Welcome to day three of Teaser Time for My Favorite Things! It's been a great past few days... and I'm excited to share the cards I created for today!

In addition to Distressed Diamonds and Primitive Pumpkins, I get to share a little using the Clearly Sentimental: About Grandparents.

Masculine cards can be a little difficult. I tend to keep them simple and clean. I used Distressed Diamonds to create a color diamond pattern. This reminds me of a warm, cozy sweater that my Grandpa might have worn. I love being able to create these patterns of color with this set.
I used the new High Rise Alphabet Lowercase for the "hi" and About Grandparents for the sentiment. It's a pretty font huh!

A simple inside that reflects the front.

Next is a totally different style of card... elegant and full of details.

I used Distressed Diamonds to stamp the background on the card base. The little stars are from Primitive Pumpkins.

I thought it would be neat to create elegant cream pumpkins. I inked the stems of the pumpkin images and stamped those... then added the flourishes. I added depth with the frame that had the center die cut out. The little crystal flourishes are by Zva Creative.

The design elements are pulled into the inside too. I used a larger oval die cut to create a place to write something personal.

I used the new Harlequin die on this card too.

This is a great accent and goes really well with these new sets!

The full Primitive Pumpkins stamp set and Die-namics combo...

And Distressed Diamonds!
