More Faceted Diamond easel cards

Hello,
I can't stop making these Diamond Easel cards.  Here is the link to my previous post including a full video tutorial and templates
Instead of revealing a "secret" message, I put some die cuts to pop up when you open the easel and make it "stand."
 

In order to make the dies to sit up, I put a 1/2"strip of acetate (what you get from the stamps) between the DSP and cardstock on the front. You could also use a window sheet instead.
I used matching cardstock for the dies:  Smoky Slate, Early Espresso, and a leftover piece of DSP.

In order to make the easel, I used a strip of DSP and propped it up with a Foam Strip.

More Quilt card using Mixed Up Patterns DSP

Hello, 
I really like the Quilt technique (click link for previous blog post) that I blogged about before, and made more cards using the Mixed Up Patterns DSP.  Let me know what you think about these color patterns. 
Do you like the square in the middle? I used a circle for the last batch of Quilt cards.

Optical Illusion Square card using Two Toned cardstock circles

Hello,
I was inspired by this video to create this card. It was called an Optical Illusion, and I love the look of the "square" on the circles! When I first saw it, I said to myself,  "Challenge Accepted!"

You needed 8 circles with 8 circles of a lighter color and I thought, why not use the Two Toned cardstock for this?
I started with these 8 circles, going clockwise:  Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, and Poppy Parade.

Then, you punch another set of circles from the same Two toned cardstock, but flip them over to see the lighter side of the circles on top of the regular side on the bottom.  The color difference is really subtle, you really have to look closely to see the difference.
Then you cut the lighter side circles in the same order. Half circles on the top, left, right, and bottom. Quarter circles for the four corners
Once you glue the cut pieces to the cooresponding circles, it really does look like a lighter square "on top" of the circles, but it's not. Isn't that SO COOL?
Here is the full video tutorial:
