Hello with Hearts

My Big Shot BROKE....😩😞😔😖...creating has temporarily come to a halt!!  You say...it's just a die cutter...well, for me, it's like being a Baker without an oven!! Yes, I DO stamp😆, but even accenting stamping or die cutting stamped images...it is scary how much I depend on this machine!!!   I ordered a machine from Walmart(2 day free delivery...)...only thing was, when I picked it up and took it home, I found I had ordered a Big Shot without a PLATFORM!!  This will be my third machine...who knew a Big Shot would come WITHOUT a PLATFORM?????!!!!!  NOT ME!!  It DID come with a thick Sizzix die......REALLY???...THAT didn't help me as I had thrown away all the worn pieces of my old one when I knew I was getting a new machine.  Yes, I now know to THOROUGHLY READ the description of whatever I am purchasing!!!  So, I'm waiting for a two day Amazon delivery for a machine WITH a platform...until then, I have a card to share with you that I made over a week ago, that I hadn't put on my blog yet...all dies...need I say more???...
I used a Memory Box die, Triple Stitched Heart die(I think it is retired, but I just got it), and the Mama Elephant Hello Script die.  I layered the "hello" and glossy accented it.  The Memory Box heart die has three hearts, 
I extetended the die to make five hearts, extending it across the card.  I did this by die cutting the three hearts in the middle of the panel, and then placing the die over the end two (doing this for each side) and die cutting once more to get an extra heart on each side.  I made another 5 heart strip and layered underneath the top panel, and then adhered colored die cut hearts that I had cut from the die.  Here's a close up...
Fun...Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

CAS(E) this Sketch!...Hello

The sketch this week at CAS(E) this Sketch is a fun one!!  I decided to use my beloved rainbow to make a card for the challenge.  Here's my card and the sketch...

 I used assorted patterned paper, a die from the My Favorite Things Dienamics Blueprints #2, and the Mama Elephant "Hello" die.  The strip die was die cut shorter than the original, by die cutting from both sides.  I layered each of the strips as well as the sentiment, and added one enamel dot for each colored strip.  Here's a close up...
Ok...this was SO MUCH FUN!!  Thanks for the great sketch, Hannelie, and thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
EDITED
Thanks so much ladies...my card was voted a Favorite this week:)!!...
You made my week!!
