I created the bottom card for a chorus friend who became a US citizen on my birthday!! I couldn't attend the ceremony as I was out celebrating with my family but heard all about it at chorus. Maria was one of only two from Germany to become citizens out of around 950 in her group; she didn't know a soul but made a few new friends. A bunch from the chorus was able to join her and found it very inspiring. The other card will go to my brother with a birthday coming up.
Thanks to the Darnell and crew at the Twofer Card Challenge - be sure to check out all the inspiration over there!! Thanks for stopping!

wonderful twofer "star" cards, Linda - and perfect for both occasions!!
These are both a lot of fun!
You aced the challenge with these two cards, Linda! I especially like the idea of your second card as a congratulations on your friend, Maria, achieving her citizenship. Clever! Your first is one of those hard to make masculine cards, but yours turned out just perfect. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer!
Awesome two cards Linda. The one for your chorus member is really pretty and I'm sure she loved it.
Another fabulous set of cards, Linda! Great take on the Two-fer challenge!
So clever, two great designs using the same star die!
Thanks for stopping by my blog Linda, Bonnidee is a local stamp store here in Montreal, and they have their own line of stamps.
Two great starry cards, Cheryl! Both recipients will feel like the stars they are! Happy Birthday to your brother and congratulations to your friend from chorus who became a US citizen! She will treasure your card celebrating this incredible event in her life!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #13! Hugs, Darnell

You really nailed the challenge, Linda! Love both cards & so fun to see how different they look even with the same star die!
Two great designs, Linda! I love that you had a special occasion for your congrats card. I'm sure it will be treasured! The orange birthday star really pops on your starry background. Great job making a collage. I tried that yesterday in Pixler to no avail. I guess I need to research that more. Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
