Remember, it's cards only, two different designs, two different occasions, and must use a stamp, stencil, or die. No digital stamps for the prompt image, please. See the Twofer Blog where Darnell has been very thorough in explaining the concept on her Rules, Definitions, and FAQ pages.
The stamp I used for the Sweets theme is an older, well-used Stampendous Tiers of Treats. I've made a birthday card and a thank you card.
Here's the whole stamp for the birthday card, combined with stitched dies and glittery sprinkles. I stamped a Poppystamps sentiment below.
Hop over to the Twofer Blog for samples by the team and our talented guest designers. You'll get some great ideas! Enjoy your day!

Well I have to say you have done it again. I have in the past used the taping method but for some reason I haven't used that for a long time. Thanks for reminding me. I love the ribbon die cut on the first card and the ric rac on the second one. Not sure if it is actual fabric or another die cut but I still love it! Have a great upcoming weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, I wait patiently for The Twofer Challenge every month, I always wonder what you guys will come up with for all of us to participate.
ReplyDeleteThis one is sweet as can be and your cards are even sweeter.
Beautiful designs and colors, so bright and yummy too.
So now, I need to go and look for some sweets for the sweet stamps and get busy.
Thank you for the inspiration, my friend.
Hugs.
Maria.
I'm in love with both of these cuties!! I'm another one who waits to see what awesome things you will post! And I'm never disappointed! I'm in total love with anything you post!! Awesome, as always,Leslie!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, YOur strawberries look good enough to eat. What an adorable thank you. I love the stack of sweets of the whole stamp and the bit of flourish ribbing you added across the top, such a festive bit to add to a fabulous birthday card.
ReplyDeleteAlways look forward to seeing the 'twofer' challenge and what everyone comes up with for the theme. These are great and how smart/creative of you to use just the top part of the stamp for the second card...maybe, maybe someday I will smart enough to figure out a twofer lol!! You certainly have some nice stamps in your stock and I sure enjoy seeing all your fabulous cards!! Today is our last day of nice weather, then comes rain and the 50's and Northern Michigan is to get some snow, they can ave it lol!!
ReplyDeletereally pretty. Love the way you broke up to see only the strawberry plate. Nice. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous and I think I see winners here. I love how you just used the plate of strawberries for the one card. That was clever use of two ways of using that design.
ReplyDeleteOh my, such beautifully colored and yummy sweets displayed on your tiered tray. Beautiful die cut frame for your 1st card. Love your simply sweet 2nd card too masking off the yummy strawberries. TFS Leslie. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteLeslie, these cards are fantastically sweet! Those little cakes and strawberries look delicious, and your coloring of them all is just delightful. Makes me want to pop round to the Danish bakery here in town for a few of their petit fours! The green papers really make your images stand out, and I love the little 'candy' sprinkles. This is duo of delights, if you ask me! LOVE these sweeties!! Sending hugs! Bev
ReplyDeleteHI, Leslie (soon to be birthday girl1) - I always marvel at the way you use part of a stamp, instead of the whole thing, to make an utterly different creation! The are both not only darling, but beautiful (with your favorite rick-rack border die. Wishing you a great day! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! No pun intended. LOL! These are both so delicious. Great way to use your stamp for something a little different. I love the simplicity of just the strawberries, a bit of rick-rack and a splatter of leaves. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge! I love the stamp you used. So interesting how you can use the same stamp for different occasions. I love that you taped off part of the stamp for a totally different look! So cute! The ribbo die is really cool! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLeslie these are simply charming! I like the clean designs on both of them. That ribbon streamer floating by the tower of sweet treats adds to the festive birthday theme. And I like the mix of fonts on the other cards sentiment. Thanks so much for your sweet comment today, it means the world to me. So happy to be joining you girls this month!
ReplyDeleteNow aren't you just too clever, I love that idea of taking the top portion and using that only, I wouldn't have thought of that, now you will have me looking at my stamps in a whole new way :) These are both so SWEET! Love your frame in that birthday card and all the fun confetti with it!
ReplyDeleteLove your coloring of those strawberries and the touch of green you have added to the thank you card!
Two scrummy yummy cards love the stamps.xx
ReplyDeleteSuch SWEET cards!!! So fun and clever!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum yum! Two wonderful cards, Leslie, and a great way to use the stamp for the challenge. I love the second card the most:)
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards and love the stamp you used

These are SO CUTE!! LOVE the die cuts you used and your masking on the stamp. BEAUTIFUL cards!!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to when you do your Two-fer challenge, as you always amaze me with what you come up with. Leslie, these are both fabulous cards, love how you used the die cut and kept it all together for your first card, the ribbon die cut and sprinkles make it such a happy card for a birthday. The second card is very CAS - love it, and love that you masked off the treat tray and only used the top portion - very cleaver! Sorry for late commenting, was supposed to be off yesterday, but had to work and worked all day today as well. Good thing we have Monday off to celebrate Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing Leslie, I always look forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so gorgeous! I love your designs Leslie and those treats look so edible!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards with that sweet image, Leslie! Just love how you included just the strawberry top for card two. All coloring is AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork on that stamp, and you used it beautifully on both of your cards, Leslie! Those bright colors along with the streamers and confetti make for a fun party! Selectively stamping the strawberries alone was a clever way to use that stamp, and a sweet way to say thank you to a friend!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love that sweet stamp as a whole tier and have never seen it before! What a fun stamp for anyone enjoying their day! Love the streamer and colorful bling you added! And your CASlicious card truly deserves that made-up word! It's brilliant to have just used the top layer! Amazing coloring, as always!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteGotta say I love these sweet and cute cards! You know how I love multi layers and colors and sparkle so it may surprise you that the second card is my very favorite. You nailed CAS on that one and it's a delight to see how you used the images differently by masking.
Your cards are truly YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteYour tiered plates of sweet treats is simply scrumptious, Lesley ... the framing puts me in mind of delicate doilies ... a necessity for a strawberry tea! Great masking to display that single plate of luscious strawberries ... it's so fresh and CAS ... and yummy! Hugs, Anita :)
