Happy Father's Day

Wow, it's been a hot minute since I posted a card. I really need to stop playing outside so much and get back to cardmaking! Today's card was created for the latest Tuesday Throwdown card challenge. 

To create this fun and easy card I started by layering some basic black cardstock onto my white A2 card base. I then cut down some shaped pieces of dark red cardstock to create a shirt bracket, collar, and breast pocked and backed each of those pieces with more of the black cardstock. I cut down a piece of plaid patterned paper from the Pink & Main Beach Bum 6x6 paper pad and added that a border of more black cardstock. I added all of those elements onto the card base to create a shirt. To finish my card I die cut some buttons using a MFT button die and more of the black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Happy Father's Day stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink. To finish my card I added some black dashed lines around all of the elements to create a threaded seam. I will be sending this to my dad for Father's Day next week. Thank you for stopping off at my blog today and if you like my card be sure to leave a comment. I read and appreciate them all!

Never Stop Looking Up

My card today was created for the latest Tuesday Throwdown challenge. This week's challenge is "anything goes." I have a dear friend who lets me come raid her craft room and borrow stamps every month and this month I borrowed her Unity Stamp Company KOTM Open Sky, Big Ocean. I stamped that gorgeous moon and the coordinating sentiment onto some Canson cold pressed watercolor paper using Versamark ink and Recollections detail embossing powder in snow white. I heat embossed the image using my heat tool and then colored the image using my Tim Holtz distress inks and a watercolor brush. Once the image was dry I cut it down into a panel using a wonky stitched edge rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I popped the panel up off of my white card base using fun foam from Hobby Lobby and then added a sweet little wooden embellishment star from American Crafts and a smattering of silver star sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I love how this card turned out! Thank you for visiting my blog and if you like my card be sure to leave a kind word. I appreciate them all!

Confetti

Today's card was created for the latest Tuesday Throwdown card challenge. I created this card by layering some basic black cardstock from Stampin' UP onto my white card base. I then layered a piece of graphic patterned paper from the 7 Gypsies Postale 8x8 paper pad on top. I took a piece of 110 lb white cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment from Unity Stamp Company's Confetti Kindness using Versamark ink and Recollection embossing powder in snow. I inked the entire panel using Tim Holtz distress ink in picked raspberry. To finish this fun and simple card off I popped the panel up off of the card using a piece of fun foam and added some Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins in the 6mm and 4mm sizes. So fun, right?
