Father's Day Card Share

Hello Krafters!

I am stopping by to share a couple of Father’s Day cards I made for some of the men in my life! Most of the cards took me only a few minutes to complete…yep my 10 minutes or less cards! Hopefully this will be a short post! Enjoy! 

The first card I used a stamp set by Hero Arts (LOL). I am not sure if I like this set yet. I can see a lot of potential for it. I mean, everyone has a phone attached to them! The set can make nice cards for teens or the “technology” lover. One thing I like about the set is the blank speech bubbles. I can add my own words/phrases to them. I don't like the solid phone image though. It took me several times to get the stamp “used” and I had to go over it a few times to make it a solid image. I am happy I used the K.A.S.T.I.! I made the background paper using a few stamps from the set. Since this card was for my brother, I wanted to not go overboard. I added a little Wink of Stella to the phone for a subtle shimmer to the phone without making it “glittery” or girly. 

The second card was inspired by a video I saw a while back on YouTube. Unfortunately, I do not remember who it was. I liked how she used the stripes and she has her sentiment attached to the stripes. The background was made by Copic markers and the Tim Holtz Spritzer. This was the first time I used it after having the thing for well over a year! I can see myself using it again! Any who, I made my “splotches” in three different colors and used those same colors to color the stripes. I stamped “Happy Father’s Day” from a Technique Tuesday sentiment stamp set. I added a little Sakura Gelly Roll Pen. It actually gave the same effect as the Wink of Stella Pens! Very subtle shimmer. Card complete!

The final card I put the Cricut Explore to work. With the exception of “designing” and cutting this card took less than 5 minutes to put together. I made the background using basic shapes in the Design Space. I used square, made it into a rectangle, at 4.25x5.5. I then duplicated the rectangle, resized it to fit into the first rectangle and sliced the image. Once I had a frame, I added the strips and then did the same thing for the circle. I welded the two images together to make the background image. The sentiment is from Wild Card (I believe). After the images were cut, I placed them on the card base and that was that!

So I hope you enjoyed these Father’s Day cards! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Hello Krafters!

Today is the last day of the Father's Day dedication week. I am sharing a VERY simple Father’s Day card I made for DH to give to his dad. When I saw this stamp with the handshake, I thought of my FIL so I had to use it. My father-in-law is as simple as they come! He is not a very sentimental guy at all. I did not want to over embellish or put too much into it. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Hi there Krafters!

I am really trying to use every product that I have at least once. I finally pulled out my Fiskars crimp tool! Here is another simple card for Father’s Day.

For the base, I used Paper Trey Ink Kraft paper. I also used that cardstock in place of ribbon and to mat the stamped image. I used the DCWV Guy Stack for the pattern paper. The patterned paper is matted on DCWV plain cardstock. This card, I wanted to do something out of the norm since I did use my unloved crimp tool LOL. I stamped the diamond pattern with Antique Linen ink on the kraft cardstock. I took Stampin’ Up’s Close to Cocoa to distress the edges of each layer and also used this color to stamp the sentiment. I put faux stitching on all of the kraft pieces. To finish off the card, I added to buttons and floss….

Thanks for looking!

To The Men.....

Hello Krafters!

Father's Day is June 19... Are you ready? This week I want to give honor to all of the wonderful dads, husbands and boyfriends out there.  I have such a wonderful husband! I had him in mind when I made this card. As you may or may not know, we have four daughters. He is great with them and I had to include them on the card.

My husband is easy to please. So I did a pretty simple card. The card is a standard A2 sized card (4.25x5.5"). The base is Papertrey Ink kraft cardstock. I took regular white cardstock, and embossed it with the diamond embossing folder. I then distressed it using the Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink. The patterned paper is from the DCWV Guy stack. I cut the patterned paper with Spellbinders Label 18 Nestabilities along with a piece of white which was also distressed with that same distress ink. I stamped the image and sentiment with Stampin' Up's Creamy Caramel ink. I tied floss around the card and did faux stitching for the finished look. Thanks for looking!
