As you can tell, my second card is a very CAS masculine card. I used the co-ordinating I Heart You dies for the You and I set, also being featured today. I needed a card for hubby to remind him that we loved having him all to ourselves for the past two weeks while we were on vacation as a family. That being said, he is a CAS card guy, so I kept things reeeeally simple for him because he has been known to say "men don't like cards", and been aptly smacked by none other than yours truly on more than one occasion for said comment LOL! I know....the shame of it!!! Shouldn't all husbands of

Love them both!!! Wish I could sponge like that and the bow does not look like a dead spider (although I've thought that on my cards before!!!) Really intrigued by the heart dies and you and I set!!!
Good job on your vintage card! Love the colors on your CAS card! Great work!
These are AMAZING Marisa!!! LOVE both of these beauties!!
Love the pearls on both cards ! I'm a yellow fan too - so pretty !
Very pretty cards. Love the softness of the first one. The second one is just adorable. TFS
Both are awesome Marisa, love your scrunchy bow!!! So pretty!
You sure created a pair of beauties...there's definitely no resemblance to a dead spider. You'll have to teach me your tricks! Perfect sponging and bling addition. I also adore your manly CAS card. Pretty sure my hubby would say the same thing if he wasn't afraid of said swat! He keeps all of his cards, too. ;)
both of your cards are absolutely fabulous!!
Oh these are just gorgeous! I love the fabulous shabby beauty of the first one and the bold simplicity of the second one... just fantastic!
love the first one - so elegant! love the second - simple and bold!
wow, your creations are so gorgeous!
hugs and kisses from germany,
silvi xoxo
For not being your style you did a fantastic job on that shabby chic. Awesome card!
oh my goodness! super cute!
Love both of these, Marisa -- further proof that you can do it all! Definite vintage vibe on the first one (LOL at the dead spider reference!), and the second is just about as perfect a masculine CAS as I've ever seen! The next time I need a card for DH, I'll be casing this idea for sure! Well done!
Great job on both of your cards!
Oh these are GREAT; both are so unique and so beautiful!
how lovely to have a girlie glirl card and masculine one ;) I see you finally broke down and got some seam binding!! Don't you love how easy it is to work with? So happy your are enjoying all the festivities :) Yay!! Just beautiful :)
Hmm, I'm not sure these two cards were made by the same artist?! I love that we can do that with this hobby :o)
These are great!! Lovely work!
These are both awsome! Love that soft green paper, is that the same paper Andrea used? Love, love it! And the boldness of the second card is super too.
I love both of these! Your cards are just so elegant and finished looking! I really like the texture on the second card.
The first card is so romantic and soft...love it! Your husband is pretty typical...it's definately a guy thing! They have to act tough. My DH has kept his cards, too!
Fabulous cards, Marisa! Love that shabby chic one and you totally made me laugh at the dead spider comment! And a tough guy/closet mush of a husband is pretty cool! Love your masculine card!
Fabulous again girlie! Love your hubby's card, those dies are fabby! Your bow looks great, I'm telling you, I cannot make a bow with seam binding for anything, it's so upsetting, lol. Awesome job Diva! :D
Love your shabby chic...dead spider?:-) You do this kind of card really well.
Nice masculine that says so much with so little...great CAS creation.
Another great job today, Marisa! The first is so lovely. And that second is awesome. Bold and yet so quirky. Love the button and twine. (My big galoof of a hubby keeps all my cards, too, and thinks I don't know. ;)
Liked this so much I'd like to CASE it. Made a copy so I could.
Oh, yeah Marisa...I can feel you channeling the shabby style, 3000 miles away! What a lovely card, no smushed spiders that I can see! A wonderful crinkly bow, and LACE (love it) and sa-weet pearls! Oh heaven, I'm in heaven! And your second card? Simply marvelous! So crisp, clean and Marisa! The colors are so bold...perfect for the "tolerant" husband...I've got one of those too...AND he saves all his cards, too...
Love them both...great colors.
The first card is so feminine and delicate where as the second one is so bold! Love them both, awesome job!
something for girls and guys today. Love them both!
Both cards are great!!! Love your colors and layering on the first card and the texture on the second.
TFS,

