Today I have a couple birthday cards made with the same design, but using different colors and papers. I love this Darice swirl die and paired it with some Lawn Fawn polka dot dsp, creating a little tag done with a SU! note tag punch, and added a heat-embossed birthday sentiment with white on black, then stamped the smaller sentiments with black on the Bermuda Bay tag. I added some tiny circles done with a Poppy holly and berries die set and a little snippet of twine to the tag finished this off. I find I can make 2 cards just as easily as one when they're the same design, but I use different colors to mix them up.
Here it is with some gold cardstock and coordinating dsp, The snippets are from my stash and the twine is by Lawn Fawn.
I'm entering these into the following challenges:
Cuttlebug Mania Challenge - birthday celebration
Thanks for checking in and I hope your Wednesday is just perfect!

Wonderful cards, love the colours on each and how the die is the centrepiece, great sentiment placing on the tag too. LOVE them.

I agree with you on the beauty of this Darice swirl, its fabulous and also big enough to be the central piece of a card. I have had two diecuts from you times ago and I'm in love with them. I have to buy this die! :D
ReplyDeleteYour cards are both adorable, love your simple design, it's very effective!
Such pretty birthday cards -- I love the way you showcased that swirls die cut! I'm so happy you linked this up to The House That Stamps Built!
ReplyDeleteSuper cards Carol, they are both fabulous but I especially like the colours on the second one.

These are wonderful. Great layout and I love both color versions as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a super card design and it looks equally good in both colour ways. The die cut flourish is lovely and makes a great focal point.

I am loving that flourish too Carol and I totally love both of these cards! Love the dotted papers you used and that tag is just as cute as it can be. Love the colors on both cards as well. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSuper set. Love the colours you've used and they show the design off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Carol. They look so different by just changing the colours. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the dotty papers and the fabulous dies. Two great cards.x [aNNie]
ReplyDeleteClever 2-fer and my, did the change up of colors make each card look very different. Loving the design, and this is a most versatile little flourish. Also like the little 'buttons' beneath that cute sentiment tag. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it in both colors! Great job, Carol!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful, Carol!! Love the different colors and designs on each! The swirl die is just perfect and the tag finishes it off nicely! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I like both color combo's! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGosh how different they both look just by changing the colour ways around. My money is on the first one though which just has the edge for me. Hugs Mrs a.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love making 2 or 3 cards at the same time too. It really helps build up the stash that way. I change up the sentiments too.
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards Carol. I absolutely love the layout and couldn't choose my favourite colourway. They're both so pretty. Barbxx.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards!! That swirl die is beautiful and since it's from Darice, I know it's affordable. I'm going to have to check that one out! The little sentiment tag is adorable and finished off both cards perfectly! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
