Twofer Card Challenge

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.

  3. Clever 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!!

  11. Two very pretty wreath designs, Liz! I am over the moon with how you turned an owl into a penguin! I never would have guessed that! He makes a lovely centerpiece with your glitter-backd simple wreath and scalloped circle frame! Clever way to make the dots, too! And your shaped spring fold thank you card is superb in lavender and all that white! The flower border is divine!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #11! Hugs, Darnell

  25. 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!".

  28. That 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 :)
