A Dash of Love, Joy & Hope...

9 Minutes 17 Seconds later...

...three things you can never have too much of .

Playing along with Festive Friday Colour Challenge, 10 Minute Craft Dash Buttons Challenges and Dream Valley CAS Challenge. This would almost have to be a record for me from the start of an idea to the to finish of a card too - amazing what one will do to avoid housework LOL!  These gorgeous WPlus9 die-cuts and Fancy Pants buttons, together with Swiss Dots embossing folder make for a super fast & fun card :)

10 Minute Dash Tips:

• Die-cuts, die-cuts and more die cuts :)
• Do as many cuts as you can in one pass to save time, I die-cut the three words and one snowflake altogether in the first pass.
• I centred the Swiss Dots on my cardstock before embossing them, then the Swiss Dots creates a natural grid to assist in aligning the die-cuts accurately and quickly.
• I lined up the longest word first (hope), then aligned "joy" above that and "love" above that.

 

This made me smile...

A Dashing His & Hers...

I'm so very far behind on my His & Hers Online Card Classes homework from last week, that having already created this card for this fortnights 10 Minute Craft Dash, I thought I'd try a "His" version of the same card.  Using the same layout and sentiment stamp, but substituting more masculine papers and elements - replacing spots with weathered wood, gingham with a starry night sky, a blossom branch with a twig die-cut and a plump coral birdie with a more svelte red one.  This red & white birdie combo reminds me of Christmas, and I'm playing along with Festive Fridays Element Challenge.  Thought I'd play along with Dream Valley Challenges No Squares Allowed - with not a square in sight - just LOTS of rectangles!

Here are the "Hers" & "His" cards side-by-side for comparison:
