Hi there crafty friends, can you believe it's already February? I'm still wondering what happened to a June--lol! Today we start a new color duo over st the Color Hues Color Challenge. I'm so excited to be your host for the February 1st challenge and even more excited to feature the color duo of Pink and Red! Perfect for many occasions but especially fun for Valentines.
I'm also excited to share with you that we are partnering up this challenge with the Inksprational Challenge! Details are shared over on the Color Hues Color Challenge blog from teammate and card maker extraordinaire Carol Mayne! This challenge our guest designer is fabulous Trina Pham!

I made another twofer this challenge by using an older Birch Press cover die called Cherish, I used Layer B which which leaves stitched hearts on the base. I cut it once from red cardstock, Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy, and once from Pink Lemonade, MFT Stamps.
The base layer was glued to my card base and then I inlay the opposite colour into the bases giving me two cards.
The sentiment "Hey Cutie" is from The Greetery's Hot Stuff! I don't have the dies, so I fussy cut the words he best I could. It took a few attempts--lol!
It's a bit harder to photograph so you can see the stitching lines on the red cardstock, but it shows up pretty good when you zoom in.
I am also posting this at Time Out Challenges #281!

Two lovely Valentines from that wonderful die, Tracey - how fun when you can get two pretty cards from one die - and that's such a sweet sentiment too! Julia xx
Tracey, I have several cover dies with hearts but none of them have the debossed/stitched detail! I don't blame you one bit for making two! TOO cute!

Another fabulous twofer, Tracey! I love the font on the sentiment too. It is going to be an awesome gallery!
I love a twofer, and yours are great! That die works wonderfully both ways--and the sentiment is a great one.
Who doesn't love a twofer Tracey, those bold hearts certainly pack a punch in either colour! :)
Your fussy cutting on the sentiment is amazing, Tracey! No need for a die! I love that you got two cards with reverse coloring! Great valentines and a perfect color choice!
These cards are fantastic! Love the die you chose and the pale pink really makes the red pop. Thanks for the challenge.
I loved your color choices for this challenge Tracey and your twofer is FABULOUS!! You made the two colors totally SHINE with all the hearts and a simple sentiment that you totally rocked with in the fussy cutting area (I thought you had used the dies till I read your post!!)! Thanks so much for such a FUN color challenge and good luck when it comes time to choosing a winner...I think you're going to have a hard time!! Haha!! Hugs. :0)
Tracey, we need some double doses of love these days - and your cards fit the bill perfectly! Twofer delights in every way! Isn't it fun to be part of a collaboration with Inkspirational; hope you'll share your cards in the gallery there when you have a chance.

What a delightful twofer, Tracey, and you have used a beautiful design for those colour hues. The sentiment is really sweet too.
Hugs

two lovely cards, perfect for the season and very cute to send out. Thank you for playing at the AAA Colourful Challenges
Tracey these are SO SWEET! I love the stitching on the backgrounds, and it's so fun to collaborate with your talented team~
You rock the twofers! This cover die is fantastic and perfect for the colour duos.
Tracey, you are so smart to pick a design that gives you double the cards! Love the stitching around the hearts and inlay always adds that little extra to any design. Thanks for a great color combo!
Twofers are always a plus, especially when they are as colorful as these wonderful valentines, Tracey. Thanks for sharing them with us at Time Out.
Beautiful cards Tracey - love all those pretty hearts x
A wonderful twofer design! The bold look is perfect for a cute Valentine's card, there can't be too much of pink or hearts when it comes to Valentine's! Thank you for joining us at Time Out!
Wonderful cover die and absolutely love your cards, Tracey! Hoping enough people in this country come to their senses and stop supporting these awful leaders. Can't even stand to listen to the news. Thank goodness for cardmaking. Sometimes putting your head in the sand is the only thing to do for self preservation.
What a great way to make two lovely cards! I love the sentiment too! Thanks for joining us at the AAA Colourful Challenge.
Theses are perfect for the challenges & I always enjoy 2-1 cards❣️
