Dad Day Cards

These are the cards I made for John and Matt.  For John's card I used RG Studio 360's Boho Classic digital stamp set.  I used Stampin' Up's Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the background.  Matthew's card is to him from his dogs.  The stamp set is New Best Friend from MFT Stamps.  After stamping and embossing the little dog image three times, I colored the images to match his dogs. Both cards were appreciated from two card-worthy men!

And as a little something from Matt's chickens, I personalized a plastic egg container that fits 24 eggs using my Scan N Cut and Vinyl.  In a couple of months he will be needing egg storage!   Have a great day and keep cool!

Native Boho

Wednesday evening was Richard Garay's virtual card club class.  The club class kit includes supplies needed to complete  four cards along with the digital stamp set.  (Adhesives are not included.)  This month's digital stamp set from RG Studio 360 is the Native Boho set.  I am posting two of the four cards I made, embellished with a few of Nipper's feathers (saved over the years).  Next week I will post the two cards I created using Richard's color scheme. They, too, are pretty.  Have a great weekend and keep cool and hydrated!

Dad Dragon

With Father's Day being just a couple days away, I wanted to post Nancy's card for Father's Day.  She made this card using My Favorite Things Magical Dragons stamp set.  It is for her son-in-law.  What is so cute is that she made a pink dragon for their girl and blue dragons for their two boys.  Stampin' Up's Brick Wall embossing folder is a great background for the dragons.  Thanks for sharing, Nancy!  Have a great day!

Cheers

Today's card is one that is cute and simple.  After coloring the little drink and flower, I pulled out the dies that I purchased when I bought the set.  And that is when I remembered that this set of dies from My Favorite Things was not the open frame style that almost everyone sells now, including MFT.  The dies are solid so you can't see the image when cutting.  I always had trouble lining up the dies with the stamped image prior to MFT switching over to open dies.  Rather than hope I line up the dies and images for this card correctly, I used the Scan N Cut. The stamp set and dies are MFT's Penguins In Paradise.  The word "cheers" was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed using white embossing powder. The set is adorable and I should use it more.   Now I am wondering if I should add some sequins?   Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!
