*Build Your Stash Instagram Hop*

 This month, we are creating cards of gratitude for the Build Your Stash Instagram Hop.  The goal of this hop is to encourage the participants to make some basic cards that we might need throughout the year so that they are ready to be mailed when we need them.  I aim to make two cards following each theme.  Some months I fail.  This month I didn't!

In my effort to make more clean and simple cards (as they truly are where my heart is at), I did two simple cards to share today.

For this first card, I used some printed Washi and the matching die to cut out this gorgeous spring of leaves and added a simple stamped and die cut sentiment.

For my second card, I kept it simply black and white, breaking up the boredom with a simple embossing folder
