Two VERY quick CAS cards to share today, which I made at the weekend. My hubby and I went to an annual Ladies' Night dinner/dance on Saturday. I woke up in the morning and realised I'd totally forgotten to make cards for the two Chairmen who would be giving a speech to wish them a great evening. I needed one masculine and one feminine card and I decided to make them very similar.
The die I used is a Tonic die I bought a few years ago in sale, from memory it only cost me 50p! I attached the die cut to the embossed background. Five tiny clear gems added a little bling.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
I made the masculine card in black and white and used a star embossing folder for the background. I added three black gems in the corner.

Sounds as if that die was a bargain - you've made two great cards with it. I'm reluctant to buy items with limited use but at that price you can't go wrong!
ReplyDeleteI've used this die several times already, as we go to the annual Ladies' Night most years. It was the perfect die for me to add to my collection and the bargain price was an added bonus. 😊 xx
DeleteGREAT use of the dies and great cards, love the both, I expect the recipients did too.

Perfect cards Liz. I'm surprised you didn't wake up in the night remembering - I've done that before! Shabneez x
ReplyDeleteI've done that before too! LOL! xx
DeleteGreat idea to make a 'his' and a 'hers' version of the same design Liz, they both look fabulous!

Hi Liz,
ReplyDeleteoh my word that was a very cheap die.
Love the wonderful sentiment and that is such a very useful die.
The both versions are brilliant and I love the embossed background.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
I love both of your cards Liz, but what really blows my mind is that you and hubby went to a ladies night dance and you have a ladies night die! lol I love it. Nice job in making for each a man and woman. Love the embossing folders you used on each as well. What a great find and on sale too, can't beat that! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI think the die was made for me, Brenda. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it in the sale! xx
DeleteWonderful die for either a Male or Female project. Thanks for joining us at A Place to Start this month for our" Create A Masculine Card or Project" challenge
ReplyDeleteI love your sentiment! This is a nice twist and very unexpected on a masculine card!
