DAD…You’re Awesome–Catered Crop Recipe Swap

Father’s day is coming, which means it’s the perfect time to celebrate the boys and men in our lives. Show us your masculine side with this challenge. Here are a few ideas that Linda has curated in the Pinterest board: Manly Men.

My card today started with a Kraft card stock base, then I stamped up a piece of Grout Gray card stock with Wood Plank Background and Steel Gray ink, cut it out with the large die from Blueprints 15 Die-namics and adhered it to the base. Next I cut a piece of Grout Gray card stock with the wonky panel from Blueprints 15 Die-namics and cut out “DAD” with the new Peek-a-Boo Alphabet Uppercase Die-namics. I added another wonky panel under it and offset a bit, using Steel Gray card stock and popped the two layers up on foam. I stamped the sentiment, from Clearly Sentimental About Fathers, on a Mini Tabs Foursome Die-namics die cut with Steel Gray ink on Kraft card stock and stuck it up under the edge of the wonky panel. To finish it off, I added some wooden dots that match the Kraft card stock. Very manly, I think :)

Another sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Fathers was stamped on the inside with Steel Gray ink.



And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Father’s Day–C4C #189

Hey, there, Crazy fans! It’s time for Crazy 4 Challenges and this week Kristine has challenged us to make a Father’s Day card.

I went very CAS with this one. I’m using the soon to be released MFT Primitive White card stock and first stamped LJD Darling Dots in Sour Apple ink across the paper. I then stamped the sentiment, from Clearly Sentimental About Fathers with Black Licorice ink. Finally, I cut a Die-namics Beautiful Bows from Sour Apple card stock and stamped more LJD Darling Dots with Black Licorice ink and made the bow. I added the Primitive White card stock to a Black Licorice card base and adhered the bow.

Here’s the inside with another strip of dots and another sentiment.

Flourishes May Pre-release Challenge

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I have Flourishes May Pre-release challenge, the Home Sweet Home Challenge. You can get all the details at the Flourishes Blog, but…

FLLCMAY12: Let your creativity shine by being inspired by something in your home - it could be the color scheme of a room, a painting, vase or floral arrangement - the sky is the limit on this Home Sweet Home Challenge! Please take a picture and show the inspiration piece in your post. Entries must be in by May 11th at 5PM EST in order to be in the running for the entire May Release!

Soooo, I used a picture that’s hanging in our home office for my inspiration.

I’m using the lighthouse from A Guiding Light for my Father’s Day card today. First of all, I decided where I was going to put the sentiment, then I stamped the lighthouse image on Classic Ivory card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. After I colored it with these Copic collections…

Water Collection:

Warm Neutrals Collection:

Poppy Collection:

Copper Collection:

New Fields Collection:

… I trimmed it, did some scoring with my Scor Buddy and adhered it to a red mat. Then I tied on a sailor’s knot (tutorial HERE) and popped the whole thing up on foam.

And that’s it!

Now, be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you today...
