I've got two male birthdays in April so I made two cards using the same die. The first one used the letters cut from a snippet of red cardstock. Sorry - I forgot to photo the snippets as I wasn't sure what I was going to make. The cards sort of evolved as I went along! I mounted them onto a piece of 6 x 6 paper, the dots were very usful for lining up the letters! It looked a bit plain so I printed off some embellishments from Craft Artist and cut them out.
The second card used the negative of the die cut. Again mounted onto some 6x6 paper. I had to cut the A out twice as I lost the tiny middle.
Challenges:
Snippets Playground- 2 red card snippets, onr for the die and one for the mat.
Super cards Sue, the sentiment makes a great focal point.

Awesome cards! Even dots can be used to get the right alignment - smart move! I love both the cards, they look perfect! Thank you so much for joining us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant masculine cards here Sue. Great to see skipping around in the Snippets Playground again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the newly cleaned treehouse shortly. I'll make you a nice hot chocolate or pour out one of Miss Di's Snippets Specials if you prefer! xxx
Love this color combo and these two great bold Birthday cards. I especially love polka dots too. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.
