I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer for the Twofer Challenge #33. The the theme this month is 'Stars', two card with different designs, for two different occasions, using the same stamp, die or stencil.
The die I used on both my cards was the MFT 'Peek-a-Boo Stars' die. It die cuts five rows of tiny stars.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the ways stars are used in the November Twofer Challenge Challenge.
For my first card I used the die with a piece of navy blue card and backed it with silver non-shed glitter card. I cut off the bottom of the white card front and attached the navy blue card die cut card to the top. The trees are NBUS dies from the Sizzix 'Winter Trees' set of dies and stamps. After cutting off the middle section of the card front, I attached the three trees to join the card together again. To make the trees more stable, I glued plain white die cut trees to the back. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up 'Perfectly Plaid' set of stamps and stamped with a green metallic ink pad.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
I used the same die with navy blue card on my second card, but this time I cut the die cut into strips and backed with yellow card. The quote is a very old wood mounted stamp which I've had for 10+ years, stamped in navy. The moon was coloured with a fine yellow Sharpie pen. I used the star strips to make a frame. The sentiment is another old wood mounted stamp, also stamped in navy, and layered on a navy mat.
I am joining the following challenges with this card:
Congrats on your GD spot, lovely cards for the challenge. Nice inspirational quote on the Good Luck card x
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Liz, love the layout on the first and the inspirational sentiment on the second
ReplyDeleteA very creative way of using this die in two very different ways.
ReplyDeleteSo different and if you see the cards apart you would not easy recognize the same stamp! So clever! Hugs, Gerrina

Two super cards that are so totally different. You have really put your thinking cap on and the results are lovely. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteVery creative Liz! Your ideas couldn't be more different. Love the little frame of stars, and the way you made the tree card is so unique!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant Liz, Great use of that peek-a-boo stars die xx
ReplyDeleteA great design on your first card. I love that look and the star die is very pretty. The sentiment on the second card is so inspirational and the frame of stars looks great. Congratulations on being guest designer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being one of our guest designers this month at Twofer, Liz! Once again you came up with such a cool design layout for that first card! I thought for sure you were using acetate in between the white and navy. How clever to back the trees and attach them that way to join the two! And your good luck design will no doubt be displayed on the recipient's desk as constant encouragement. I love it! Keep well. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeletep.s. I'd love to see you share with everyone at NBUS, too, Liz! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards and clever use of that star die.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being the GD over at the Twofer Challenge this time Liz, and love both pretty cards. The stars on both cards look very effective against the dark background and backed in silver on the first with those wonderful stylised trees and a interesting shape too, and then in yellow on the second to go with the lovely sentiment and yellow coloured moon to make a great 'Good Luck' card. x
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the star die, love both your cards and especially the first one, such fabulous design!
ReplyDeleteLove those little stars, Liz! What perfect little rows they make, and so pretty with the silvery glitter paper behind them. Clever, too, to use the trees to hold the top and bottom halves together. Love that idea...might have to borrow it! And those little star strips make a great frame for your second card, as well. Such a sweet sentiment! Thank you so much for joining us this month as Guest Designer at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev
ReplyDeleteLiz, thanks for joining us at Twofer Card Challenge. Your star cards are such fun. The blue sky filled with sparkly stars over your trio of trees is lovely and that star spangled frame is another fun way to see the stars.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so very nicely done. I like how you did your tree card. (That design may go on my "To do" list!
ReplyDeleteTwo CAS and lovely, lovely cards Liz!! Your Christmas card just couldn't be any prettier with the rows of stars and the wonderful tree dies...love the design of this card too! And how clever to cut the rows of stars into strips to create a frame...love, LOVE this and how perfectly your sentiment fits into the frame! Thanks so much for guesting with us this month Liz...your cards are sure to inspire our players this month!! Hugs. :0)

What a super twofer, Liz! The first is so deliciously shimmery and graphic with those rows of stars across the sky and the stylised Christmas trees ... the open section is a great touch! Your starry frame on the second card really draws the eye to that fabulous sentiment ... such a clean, crisp, fresh design! Thanks so much for Guest Designing with us at Twofer ... and inspiring our players! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful cards for Twofer, Liz! I love how your tiny stars land on each of the tree tops, and how those trees link the two panels together! You were so clever to use strips of that star die cut to create a frame, and it's the perfect frame for that sentiment! Thanks so much for being our guest designer at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteTwo awesome star cards Liz! LOVE the design of the Christmas card with the cut-out middle section. So unique and creative! And the star frame is just the perfect size for the perfect sentiment. Congrats on being Guest Designer at Twofer this month! xx
