I love the term NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) and have a whole pile of NBUS on my bed that I have not had time to play with. First the holidays and meeting publication and design team deadlines, then CHA left me with no time to play with my NBUS. Now I am catching up from being away a week. But I did manage to get one card designed with my NBUS die from Simon Says Stamp Sketch Heart. I am fascinated with the positive and negative versions of cool dies like this one. I die cut the sketch heart twice out of the red card front and again in white, layering the white heart over the top sketch heart opening. I added a die cut love and heart from W Plus 9 and ended up with a CAS Valentine or Love card. I think I will give this card to my husband for Valentine's Day.

Don't you just love the phrase that Darnell coined?!! I love it too and have lots of NBUS! I tend to put it away and then forget what I have. Not a good thing to do. lol I was looking at this same heart die and almost bought it, but decided not too. Now I wish I had! Your card is beautiful and I think it will be a great Valentine for your hubby! Hugs, Brenda
What a cool card, love the design of your heart die and how this CAS love card turned out!

Oooh, that is one cool sketchy heart die ... thanks a lot! lol! I love your pretty valentine for your hubby in the classic bright red and white, Karen!! You must like jigsaw puzzles, right? At least I do and I think that's why I love playing with the positive/negative aspects of the dies and doing the different colored inlays. And now with the word dies, my stamps are even more NBUS and neglected!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3 and for your kind words and consistent support of my acronym! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
