World's Best Dad-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

Hello, in honor of Father's Day Debra and I decided to create masculine cards using this gorgeous mood board. And we have our crafty friend Michael joining us this month too! Using masculine patterned papers from ki's Vintage Charm 6x6 paper pad and a fun sketch I found on Pinterest I created my card. I stamped the image from Stampin' UP's A Good Man stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored the image using my Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and popped it up on the card using foam tape. I stamped the World's Best sentiment from Verve Stamp's World's Best stamp set using Gina K charcoal brown ink. Using some of the dark brown patterned paper that I used on the background, I die cut the word DAD using a mini My Favorite Things Essential Alphabet die and adhered the letters below the stamped sentiment. I finished off the card by adding some smoky blue sequins from The Ton and some faux stitching around the fishtail banner that I created using a Jillian Vance die. 

For my coffee, I opted for an iced Thai coffee with cream and lime! Now, be sure to head over and see how Deb and Michael were inspired by this month's inspiration photo! 

It's Your Day-Relax Your Way!

 

Today's card was created for the latest AAA cards challenge. I created my card by stamping the focal image from Stampin' UP's Good Man stamp set onto white alcohol-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the image with my Copic markers and fussy cut the image out. Using the Stampin' UP Oceanfront stamp set I created the background using Tim Holtz distress inks in tea dye, antique linen, salvaged patina, salty ocean, and prize ribbon. I stamped the grasses in Memento tuxedo blank ink and the sentiments in Versafine onyx black ink. I popped the focal image up off of the card using foam tape and added some hand drawn seagulls in the background with a Memento dual tip marker. I finished the card up by popping the entire focal panel up off of the card using foam tape.  

Relax Your Way!

Hello, happy Wednesday! I created this card for the latest Less Is More card challenge. I just picked up the Stampin' UP A Good Man stamp set and thought it would be perfect with Father's Day coming up this week and the latest challenge. I stamped the image onto some Copic-friendly cardstock, colored it with my Copic markers, and fussy cut around the image. I die cut a white panel using stackable rectangle dies from Pink & Main and white cardstock. Using strips of 2" blue painter's tape I created the background by running the tape across Stampin' UP's Sahara sand and bashful blue ink pads and transferring it to the cardstock to create ground and sky. Using Versafine onyx black ink I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set directly over the inked background. I popped the focal image up using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals and adhered the panel to some basic black cardstock to finish off this card. I love the way the background turned out on this card!
