Friendly Wishes Card

This weekend is Memorial Day so it is a good time for an encouragement card that includes some red, white, and blue.

This card is created with the Maritime Designer Series Paper pack, one of my favorites, and a stamp set that is in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, Friendly Wishes.

I will miss this paper pack, but there is still time to purchase it until June 2nd. I already have an extra pack put away for scrapbook pages.

This card will work for a Father's Day card as well as an encouragement card. You could even put a birthday greeting inside. It is versatile.

I used the circle collection framelits and for the mats I drew around the outside edge of the framelit and cut them out by hand. I used the star framelit set to cut the stars from glimmer papers. The ink is Night of Navy.

I used a Mojo Monday sketch from November 2010. You can check out all their sketches at mojomonday.blogspot.com. They have an archive with 100s of sketches.

Have a blessed day!

Guy Greeting Cards- 2 of 3

Here's my second card that I created with the Guy Greetings stamp set.

I again used paper from the Adventure Bound paper stack that is in the Stampin' Up! Spring Occasions catalog. There's still time to get it...catalog goes through the 2nd of June.

I used brushed silver paper for the star. Naturals Ivory paper to stamp the greeting and man on (Naturals are being retired so stock up now! I love that paper). I used Smoky Slate to stamp the background images and Basic Gray ink for the greeting and man.

The layout is a Mojo Monday sketch. I love having the layout already created and just plugging in the stamps and paper. They have a great archive that goes back to 2010, so lots of sketches to choose from.

Have a blessed day,

Paper Pumpkin Remake #6- Dad Card

Here's the 6th and last remake that I have created so far from the April Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!

For this version of the pocket tag I used the original pocket and covered the front with Designer Series Paper. I used the original tag card that came with the kit and added a banner stamped with the Choose Happiness banner stamp. The 'Dad' is cut out with the Project Life framelit.

If you would like to have some Paper Pumpkin fun, you can get your kits here!

Crazy About You Father's Day Card

Yup, I know it is WAY too early to think about special days during the summer. But, I was pulling out stamps to stamp with that I hadn't used in a while, or not at all, and ended up doing a Father's Day card! I have a new set that is in the Stampin' Up! spring occasions catalog and it is called Crazy About You. It has Many different words and phrases in it that are interchangeable. I also have the Blue Ribbon stamp set that is in the annual catalog and haven't inked it up in awhile, so I decided to use them together. I also pulled out my Stampin' Up! Color Coach and started looking through it for some color combination ideas and decided to use this color combination.

I know it is hard to see in this photo, but I used the Confetti stars border punch to punch a bunch of tiny Silver stars from Silver Glimmer paper and then I scattered them over the card.

I used:
Paper: Pacific Point card stock, Daffodil Delight card stock, Whisper White card stock, Silver glimmer paper
Ink: Old Olive, Pacific Point
Marker: Daffodil Delight
Stamp Sets: Crazy About You, Blue Ribbon
Other: Washi Tape, Confetti Stars border punch

By the Seashore Father's Day Card HSSSC186

Just as I promised, here is another masculine card. I used it for a Father's Day card but it would work great for a birthday or general Thinking of You card.

I used this Hand Stamped Sentiment Sketch Challenge (HSSSC186) but turned it upside down.

 

 

Just as in yesterday's card, I used a piece of sandpaper to embellish this card. It gives it texture and adds the 'feel' of being on a beach (plus many men can relate to sandpaper! *smile*) The Stamp sets I used are By the Seashore and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I would love to have been at the Oregon Coast this weekend. A couple of my friends that did go said that there were orca within sight of the beach. I guess the weather was great too!

I will just have to settle for my beachy cards for now.

I'm just starting to try my hand with alcohol markers. I used them to color the shells. I used watercolor paper on which to stamp and color. I tried the Whisper White card stock first, which is recommended, but think I will continue to use the watercolor paper until I have had some more practice.
I hope you had a great Memorial day weekend!

Wetlands Father's Day Card FMS137

Now that the Memorial Day weekend is all but done, it is time to start thinking about the card/s that you will create for Father's Day. This one is a CAS (Clean and Simple). You can use it for the guy that likes things simple and clean...or maybe you want to create a card that is quick, this works for that too!

I used the Wetland stamp set (©Stampin' Up!). Have you tried using sandpaper in any of your creations? It's a guy thing, so it's perfect for this card. I used it for the strip of 'sand'. I think the sea birds and 'sand' would look good with torn edges too.

 I used the Freshly Made Sketch for this week

I will be sharing another Father's Day card tomorrow. Come back and check it out!
