I snuck away to my craft room for a few hours to play this morning. I say snuck since I ignored laundry instead of hopping up to deal with it every 30 minutes or so.
You may have noticed that I stepped away from designing for Twofer Card Challenge, but I remain as Social Media poster. I like that I can keep a hand in, but relax my schedule of cardmaking.
I have two cards today, they'll be visiting Twofer Card Challenge, CAS on Friday, NBUS and Color Hues.
As usual when I contemplate Twofer I pick my stamp, die or stencil first. A new die that needed to make it out of its packaging was my choice of die for the cards. The die is Flower Swag from SSS.
Next, I have to make a set of sketches - if not I often make a VERY similar card...maybe changing up just the colors and the sentiment but not much the actual design of the card.
Thanks so much for visiting.
Both are gorgeous and nicely showcase the die set!

I am in love with these two cards. Both designs are terrific and very clever. The pink is an uplifting card sure to make someone feel better after opening this. The blue card is so pretty and I love the way you used the die.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers twofer is a great inspiration for our players. I like the simplicity and elegance of both of the cards. Fantastic work! The die cut of the flower is very nice.

I'm really out of the loop, and definitely not in the know because of it, Cat... you will be welcomed back anytime, I'm sure - especially with pretty cards like this duo!

Both are gorgeous, Cat! I have a similar die but not the edge, nor the outline portion -- this is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties with that curved flower sprig, Cat! Especially love the inlaid one but the open one is gorgeous too!!
ReplyDeleteI think these cards are very special and I just love that die. I cannot choose between them xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of the die in both cards! I love the versatility of the die in the bright multi-colored card and the elegance of it in the second. Thanks for much for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty Cat! May I ask who makes that die cut? I don't think my pile of unused stuff is quite high enough yet! LOL They are both so pretty but the pink card just is so eye-catching! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues and I hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are delicate and so very pretty and the die cut chain of flowers is fabulous x.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, pretty die and two lovely cards! I like how you make your sketches and I can see how it's good to get them on paper for a visual of how different they are. Love the colors on both of these!
ReplyDeleteOh how unique each card is. Love this versatile Flower Swag die!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Cat!
