For my cards tonight, I paired the new You Make My Day set with several of the new Die-namics.

I used the Lilybee Designs Victoria Park paper pad, along with Gumdrop Green, Bubblegum, Sweet Tooth, and Black Licorice cardstock. My sentiments were stamped with the new Black Licorice ink. At the base of my card, I used the new Layered Hearts Border Die-namics in Bubblegum over my green paper. 

I then used the Heart Stax Die-namics to cut out my heart, which I then intertwined with the new Leaf Filled Flourish Die-namics in Gumdrop Green. To accent that, I used the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose Die-namics in two different Lilybee Designs papers. As a finishing touch, I added some Bubblegum Grosgrain on a Spiral Clip.

For my post tonight, I instantly thought of a card set. Making masculine cards is SO hard for most people, so I decided to make a small set of cards that can work for many different occasions.

For my cards, I used the same supplies on each one.  I started with a Whip Cream base. I added a small strip of Basic Grey Archaic paper, with a Little Open Scalloped Border Die-namics strip in Hot Fudge.

I then stamped my images using Jellybean Green ink, and for my sentiment, I used Fossil ink.

The sentiments were cut out with the Sentiment Strips Die-namics.

To finish, I tied some Hemp Cord from MFT around the top strip of paper.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

For my card tonight, I used the Document It-Off The Chart set. I LOVE the new Accent It-Pie Chart Die-namics, and I couldn't wait to use it with this SUPER fun set.
