Father's Day Cards

Why do I have the hardest time finding masculine looking paper for my paper crafts? After looking through my favorite blog sites, I went to a couple of my favorite scrapbook stores and got some paper and Father's Day stamps. I went to the stores with an open mind and a bunch of ideas. Below are three cards I ended up making with the supplies I got.



Father's Day Card #1





The paper is from My Mind's Eye - Jen Wilson's 29th St. Market Unique Shining Star/Molding Clay. The stamps are from Autumn Leaves - Father's Day by Sandi Krieger. I used the At You spica black pen to outline the star.



Father's Day Card #2





Father's Day Card #3




I used the DCWV assorted cards with the Hero Arts Happy Dad's Day stamp set for both cards. Love the stamp set!

I hope to have some more Father's Day cards completed before the week is up. Right now I am off to do a Copic marker challenge. :)

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Week 51 - A Sketch

This week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge is a great one! Using a sketch template and make something out of it. I was running into a rut on a new design for a card and this challenge was perfect.

It also gave me the opportunity to go out and get the Spellbinders Nestabilities petite oval and oval scallop shapes which I have been dying to get. Here is my entry:

The paper is from the Amuse collection called Madeira Red. I used the Penny Black Bubbly Transparent stamps for the sentiment and image. The critter colors are Copic markers W1 (warm gray), R37 (canine red), and RV13 (tender pink). I also got the new At You Spica pens chocolate and blossom to accent the cork and also used the Spica gold pen. The flowers were from the Making Memories Mixed Blossom set, which I am almost out of!

Thanks for stopping by!
