The Adventure Begins! – Share Joy Challenge #44

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #44.

I used the sketch (flipped horizontally) to create a CAS celebration card for a boy featuring the Sky High – Rocket set. This card came together quickly.

I heat-embossed a sentiment from Sky High Sentiments on a diagonal strip and adhered it to a panel that was dry-embossed with the Lots of Stars embossing folder. I added the assembled the Sky High – Rocket with foam.

Lawn Fawn Father’s Day

Today, I’m sharing a card created for Father’s Day using the color scheme from colourQ Challenge #346.

I used an older Lawn Fawn set – Dad’s Day.

After stamping the ties in the four ink colors, I added a heat-embossed sentiment, attached to the card panel with foam adhesive. I tried a number of different inks – both dye and pigment – while creating this card! I need to add a light blue pigment ink to my collection and get a reinker for my Fresh Inks navy pad. (My ink collection knows no bounds!)

Supplies: Fresh Inks gray + navy

Best Dad Ever

Today, I’m sharing a CAS Father’s Day card created with a variety of items in my stash.

FathersDayShirt

My youngest son is home this week between college terms, and he folded the origami shirt for me using an online tutorial with some scrapbook paper I’ve had for several years. I added a tie cut with the Penny Black Dapper [#51-049] die cut. (I trimmed the tie a bit and tucked it under the shirt collar.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s And Many More set.

Reverse Confetti June Creative Blog Hop

Welcome! This month’s creative hop started on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you!

I’m sharing a gift/treat packaging idea for Father’s Day created with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

The packaging base was created with Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts to which I added clouds (Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts) and the airplane and propeller from Here We Go Confetti Cuts.

I added a tag die cut with the Folded Tag Confetti Cuts set. For the tag front, I stamped a sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates repeatedly (first and second generation). I cut the stamping out at an angle and added the “DAD” stickers.

Best Mate – Stamp Nation Sketch Challenge

There’s a new sketch challenge over at Stamp Nation and I’m playing along with another nautical card.

Best Mate - Stamp Nation Sketch Challenge

Once I chose my sentiment, from Stampin’ Up’s Hello, Sailor set, the rest of the card was easy to pull together. The paper banners were cut from Carta Bella’s Ahoy patterned paper with MFT Fishtail Flag dies. The anchor was cut with a WPlus9 Design die from brushed silver cardstock. I stamped the MFT woodplank stamp with Hero Arts Soft Brown Shadow Ink on Stampin’ Up Crumb Cake cardstock. This is definitely a sketch I’ll revisit!

Supplies: Stampin’ Up Night of Navy ink; Stampin’ Up Hello, Sailor stamp set
