Happy Father's Day!!

 

I know, I know....enough with the Father's Day cards already!!  LOL.  But I have had sooo much fun making all of these cards.  I guess I need to make masculine cards more often.  :)

I hope you are enjoying Father's Day today!!  My hubby is going to be enjoying breakfast in bed this morning made by all 4 of his kids!!!  :)  

I really love the way this card came out, I don't use red enough.  The image is Lili of the Valley, Top Chef and the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.  This image reminds me of my hubby.  He really is KING of the GRILL!!!  Even his hotdogs off the grill are AWESOME!!!  Even though it's Father's Day today, he will firing up the grill today for all of us!  :)

Boys Will Be Boys - 2 Cards Today!!!

Real quick post with more Father's Day cards for you today. 

Both images and sentiments are from Taylored Expressions, Boys Will Be Boys.

I stamped this image on Kraft cardstock and then colored it with my Copic markers.  Copic Creations has a challenge going on right now to use your Copics on "other" paper and since I had never tried that before, I decided this image would work perfectly to give it a go. I'm pretty impressed with how it came out actually. It's different coloring on Kraft because your colors don't show up how you normally expect them to, but I liked it.  

Challenges:

Copic Creations = #30 "Other" paper
Paper Play Challenge = #24 Something Old (Designer Paper)
Raise The Bar = #23 What a Special Guy

My Time To Craft Challenge = #95 Xtra Special

Recipe:

DP: Recollections, Autumn & Basic Grey, Origins

Kraft Paper: Papertrey Ink

Brads: Unknown

Copics: E57, E35, E31, Y17, Y15, R29, R46, C7, C5, C3, C2, C1

And here's card # 2

Again, a quick and easy card.  Both of these cards were also made with my scraps!!!  (I swear, I get such a big kick out of using my scraps!!!)  The tie's were paper pieced and shaded with my C1 Copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by!!

It's a Lazy Afternoon!!

My new Lili Of The Valley stamps came over the weekend and I'm having so much fun playing with them.  I've been using digital stamps so much lately that I almost forgot how much fun it is to play with actual stamps. (Get ready to see lots of new cards with these stamps, LOL)  I thought this image, Lazy Afternoon, would make a perfect Father's Day card.  I have 5 Father's Day cards to make!!!  This was going to be for my Dad, but when my husband saw it he said he wanted to give it to his dad!!  I was so flattered that he loved it so much.

I used my new Basic Grey Origins DP (that my sister made me buy, LOL) and a few brads...simple right?  Well, this card stressed me the heck out!!!  I could not get the coloring right, I wanted it to look softer, vintage like but I guess that's just not my style because no matter how much I tried it just wouldn't work.

Howdy!!

Good Morning!!  I'm late again, sorry.  My sister and niece are visiting and I actually forgot that it was Tuesday!!  Which is 2 Cute Tuesday, if you didn't know already!!  :)

I made this card for my handsome hubby for Father's Day using Original Cowboy Kid Digi from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps. Isn't he ADORABLE?!?!? He's my favorite image from 2 Cute and I've been saving him for Father's Day. This was going to be a card from my son to Daddy, but I came up with a cute sentiment for the inside and made it from me instead. LOL

I was able to play with my new Basic Grey, Max and Whisker's DP, a few button's from my stash tied with jute and call it DONE!!  This little guy was so fun to color too!!  The sentiment inside and out are computer generated (font: Comic Sans).  I had a really hard time keeping it simple to give to a man...I was dying to put ribbon on it.  LOL  :)

2 Cute - To The Moon

Hope everyone had a good weekend, I sure did!  Just spent time with the family relaxing out by our pool, getting a little sun and reading a good book!  Ahhhh, so relaxing!!

I don't do boyish cards very often so I decided to let my 3 year old son choose an image to make a card for Daddy. This is digi stamp is To The Moon from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps. Isn't this little guy and his pup adorable? My son calls him Astro Boy!! :)

I knew right away that I didn't want to use blue, yellow or red cardstock, that was just too expected on a spaceship card.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on a shimmery ivory cardstock for the moon and used pop up dots on the actual image to give it dimension. And my favorite part is that is got to use a few of the little star brads that I've had for oh say 5 years or more!! :) I crinkled up a tiny piece of scrap yellow vellum to create the flame and then cut it up. I then used an orange Copic marker to make a few stray marks on the vellum and I just couldn't help myself...I also applied a touch of Shimmerz to it.  Glossy Accents on their helmets and rocket window and a white gel pen to create some stars.  Lots of cute touches but still perfect for a guy.

For the first time ever, I also finished the inside of the card.

This would make a PERFECT Father's Day card!!!
