Father's Day

Hi crafty friends!
I hope you are having a fabulous Saturday!

Today I am back to share a card that I created using some fabulous stamps and dies that can be found in the
 Dies R Us Store. 

I needed a quick but cute gift card holder for Father's Day so I pulled out some dies and got to work.

I used the Lawn Fawn Fancy Box die and cut out my box from some plaid patterned paper. I cut a piece of white cardstock and used some distress inks to create some grass and a sky. I stamped out some of those adorable moose from the Lawn Fawn Dad + Me and colored them up with my copic markers and used the coordinating Lawn Fawn Dad + Me dies to cut them out. I added my greeting onto some white cardstock and flagged the ends. I popped up my image layer onto my box with some foam tape. Since this will be going to my hubby from my kiddos, one of the moose children needed to be a little girl so I added a little bow.

When you open up the box, I added some more of the plaid paper and cut out a oval from the Lawn Fawn Fancy Box die set and stamped my greeting. I popped it up with some foam tape. This box is the perfect size for a gift card!!

Here is a quick peek (with links) to the products that I used on my card today that can be found in the

Dies R Us store:

King of the Grill

Happy Friday you guys!

Today I am back with another project that showcases some awesome stamps from 

Pink & Main.

This year for Father's Day, we gave my husband a new grill and smoker combo. This is the tag that I made to go onto the grill. It also served as the card, the kids wrote messages to him on the back of the tag. It was really simple to put together. I simply stamped my piggy from the BBQ set onto some copic friendly cardstock and started coloring him in. I paper pieced his apron and wrote DAD onto the pocket. For the grill, I colored it and fussy cut it out so that I could pop it up with some foam adhesive, I added some wink of stella to the flames for a bit of shimmer. I finished it off with some heat embossing for the greeting and some coordinating ribbons.

Terrific Tuesday -- Dad Rocks!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today marks the beginning of a new challenge over at the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog!

The theme for this Terrific Tuesday Challenge is:

Dad Rocks!!

Let's see some projects in honor of all those great dads you may know. 

Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

My daughter is a HUGE Marvel fan so when I asked her what type of card I should make for her to give for Father's Day, her first response was a superhero card. After she looked through my files, she decided this cute little Captain America from SVGCutting files was indeed the image for the card. After he was all assembled, I went looking on pinterest and found this great card sketch from Seize The Sketch #4.  After I found the perfect sketch, putting together the card was so super easy ;) Scrappy Moms Stamps had the perfect greeting to go along with my card as well! This greeting from the Fan-tastic set was so fitting!

Here is a complete look at the fun greetings on the Fan-tastic set:

I can think of so many cards to go along with these greetings!! Can't you?? So fun!!

Use It Tuesday #57---Masculine!

I'm having an online party!! You can read more about it on my post HERE

Hi there!

Happy Tuesday!

Are you guys ready for another great challenge that starts today at 

Use It Tuesday?

Challenge #57---Masculine!

I have the hardest time making masculine cards, so I decided to go ahead and make a extra little gift to give to my hubby on Father's Day.

I found this adorable little tool box by Lori Whitlock in the silhouette online store.

The file is titled 3D Toolbox (design ID #39178).

I cut it out using some Kraft cardstock and inked all my edges before I adhered the box together.

Then I wrapped some patterned cardstock all the way around the toolbox and adhered some hemp cording. The sentiment came from the paper stack and was popped up using some foam adhesive. I filled the toolbox with some candy (it holds a bunch!) and a couple of gift cards and Voila!, a cute little gift that took little time to create but will be so appreciated :)

For my hoarded supplies I used:

1. My patterned paper and my sentiment came from The Guy Stack from DCWV. It has been in my stash for at least 5 months and used for the very first time on this project. 

2. The hemp cording was bought from the dollar tree over a year ago and the package is almost full because I always forget I have it and never think to use it. 

I hope you will stop by the Use It Tuesday blog and join in on the challenge!

Let's see you use up some of those hoarded products :) 

While you are there, don't forget to look at the amazing creations my wonderful DT sisters came up with.

Happy Tuesday!

This week the Joy's Life DT has been showcasing those awesome Joy's Life Stamps in honor of Father's Day.  Today I get to show you what I created for my project :)

Masculine cards are very hard for me. I struggle with them all the time, so I have found what works best for me at this point is keeping it very clean and simple.

I cut my coffee cup out of the Everyday Pop Up Cards Cricut Cartridge at 3". I added a little glossy accents to the stripe on the cup and some little metal studs in each of the corners of the card.

I picked a sentiment from the Father and Son set from Joy's Life.

Voila! Easy Peasy! I told you it was simple ;) haha!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today and seeing my latest creation. I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Wild Card Bandaid and Wild Card Father Cards

Happy Friday! I am really looking forward to the weekend and getting some crafty time in! This Sunday, July 11, there is going to be a all day online crop over at Paper Therapy. Paper Therapy is a new cardmaking/scrapbooking forum and everyone over there is so friendly. We would love it if you could join us, There will be challenges and games throughout the entire day. If you can't join us on Sunday, we would love to have you anytime!


OK, on to the cards. Today's Wild Cards are the Band Aid and Father's cards. The first one I will be showing you is the Band Aid card, #34 in the book. I have to say, I don't know if I care too much for this card. It's cute but I just don't think I would ever really use it. However, I did cut out smaller cards and then cut them in half to make little band aids perfect for embellishment either on a card or a scrapbook page. I used fit to page for the card and cut out everything at 6 1/4" and the little band aids were cut out at 1 3/4".




The second card was the Father card, #35 in the book. I used fit to page and cut out everything at 4 1/2". I think this card is a great base for many other occasions, not just the Father card that is shown. I love the square envelope and the deckled edge on it.




Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!

MPS Challenge

Hi Everyone! Happy Saturday! Below is the card that I made for the challenge over at My Pink Stamper. The challenge was to make a Father's Day Project. I decided to make a card for my Father-In-Law. I used my gypsy to cut out the "rivetsqr" on page 120 of the All Mixed Up cricut cartridge. I welded in DAD in the plaid paper and then cut out a piece of blue 1/4" bigger to go underneath the top layer. I then put some eyelets in the corners and popped up the greeting with some dimensionals.



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I appreciate it! Have a great weekend!
