Twin Birthdays



Two 'matching' cards today, for our 'matching' twin nephews, Luke and Oliver. I admit that I was running late to make these, so I went back through my old cards to see what I could CASE quickly. I came across my card for Tracey from last year here:



Fun, quick and easy to recreate two times, 'same but different'. I used the same Stampin Up sentiment and sponged 4 colours on each panel - one cool and one warm. I cut Lawnfawn 8s (6 times - 3 stacked on each).

Kate also made 'same but different' cards for the boys (her cousins) - go check them out here!

CASing yourself is a great way to find inspiration quickly. And it's always fun to look back at previous work and take the opportunity to see how you would do it differently this time!

  3. I had a crafty weekend and did exactly that - cased myself to finish up my Christmas cards. Love the gorgeous inking for the twins cards.

  4. Thank you, Ardyth, for inspiration! I'll case it with a reference to you, if you don't mind. I have to make a male card, I came up with element and technique, but couldn't imagine the composition. Now will try to do something alike :)

  11. Love these, Ardyth! I used the last of my masculine birthday cards this weekend and will be CASEing this design to replenish the stack :)

  12. Just brilliant, although I thought the twins are male and female...I guess I am just stuck in that red/blue color scheme for girls and boys...

  13. Fabulous sponging, Ardyth! The number 8 really pops against the bold colour on each card.
