I'm so happy to be a guest designer for the Twofer Card Challenge today. The prompt word is geometric.
For my geometric design I chose the Wood grain framed diamond wire die by Kat Scrappiness to use on both cards.
I stamped a Christmas tree on a white card panel and added a sequin star on top. I mounted the panel on green card stock and cut a Poppy Stamp window frame. I cut the diamond wire down to fit behind the window frame and glued it to acetate and attached it to the back of the frame. I popped the frame up on foam tape and added it to the card. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn.
I cut another diamond wire and added it to a top folding black card base for my second card. The happy birthday and cupcake are Simon Says Stamp dies and sponged with Distress Ink I added glossy accents to the frosting and added foam tape to the back of it and added it on top of the die cut.
Edited to add: I am going to add my Christmas tree card to the challenge at

What clever use of the lattice on the Christmas window, Brenda ... looks like leaded glass in a traditional cottage ... with the tree inside just waiting for Santa to come and load up the underneath with presents! Love the bold, graphic look of the black on white background for your fun cupcake ... that shiny pink frosting looks particularly scrumptious! Thanks so much for inspiring our players as our Guest Designer this month at Twofer! Anita :)
Two super cards Brenda, I love your diamond trellis - it is perfect as a window and background, such a good idea.

Fantastic way to use this amazing die, Brenda. It makes the most beautiful design for your Christmas decorated window. So clever ... reminds me of the diamond design windows, only prettier! :) And a great background for your "sweet" birthday card with the delicious cupcake. Thanks for being our Guest Designer this month at Twofer Card Challenge! xx
Congratulations. Your cards are wonderful too.
What a great die that is - it looks so real. Lovely cards! The colours in the cupcake one especially really appeal to me. TFS
Congrats on your GD spot, Brenda! Two very different fabulous cards, so creative!
So clever to use the diamond trellis die as you did, Brenda! Just love it as a window detail on your darling Christmas card! It looks great as a background for your birthday circle too!!
Hurrah! Congrats on being the GD, Brenda! You've done them proud with 2 great cards--so creative! Sending hugs, Greta
Congratulations on your GD spot for the Twofer Challenge. You've made two wonderful cards for the challenge. xx
This is a new die to me, Brenda, and I love it, you enabler, you! I am so thrilled to have you as one of our Guest Designers and I love both of your designs! The full-background diamond grid is really effective against the black card as a backdrop for that glistening delicious cupcake! And it makes a perfect window grid for your warm Christmas-tree-in-the-window scene! Thank you for being so supportive and being our GD! (You might want to edit your post and enter your Christmas card in Loll's CAS Christmas challenge where the brief is "tree!") Hugs, Darnell
Brenda, your twofer cards are wonderful! I love that you put the diamond pattern into the window. It reminds me of the opening from Lady and the Tramp when the camera zooms from outside to inside the Victorian Christmas scene. It also makes a great background for that yummy cupcake! The glossy frosting is so inviting! Thanks so much for guest designing for the Twofer Card Challenge!
The die you used is elegant and so versatile, as you have shown in your cards. Love them both! It is fun being a co-guest designer with you. Hope to see you on this and other challenges in the future.
Congratulations on guesting and also with the unconventional win x. Such a clever and creative use of the geometric wood grain wire die. The window scene is adorable and so cute. Great use of the die for the background of card number two. Two very different cards using the same die cut....Fabulous cards, both of them x.
First, congratulations on your win at Twofer last month! Woot!! And your Guest Designer cards are fabulous with that pretty die cut! I love the window with the Christmas tree peeking through! And the white die cut is so pretty on the black with the Happy Birthday colored die!
A HUGE congrats on your DG spot on the Twofer Challenge Brenda!!! I love how clever you are my friend-I need to rub elbows with you. lol These two cards are amazing and boy did you rise to the challenge in a clever way! I love that cover plate you used, it looks great on your Christmas card window and it looks great as a background on your birthday card. Clever indeed with the window Christmas card. You went and did it again! Hugs, Brenda
Hi Brneda. Love your sweet Christmas tree through that beautiful window and happy you shared with us at CAS Christmas!! xx
two great cards, love that wire mesh in front of the window and such a pretty Christmas tree in the background.
Congrats on your GD spot on the Twofer Challenge! Two fabulous cards with your trellis die, Brenda! I love how the tree appears to be inside a window...so clever and beautiful! Your circular sentiment and cupcake work perfectly, too! Barb G. (GD for CAS Christmas Challenge)
Hey friend...finally hobbled into the craft room for a minute and wanted to leave you some love. Your two cards are fabulous, love that wire mesh die, it is amazing! Awesome cards for the two-fer and thank you for also sharing it at CAS Christmas! Heart Hugs, Col
Congratulations on your win at Twofer Card Challenge last month, Brenda!
A very clever way of using the diamond wire die-cut! You created a cozy holiday scene with the Christmas tree and the pretty diamond patterned window. Love the modern background and the pretty cupcake with shiny frosting of your second card too.
Thanks so much for sharing the tree card with us at CAS Christmas! Hideko xx
Congratulations on being a Guest Designer for the 2fer! YAY! And I love your take on the geometric theme! Now I would never have looked at this 'screen' and thought geometric! Clever of you. And it works excellently as the mutins in the window to show that pretty tree, as well as the background cover for the birthday card. Oh how your creative skills are blossoming!!! TFS & Hugs
Congrats on your GD gig with Twofers. Two wonderful cards. Love the window frame and die with the Christmas tree. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing it at CAS Christmas this month.