Both cards are fabulous!
Look at you rockin' some vintage! The top card is just gorgeous! Your other card is fantastic, too! Beautiful, Marisa!
Your first card is so, so pretty! And I love the CAS-ness of the second one!
This is so very wonderful! I love the soft colors and the beautiful flowers and ribbon. I adore the Nestie Die inside the circle.
Beautiful card with the yellow and the lace ribbon:) Love the emboss on the second one very nice card! TFS
Such cute card, Marisa!
Another beautiful card. Very elegant.
Marisa!!! Two gorgeous cards - so different to each other but WOW!! Love the sentiment on the first one so much! xx
I love them both. Nice job, missy! sharon dot gullikson at gmail dot com
Lots of wonderful sets that need to come to my house. Great job.
You've kept the feminine and the masculine styles on top with these 2 great cards! Hafta say, I'm partial to the yellow...always love flowers and ribbon! :-)
I love the contrast of these two styles of cards Marisa - the soft and feminine one with that pretty pale yellow color, rosebuds and trim and the bold one with bright colors and contempo design. Terrific!
From shabby to CAS - you go, girl!! Love it! Can't wait to see the entire sets!!!!
Dead spider, lol! Your cards are both amazing - congrats on your GD gig!!
BOTH cards are FABulous!!!
Both are beautiful cards - so soft and lovely!
Both of these are just great Marisa!! Can't wait for tomorrow! Hugs,
From vintage-gorgeous to clean-and-simple-graphic-mod, you're a magician! Love both your cards. And I think your seam binding bow is superb. ;-)
Very cute cards!
You've got that shabby-chic style down! I onle mentioned earlier on that I really want to have a go at those seam binding 'professeional - mess' bows but can't get hold of any seam binding! I'm pretty sure I'd make a mess of it anyway, unlike you :)
Haa...the comments on your hubby made me smile! Love the contrast in the two cards...both are wonderful!
Great cards!!! I really like the second one. Thanks for sharing something that would work for guys as well as girls!!!
Great cards.
God bless,
PeggyS
Love the way the ribbon turned out on the shabby card! I also like the textured background and the pop of red color on the heart card!
Beautiful x 2!! Your husband is just a softy at heart!
Wow! You are the Queen of Texture!
I love the saying and delicate design of the first card and the CAS look of the second. Nice Job!!
these are fabulous, love the new sets and your card design.
Pinch, pinch...this is no dream! Love both of your cards today! I had to laugh at the dead spider comment, as I know all to well what you mean. Just how did you figure out that multi-looped bow! And you know I love me some CAS!!! Great manly card!
Your first card is lovely. Love the boldness of the second card.

Wow! Two totally different takes on these cards - love them! Thanks for the inspiration. :D
Lovely! I adore that sentiment! Colors are perfect!!
Lisa :)
Cute! I think the first one is my favorite. I love how soft and pretty it is!
You did a marvelous job on your shabby card! That bit of lace is beautiful, and so is your crinkled bow! I really love the simplicity of the second card, especially the embossing and wrapped twine. You certainly have your Diva on!
Two great cards! I love the pearls framing your sentiment panel and the rose bouquet on the first and the second is a PERFECT man card. Even if your husband says men don't like cards, we know they do. : )
Marisa- congrats on the guest position and as always- you've done fabulous work. Loving this sentiment set.
Love the cards they are so beautiful.
These are awesome!!!!!! The binding bow is to die for and that manly card is something I'd like to show up in MY post any day!!!!!
I love the card with the roses,ribbon and lace. What an elegant card.
Such a gorgeous vintage card! I love it! Wish I could do your squiggly ribbon as successfully as you do - note to self - practise practise practise!!
Marisa I adore your shabby card with that fabulous ribbon. You are definetly a Verve Diva!
I know I'm supposed to be commenting on the stamps you uses but wow the ribbon floral embellishment thing in your first project is divine. The sentiment and use of the dies is awesome too.
These are both great - from shabby chic to modern graphic:-)
Marisa, these are both wonderful! Can't wait to get these new stamps and dies!!! You are doing awesome with the sneak peeks!!
Saw your note...my sister lives in Walnut Grove now. Hope to stop there on our way home from the States in a few weeks!
Super sweet projects! :)
Congrats on being the Verve Guest Diva this month!! Your card is fabulous!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Love that soft yellow card. Verves sentiments are always so perfect.
Beautiful card. I liked how you showcased that the set can be used for both masculine and feminine cards. Nice job.
Love the white 'outline' that makes it all pop!
fabulous girl, I luv your photos, they look very good...these are both bold and beautiful!
enjoy *~*
Both cards are so different, but special each in their own way. Hope your non-card-lovin' hubby enjoyed his CAS one. ;) And the other is super-feminine and lovely!
Great masculine card adn i like the feminine feel of the yellow and great combo of SB dies.
Great cards!!
Such a difference between your cards and both appropriate for the intended. My fav is the first card, so soft and pretty and I didn't notice any spiders at all! Just lovely lace, pearls, layers, ribbons and bows. Great job!
Congratulations on the guest diva gig - much deserved! I don't see a dead spider, I see elegance! Gorgeous cards.
Oh WOW! Love your card with the yellow circle. Beautiful quote, love the pearls, a sweet touch!
Marisa, I love the how you've created 2 totally opposite cards here. Your vintage card is gorgeous and your bow is wonderful. What a great sentiment. Love your CAS masculine card - says it all!
I love your CAS card...it needs nothing more. And, it was quite entertaining to read your post today!
Both cards are fabulous in their own way! I think it must be something in the male chromosome since my hubby's just the same. Never admit it, but they really do appreciate our cards! :)
two very different styles but both are great for showcasing the new release!
these are SO pretty! You're rocking the release!
What variety in styles! Both are great!!!
From elaborate to CAS - fabulous job!
I love these cards! Love the elegant soft look at the firs one and the 'deep love'- look at the second one!
Oh so sweet! From soft to deep, I love them both!
these are both so different, soft and oh so feminine to big and bold! You are so clever! :)
