The Twofer Card Challenge this month is Wreath, using the same stamp, stencil, or die for the prompt on two different designs for two different occasions . I've chosen to use the Poppystamps 'Stitch Wreath' die on both my cards.
I am joining in the Twofer Card Challenge with this pair of cards.
The wreath was die cut in white card and backed with green glitter card. A red glitter MFT 'Stitched Circle Scalloped Frame' was attached over the top. I used a Stampin' Up Owl Punch with a little creative cutting to turn him into a penguin. The red glitter card was too thick for my small circle punch, so I used the Memory Box 'Parker Lower Alphabet' die with a snippet of the red glitter card. The centres of the p, q and o were the perfect size. 😊 Three punched green glitter circles and a peeloff sentiment finished off my card. (For anyone in the UK, Hobbycraft are currently selling the non-shed glitter card for half price.)
I am joining in the following challenges with this card.
My second card is a Spring Fold card, one of my favourite folds, using the same wreath die. I used a Memory Box 'Stitched Square' die, which was a perfect size to cut around the wreath. The punched border is a Martha Stewart border punch. I punched flowers in white and matt silver with a Woodware punch and added a grey pearl to the centres.
This is a side view of my card.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card.

Two great cards. I love the wreaths you made and that sweet penguin. Your spring fold card is lovely and I do like that fold technique.
ReplyDeleteClever use of the die for these two cards and very resourceful way of getting the red berries when the punch wouldn't work with your glitter card!!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards here Liz, it's amazing how different the die looks on each design!

I love how you got creative not only with your owl-turned-penguin, but also with your berries! Such a fun Christmas card! That penguin's eyes look like he's saying, "come on, look inside!". What a gorgeous spring fold card. That wreath looks like it was made for it! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome Twofers. I love how you transformed the owl into a penguin. That is genius on your part.
ReplyDeleteLiz, How pretty! I love the simplicity of your design... and that fun fold of your second card. So glad you played along with this month's Twofer Wreath Challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteThat little penguin (cunningly disguised!) is adorable inside your shimmery Christmas wreath, Liz ... love how you were creative with your dies to get him and to get the berries between the leaves! What a fresh, crisp and oh so pretty lavender wreath ... gorgeous against the white ... it's showcased beautifully with the fabulous spring fold! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
