I have combined a couple of different papers here for this male birthday card ( would work just as well for Fathers day. From the base – Stampin Up cardstock – Not quite navy, the backfground paper and banner – Simple stories Awesome, the tag – stampin up naturals ivory, the denim pocket – october afternoon sasparilla. The pocket was stamped with my kazzazz stamp – large pocket, and then cut out – looks like the real thing doesn’t it? and I added craftworkcards candi and threaded the tag with stampin up bakers twine.This is a great card if you are giving a gift voucher because is fits into the pocket. Someone today was my 50,ooo th visitor – that’s exciting and what keeps me blogging – thank you all so much for continuing to visit! Til tomorrow….

simple stories – a fathers day card
After all those girly butterfly cards it’s time to look at a few male cards. I have put a happy birthday greeting on this one, but it would also work as a fathers day card. the papers are from the Simple stories Awesome range, and I fussy cut around the bike and mounted it with 3d squares. All I added were 3 Craftworkcard candis in the top corner. I distressed and inked the edges, ad that is all there is to this one!I have a couple of orders to complete tonight, so Til tomorrow….
Another fathers day card
I saw a card simialr to this while I was blog hopping, and thought I could repeat it with the supplies i had on hand, and this is what i came up with. I used Stampin Up cardstock – crumbcake,Very vanilla,early espresso and Cherry cobbler and the boat stamp is from Stampin Up the Open Sea stamp set.I used an embossing folder which i can’t recall the brand name of and my circle nestabilities. For around the port hole I dotted platinum liquid pearls, and my stamp pad of choice was stampin up choc chip. Another day spent planning lessons, nearly done now! Til tomorrow…
Male card – Birthday/fathers day
Todays card is a male card suitable for a birthday or fathers day. I used Stampin Up cardstock ( not quite navy), and embossing folder – square lattice, and aKaszazz stamp ( pocket large). I found a scrap of textured brown cardstock for the belt, and stamped the hammer using my Stampin Up totally tools stamp set.I just had to add a couple of brads, and a handmade tag to slide into the pocket and it was finished! The good thing about this card is that you could slide a gift card into the pocket. Today has been spent finalising my books for the end of the financial year, but after tea I will be in the craft room planning out my next vilage lesson. Til tomorrow….
Happy Fathers Day
Here is a Fathers day card which would also suit any Gardeneners in the family. I used Websters pages Farmers market paper ( lovely collection, and I haven’t begun to do it justice yet) and Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie cardstock. last night while I had the house to myself I pulled out all my cardstock scraps and made my colour chart pinboard which Nathan photoed this morning and as soon as he loads the photos onto the computer I will post it. I’m really glad I did it, and I can see it’s going to be invaluable already. Til tomorrow….
Oxford Impressions Nature stamp
This is a different card for fathers day, but I love this stamp set from Oxford Impressions. I stamped it in stampin up chocolate chip, and mounted it on some patterned paper, the brand escapes me at the moment, and the cardstock is Stampin Up baja breeze. I have a couple of projects tonight, one is to finish off the 7 cards I made last night using my new supplies, and I am so pleased with how they came out I’m hoping Nathan can photo them tomorrow so that I can post them! The other project I am going to start tonight is a colour chart. I found an unused pinboard hanging around, and I am going to cut squares out of all my scraps of cardstock and pin them to the board and hang it in front of my craft table. I will then have at a glance all my available colours of cardstock, and I will even be able to move them around to see if the colours match, and maybe even come up with some outstading combinations! This could be a project that takes a little while, but as soon as I have completed it, I will post a photo! Til tomorrow…..
Graphic 45 fathers day card
As its fathers day on Sunday, I thought i had better get back to showing any fathers day cards I have left in the queue!For this one I have used kaisercraft Timeless – script rof the background, and Graphic 45 A proper Gentleman for the image and tag. the cardstock is stampin up – early espresso.Today i was over at paper flourish making up my October lesson, and while there I picked up the most gorgeous laced printed acetate, and some luscious soft satin ribbon. They are sitting on my craft table along with some lace and stick pins, and I have lots of ideas swirling around, so thats the plan for tonight! Til tomorrow….
Another fathers day card
Here is another Fathers day card, using Kaisercraft Hunt and gather 6″paper pad, and a stampin up vintage brad. quick and simple! a late post for me tonight, as its my late finishing day at work, and I probably won’t go into the craft room tonight as I’m a bit tired. Til tomorrow….
Hunt and Gather
As promised, todays card is a male card, I’ve made a Fathers day card, but it would be just as good as a birthday card. the paper and image is from kaisercraft Hunt and gather range, and I added some mesh ribbon, and a button from my late grans button box which I inherited. Great buttons in there! I am inspired to dig out this paper tonight and make some more male themed cards with it. that’s tonight sorted! Til tomorrow….
Sailing ship card
Todays card is another good one for Fathers day. I used Stampin Up cardstock and designer paper, and the ship is a metal plaque I found for a few cents at the market.It looks really effective on this card, and I love the stampin up patterned paper! In a rush today, i have to pop over to paper flourish tonight for some supplies – I need another kaisercraft Lullaby paper pad . I’ve already used 2 of these papds but they are perfect for baby cards, and I have just received an order for 6 baby cards. Til tomorrow….
