"Amazing" cards...

 

I purchased this "Amazing" die not long ago and decided to make a couple of cards with it to donate to the thrift store. I thought that both of these could actually be masculine cards, even though there's a bit of a frilly edge around my rectangle.

I found a sentiment in my stamps that started with the words "You are." I inked up just the "You are" by putting some washi tape over the rest of it while I applied the ink and then taking the tape off before I stamped. Then I die-cut the two words and popped them up on foam tape.

I used the same process for  the stamped portion of the sentiment on this card, too. 

The enamel dots were added with a bit of liquid glue, even though they are self-adhesive. I have found that they don't stick as firmly as I'd like them to, so now I always add a drop of glue to hold them in place.

On this card, the word "Amazing" was cut from some metallic blue cardstock. 

You may have noticed that I cut the little extra flourishes off the die-cut on the first card, but left them on for this card. Do you see them?

I stamped a fitting sentiment on the inside of each card to finish them.

I like having a few dies on hand like this "Amazing" die, because they give me the ability to make a card very quickly if I need to. I plan to think of a few more sentiments to work with it, like "You're thoughtfulness is Amazing," "To my Amazing friend," "To an Amazing couple," etc.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
