Something For........Father's Day

Remember this tie?  I used it on my last card, a baby card!  Not surprising really as it's a set called Something For Baby. Isn't great when you can use your sets for other occassions? When I used the tie last time I thought it would make a super male card.  So here it is.

I used the In Colours.  You know they are all going to go together so no extra thought required.  Its easy peasy.

I stamped my ties on Whisper White and die cut an extra one using the Baby's First Framelits.  I cut the little heart and added the tie then popped it up on Dimensionals.

I added a little extra texture by scoring three lines along the top.  I then matted this onto Lost Lagoon card stock.  I turned to Crazy About You to add my sentiment.  This set is in the Spring/Summer Catalogue and is available in wood, clear and photopolymer.  I used the photopolymer which made it so easy to line up.

Here's a pic of the middle.  You can't see easily from the photo but I added the scored lines down the side of the whisper white panel. 

I know it's a long time till Father's Day but that's what the card spoke to me.  Does that happen to you?

I'm looking out on a very snowy scene with us today and cold North Sea winds.  It's Brrrrrr!  

Stay cosy and keep crafting!.  x

Edit: Thanks to Valerie I'm going to pop this over to Moo Mania which  has a masculine theme.

Freshly Made Father's Day Card

Hi I've managed to pop back on whilst Puppy is sleeping.  This is the other card I made yesterday. 

I've followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for my father's Day Card.  I started with a 6" by 6" Night of Navy Card.  I've added a mat of Cajun Craze then a panel of More Mustard embossed with the Chevron Folder.  A square of Comfort Cafe Designer Series Papers keeps the chevron theme going. I stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes on a strip of Whisper White and added some Night of Navy.  The car from Need for Speed is stamped in Marina Mist. 

Right is back to puppy watch for me.  Take care.  x

Sail Away Father's Day

Another Father's Day card from my last card class.  This time using Sail Away.  

I started with a card base of Bashful Blue.  Then ran some Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White through the Top Note Die.  With the Whisper White layer this was stamped with Woodgrain in Early Espresso.  For the main layer I stamped Sail Away in Early Espresso.  I then brayered the sky in Bashful Blue and the sea in Marina Mist.  Adding some clouds by using torn paper and sponging.  I stamped the boat again on Whisper White and cut out the sails to paper piece onto the original.  I stamped a third time in Cherry Cobbler and did the same.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler.  Then punched out using the Word Window Punch and mounted onto a Modern Label in Marina Mist.  I added brads to the sentiment and the top corner of the main panel. 

A big Hi to Lynda, appreciate you following me!

Thanks for coming in by.  It's always lovely to see you here.  Take care. x

Father's Day Owl

A Father's Day card to share.  This is one we made at my card class.  

I've stamped the sentiment from Delightful Dozen in Bashful Blue onto a Whisper White panel.  I repeatedly stamped the pine from Lovely as a Tree to create a branch.  Then I made my little Daddy owl.  He's punched in Bashful Blue using the Owl Builder Punch.  His wings were made using the 1 3/4" scallop circle.  His vest is from the Neutrals Paper Designer Stack as is his rolled up newspaper.  His glasses were hand made except for the circles behind his eyes which were created using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch - circle.  The panel is mounted onto Chocolate Chip card stock and the card base is Certainly Celery.  

I think we'll leave Daddy owl there so he has peace to read his newspaper! 

Just finished watching the Jubilee Concert on the telly.  Didn't they put on a good show?  Now it's beddy bo boos.  x

Father's Day Gift Wallet

This is a project that I saw on Tracey's Blog here.  I've adapted it slightly but the principle is the same.  A wallet to hold a gift card on one side and a photo or message on the other.  This could be an alternative to a card as with a white gel pen you write a message below the opening for the gift card.  Here's the inside - 

To make this I cut a rectangular piece of Chocolate Chip.  I corner rounded the corners.  I went round the edges with my white gel pen to make some faux stitching.  Then I embossed it with the square lattice embossing folder.  I added a strip of crumb cake punched out with the word window punch with a brad before attaching it half way down the side of the wallet.  The inside was decorated with Daffodil Delight designer paper from the brights stack.  The bottom half was covered with some more Chocolate Chip card.  Both were corner rounded.  I added some faux stitching again using the white gel pen.  The side for the pocket was only stuck down on 3 sides leaving the top for the gift card to slide in.  The opposite had a window made with Chocolate Chip card and some acetate.   I decorated the front with the Father's Day stamp from Occasional Greetings and mounted it onto some Chocolate Chip card. 

Of course this could be adapted for lots of occasions and makes giving a gift card that little bit more special.  

Thanks for looking.  x

Motorcycle Father's Day

Hello Everyone,  How are you all today?  I've got the music on supposedly to help me speed through my housework but here I am blogging again!  Oh well whilst I'm here let me tell you about my latest card.

I have a craft fair coming up at the beginning of June so thought I'd make some Father's Day cards.  This one uses the Motorcycle stamp from the mini catalogue.  I stamped it in Night of Navy slightly off the edge of my Whisper White card.  I then coloured it with Bashful Blue using my Blender Pen.  This was then mounted onto Bashful Blue card.  A Night of Navy background was created using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and attached to a larger Bashful Blue mount.  I stamped Happy Father's Day from Occasional Greetings in Night of Navy, firstly picking out Father's in Bashful Blue again with my blender pen.  Then placed to overlap the square lattice background.  This all sits on a Night of Navy card blank.

This is such a fun single stamp and I think it will be a big hit with the Dad's.   Thanks for looking, have a great day. x

Less is More - Father's Day card

Hello everyone, not so sunny here today but still nice.  I've been busy today working on my entry to this weeks challenge at  less is more which is to follow a recipe - off centre.  I can't believe that's the time already it seems to have disappeared today.

I've used one of the stamps from Lovely As A Tree. A bit different to my norm I decided to make a 6" by 6" card.  I chose the textured card stock in Sahara Sand as I felt it reminded me of the bark of a tree.  I stamped the tree in soft suede on whisper white.  I masked the tree and lightly sponged around it in crumb cake  and some pear pizzazz at the bottom.  Then added a little sponging to the foliage in pear pizzazz and again crumb cake to the trunk.  I was aiming at a soft effect.

I mounted two corners with old olive and wrapped chocolate chip ribbon around the bottom.  I then used two stamps for my greeting.  Both are in Occasional Greetings. Firstly the fathers day stamp was masked so that only Father's would show and this was stamped in soft suede.  Then I used the Happy Birthday stamp but again only inked Happy and Day.  These were positioned using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  The greeting was trimmed and placed onto the ribbon.

Phew can't believe I've only got one card to show for almost all day.  I'll never receive the speedy limette badge that's for sure. Lol!!

Have a great weekend. x
