Here are my cards together:
And separately:
Card number two is just a simple 'hello' card. This is the entire set of dies from SG. The sentiment is a C9 die. Black and white. CAS. I rather like it. Waaaay EZPZ.

TwoFer Challenge #31
Hi everyone. I hope that September is 'tree-ting' you right. Hahaha. I'm just full of horrid little jokes, sorry. Couldn't help it. Can you guess what the prompt is this month at The Twofer Challenge? Yep. Uh-huh. Trees. Now, I'd made all my DT cards for the year back in February before life became, well, waaay more challenging. And when I looked at my cards the other day, I thought, "hmmmmm....not sure if I like these any more." So I waited for my Simply Graphic order to arrive with some new (imagine that...) tree dies. I like this pair so much better! Now, you don't have to buy new stamps, dies, or stencils to play along with this month's challenge; nope. You can use what's in your stash to make two different designed cards for two different occasions.
The birthday card was made entirely of scraps over in my file drawer, and I bought that striped paper a million years ago to make scrapbook pages with...stopped scrapping a few years ago, and found this little gem amid the 'neutral' scraps. I've got one, maybe two 12x12 sheets that I'm hoarding saving for more cards. It has a nice masculine feel, which is good since this one is winging its way to my middle son for his birthday. So EZPZ. An MFT die, a C9 sentiment, and that new Simply Graphic die.

Two fantastic CAS cards. I like the graphic look of the trees and the design of both cards.

Come on, Bev - show us the Twofer you passed over too! Anyway - just absolutely adore your graphic leaves!! So masculine on the neutral papers and so fun as a trio on the black/white hello. Two fab cards!!
Graphic designs are wonderful for masculine cards and this birthday card fits the bill. I love that paper, it looks like ticking fabric they used for pillows back in the day. (Well, my day)! It brings back sweet memories. The hello card is striking in black and white and really stands out.
I really like what you came up with for your two tree designs during your Neutral Phase, Bevie! They are uber CASlicious and wonderful designs to celebrate your cool NBUS trees! I love that they work for any age and any gender! Keep well! Miss you! Hugs, Darnell
These are so elegant - love the shapes of those trees!

CAS and AWESOME Bev!! I love, LOVE the SG die you used...can totally see why you had to go shopping!! And your single tree birthday card is just as cool (LOVE the striped DSP!!) and the trio of trees in your hello card! I mean I really, REALLY like those tree dies!! You definitely nailed this challenge my friend! Stay safe and take care! Lots and lots of hugs too! :0)
Give me neutrals every time, Bev! So cool. So graphic. So.... perfect - twice!

Wow Bev, loving the humor and we can all use some humor these days! So please keep sharing your cute little jokes! Now I wonder what your two other tree twofers looked like, hope you will share them at a later date with us. These two new twofers are fabulous! First off I love the black and white/black and tan/vanilla color combo's. Very sharp looking cards! The birthday card is so masculine looking and funny because isn't anything specific that makes it look masculine, but it just does. Maybe it is the pattern paper that gives it the masculine look, I don't know, but I do know it is fabulous! You son will love it! Your hello card is just so artsy. I love how you have grounded these trees, and the sentiment is just perfect to send a fall hello. Hope you are navigating this journey my sweet friend, I know it takes time but I hope you have plenty of family and friends around to help you. Love and Big Hugs, Brenda
Bev, your trees are fabulous. I'll bet they were fun to play with and I adore the monochromatic palette...so modern. Hugs.
These cards both have a modern cool vibe, Bev! I love those new dies - they are fantastic trees, and work perfectly with your CAS style. I hope you're staying warm these days. Where did our summer go? Please let us have more than two weeks of fall this year! Talk to you soon x
Graphic and bold - love them, Bev!
Very modern and totally fabulous Bev! I love that you have created them in the black outline but these are such versatile dies and I can imagine them in all different colour combos too, I can't wait to see if you make anything else with them!
What a great modern graphic look those trees have! Two fabulous cards Bev!
Cool, contemporary, CAS and so deliciously (and Simply!) graphic, Bev ... brilliant use of your new trees! Don't you just love SG ... so many goodies ... my wish book is huge!! Big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
I can see why you wanted these trees, Bev. You've made wonderfully graphic, neutral CAS cards with them but I can see them in a variety of other colors and configurations.
I like both your cards. The first is a nice CAS card. I like how you just highlighted one of the trees. The second card is also cute.
Yes, but buying more stamps and stash is so much more fun than NOT buying them. ;) Until you look at your bank account at the end of the month, that is.
These cards are so fab. They're totally 70s mod retro to me. I love how you can use such amazing clean lines to create something so dramatic and full of WOW.
love this so much ... what a great job
They are wonderful and yes, challenges are the perfect reason to buy new stuff!!
You carry on punning Bev - you brought a smile to my face! I love those tree dies and can clearly see why you just had to have them! They work perfectly for masculine cards (well for anyone really!) and the neutral colours give them a very elegant look. Vicky x
Love these contemporary trees, Bev! They're perfect for masculine cards or for gals too!
AWESOME! Love the two different designs with these amazing stamps, Bev. Such modern, CAS designs. LOVE them! xx
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog Bev and I hope you are too staying safe. I adore these design, love the kraft base and wow to that graphic tree-sending hugs x
