In my card for the hop, I stamped the typewriter from the upcoming Just a Note stamp set on the bottom center of my cardstock panel. I thought a thick piece of patterned washi would be a new twist on the paper coming out of the top. (Note to self, find more thick washi for variations on this one!)  For my sentiment, I used a die from the upcoming Hello dies. This is a must have! Love the playful curve it has, which you can exaggerate a little bit due to the font used. Simple but fun and striking. 
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a lovely holiday!
