Today's teaser is all about sentiments and I worked with Clearly Sentimental about Grandparents, which is the Triple Scoop set for this release. In case you don't already know, you earn the Triple Scoop set FREE with a qualifying $60 order, and the set changes with each monthly release.
I have two cards to share and I went masculine for both of them. I know I've said it before, but masculine cards are becoming so much easier (and more enjoyable) to create with the wide range of MFT Die-namics. This release adds to the masculine Die-namics category with the Retro Squares Die-namics and the Lead the Way Die-namics.
I chose patterned papers from the Echo Park This & That paper pad and paired them with Hot Fudge card stock. I cut out the open Retro Squares from patterned paper then cut out the solid Retro Squares from Hot Fudge card stock and adhered them together. I heart is perfect with this sentiment so I used the heart from Homespun Birdhouse Die-namics to cut out a piece of burlap, then I added a Spearmint Button. The Lead the Way Die-namics was perfect for cutting out the arrow.
This next card also uses papers from the Echo Park This & That collection but it's much more colourful. First I cut out the open Retro Squares from Hot Fudge card stock then I cut out the same strip again from Orange Fizz, Sour Apple, and blue patterned paper in order to get the centers of the squares. Then I simply adhered them in the middle of the Hot Fudge open square strips. I think it's a fun look!
I used the Rectangle Squares 1 STAX Die-namics to cut out the sentiment panel and added an Orange Fizz tab which I cut out with the Mini Tabs Foursome Die-namics. The layout is the DS61.
