Father's Day Cards

Hello peeps, I hope everyone is doing well.  I have been so busy that I didn't even post my mother's day cards for you to see, please accept my apologies on that.  I have some quick Father's day card ideas for you.  I have a hard time with masculine cards as many ladies do, so I could not skip posting these.  One is for my dad and the other is for my daughter to give to my hubby.

This one is obviously for my dad.  The funny thing is that I bought this stamp set from Just for Fun Stamp Company to use in scrapbooking to create titles for pages, but found that some of them work great on cards as well.  With the words dad, father and Grandfather on it, it works great for all of us to send it.  The background stamp is from Hero Arts, love their background stamps!  The little star embellishments are Martha Stewart. The twine of course is from Doodle Bug Design.  Here is the next card:

Similar layout, different stamps.  These stamps are from an Inkadinkado alphabet stamp set that was a gift from a friend.  I then punched them out with a retired Stampin Up punch, I forget what is called, but it is a kind of wonky square shape.  Well, that is it for today.  Have a great father's day!

Until next time..................blessings, Lisa

Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday!

Hello, welcome to Stamp-n-doodle Day! Since we are starting with some new DT ladies and a new posting schedule, please be patient with us if we are not all on the same page yet. Keep watching the company blog for all the details. The challenge this week is to make a masculine card! This one is always a challenge for me as I am sure it is for all of you, especially women. We ladies seem to like to embellish our creations with lots of pretty papers, ribbon, buttons, faux pearls and gems, you know, girly stuff! So, I kept my card extremely simple this week, a little masculine paper, masculine colors, some dry embossing and of course I couldn't help myself I used a few sticky gems (in a masculine color of course). I used the image called "Puddle Jumper", and here is my creation with it:

Don't forget to go visit the Stamp-n-doodle blog, you will find a link on my sidebar. Please join in the challenge and maybe you will win some freebies. Until next time..............blessings, Lisa

A Father's Day card

I won some blog candy recently over on Becca Feeken's blog. I am so proud to call Becca a friend, she's a great person and very talented crafter. Click on her name to visit her blog; you will be amazed at what you will see. One of the things in the blog candy was a set of Just Rite stamp sets. If you have never seen them before, click here. I have a couple of cards on my craft table that I am still working on, but in the mean time, I wanted to show you a card that I made with some of my blog candy.

Now, try to ignore the smudge in the upper left hand corner; my kitty got up onto my craft table and walked on it with her dusty paws. Urgh! I made this card to send to my father on father's day, but my daughter saw it, and begged to give it to my husband instead. Sorry dad, you had to settle for a phone call. Anyways, I made all of the circles including the one the stamped image and it's matting with my Creative Memories Circle Cutting system. I used my two way glue pen from Stampin Up to a couple of them to add the royal blue glitter. The solid circle with glitter is a sticky foam dot, that I simply dipped into the glitter. The other dots were made with different size sponge daubers from Stampin Up and Archiver's. The striped patterned paper is from a bitty stack of Provo Craft paper I had in my stash. The rest of the card stock is from Stampin Up of course. The ink and markers used to stamp with and color are also Stampin Up.

I had a question about how the wavy frames were made on my previous post, so I will throw together a picture tutorial and post that as soon as I get it done. If you have any questions about this card or any other project here on my blog, please feel free to leave me a comment or drop me an email, I will get back to you as soon as I can. Until next time.......Blessings, Lisa
