Happy Tuesday, peeps! CAS seems to be about the only thing I can come up with lately, LOL! I recently bought the Patchwork Pieces dies and decided to use them to make a couple of CAS masculine cards. Really, the dies and the papers do all the work! And since you need at least two different patterns or types of paper, you can create two cards in almost the same amount of time it takes to make one! So here we go:
I used Gray Granite and some Woodsy Plaid papers from Memory Box and diecut them with the dies. Ahead of time, I had made a template, tracing the die on scrap paper and numbering the pieces so I would be able to see how to put them together again easily! I also found it helpful to adhere the diecut pieces to a slightly smaller piece of scrap paper and THEN adhere the entire patchwork to my cardstock.
After assembling both sets of patchworks together, I mounted them on a mat of Misty Moonlight cardstock and a white card base. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight as well; it's from a new set called Throughout the Year. I diecut it and added another diecut mat of Gold Foil:
And on the inside, a sentiment in Boho Blue from another new set, Fruitful Blessings; I really love this sentiment, I know I'll be using it way past the fall season!
But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7-10
