Your Time of Retirement~

Hello Krafters!
It’s Krafthead here to share another quick project. I have to admit, I struggle with masculine cards. However, the Bo Bunny Timepiece Collection gives me great inspiration! I LOVE this collection. My FIL recently retired and I felt this was the perfect paper for the occasion.
The card base is Paper Trey Ink Kraft cardstock. On the cardstock, I used the stamp from the Timepiece Collection even though there was a design already on the paper. I used the same stamped image and cut it out using the labels 18 Nestabilities Die. To change the color of the die cut piece, I used my bronze homemade glimmer mist.  I also stamped on an extra piece of Kraft cardstock.
I distressed the edges of the pattern paper and Kraft cardstock with the Zutter Distress-it-All and then inked it with Walnut stain. I added white and brown brads to the corners, timepiece and die cut piece. For a little texture, I wrapped some tan embossing floss. To finish the front, I did some faux stitching around the base and middle.
For interest in the inside, I stamped the image in two corners as I did on the outside.  I cut my sentiment area with the labels 18 die. I used a piece of scrap pattern paper as well. That’s all folks J
Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

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!
