Father’s Day

I hope all you amazing Dads had an amazing Father’s Day!

This card was made for DH from DS.

The card blank was embossed with Sizzix Textured Impressions A6 embossing folder – Arrows #2 – #659771

The hat, glasses & moustache are from an unbranded die set.

Just in case

 

Another one for the ‘just in case’ box – suitable for those difficult male birthdays.

I embossed a pearly white card blank using a gears embossing folder (from a local shop).

The gears were cut using the Sizzix Thinlits die set Rondeaux (#659706)

Father’s Day

I hope all the wonderful Dad’s had a memorable Father’s day.

As usual, DS asked me to make a card for his Dad – who am I to refuse (lol)

 

The camper van die is by Craft Unlimited, the tag is a Sizzix die (sorry, can’t remember the number) and the “Dad” was cut using a Joy! Crafts die – alphabet & numbers 6002/0139.  The grass was made using herb scissors (multi bladed scissors meant to easily chop herbs but never worked for me).

Father’s Day

I have been waiting to try my new stamp and embossing folders.  For a first attempt, I was pleased with the result.  The folder used was Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing & Stamp Set, Postage & Frame 657857

I also wanted to play with my new die set.  The card was embossed using my Sizzix Textured Impressions embossing (& stamp) set Flourish 658280 but instead of using the stamp, I swiped the embossing with a sepia stamp pad.   The postage stamp was cut using my Sizzix Framelits with stamp set – Postage stamp 658295, but instead of using the stamp I generated the paw prints on the computer and coloured the background with Copics.

Father’s Day

Last Fathers’s Day saw me stumped for inspiration – it shouldn’t have been a problem:  I had new papers to play around with; various stamps & techniques to use but nothing seemed to inspire me.  After a rather tiresome shopping trip with DH to buy new shirts, it dawned on me that I would make shirts for the cards this year. 

The green one was for my FIL and the pink for DH

Father’s Day

A belated Happy Father’s Day for yesterday.  DH had a lovely day – a cd from DS, another cd from our 2 cats and his favourite meal in the evening.

I made 2 cards for DH: 1 from DS and one from the cats (I know, how sad am I!).  I also made a card for my FIL.

DS wanted his card to incorporate a cupcake (mainly due to my recent bakes!)

I made this card from the girls – I based it on an eye test chart.

This one was for my FIL.  He is a keen gardener, so I thought it would be nice to make a card with a deckchair in the garden (relaxing on Father Day sort of thing).  I even included a miniature newspaper.

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day! (Sorry it’s a day late!!)

DH had the Father’s Day he wanted – nice & quiet, doing what he pleased with a healthy dose of football watching thrown in for good measure!

 

As usual, I made cards for DH and my FIL.  I didn’t get around to photographing the card I made for DH but I did manage to get a picture of the other one.

Well, best get on . . .lots to do today before the football starts!

Father´s Day Card for DH (with a twist)

A few weeks ago I asked DS what design he wanted for his Dad´s Father´s Day Card. In typical teenage fashion the answer was " I dunno." With time running out and inspiration having done a disappearing act, I was beginning to panic. Then DH gave me an idea. To make a long story short, DH bought himself some new earphones - he was sooo pleased with them (another of his bargains!), however, when he showed them to us he was just a little miffed at our response. DS said "what do you want pink earphones for" closely followed by my "was the light bad in the shop?" DH protested that the earphones were in fact red (and kept telling us this for the following week). Over the course of time they became "raspberry red" to which our response was raspberries are pink, strawberries are red. From this, his Father´s Day card came to be . . . . . need I say more!



























Until the next time - Happy crafting!Y

Happy Father´s Day

HAPPY FATHER´S DAY!

My creation for my FIL - Made using my new Cuttlebug embossing folders.
