Father's Day Card + June Bootcamp

Well, it's Wednesday and here I am putting together a Father's Day card.  It will be a little late, but it's better than not sending one at all!

 

Papers: Simon Says Stamp June card kit

Sentiment: letters cut on cricut 3 times, stacked & stamped with Tsukineko Brilliance gold ink

Truck: Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge

 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

OWH June Bootcamp (I used the repetition of color; drawing colors from the pattern piece into the truck, sentiment, and "road")

FCCB #164 - Father's Day

Paper Playtime - Anything Goes

 

My second card for today is for the OWH mid-week throwdown - Things with Wings

:

Sentiment: My Pink Stamper

Owl cut: Lettering Delights

 

Yes, it's a pink owl, but in my imagination, there are pink owls!  Ha ha!

 

Hope you're having a lovely day.

 

 

 



Paper Playtime and Tuesday tutorial

Paper Playtime's latest challenge is to Use a Pun on a card and since I'm dedicating this week to making cards for kids, my latest card fits the bill!  I switched to making the cat from Create a Critter and used the "You're Purrfect" stamp by We R Memory Keepers:

 

I embossed the stamp in black and papers are from my stash.

 

OWH is encouraging us to use Sandy's Interactive Cardmaking Project as inspiration today.  I've watched almost every video, but I stopped after watching the Lighthouse card (CABAB) because Sandy offered a great tip on embossing with dies.  I don't want to give it away - go watch the video! 

 

I made this card using sketch C:

The stamp is from Inkadinkado and I white embossed it, then masked each section with a Post-It note and colored each section with Distress Inks - Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn.  The dots are Liquid Pearls.

 

Check out the ICP for lots of inspiration! 

 



A musical thanks

I needed a thank you card to give to the nice lady who is accompanying my son in an audition and the card fits nicely into two challenges.  Over at the FCCB, their latest challenge to make something musical on a card.  With my musical family, I've really used the Quarter Note cartridge a lot (I think I've cut almost every image on it)! 

 

I cut the piano on page 46 at 2 inches and the phrase "perfectly executed" on page 36 at 1 1/2 inches.  The paper I used is from the Nov 2012 Simon Says Stamp Kit Just a Note and I put a piece of lace tape on the side as well.  Here's my card:

I'm also going to enter this card in Challenge #2 over at Paper Playtime, which is to use some brown.

 

Thanks for looking!
