the challenge over at http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
