Happy Father's Day everyone!!
It is officially summer here in CT and the hot weather is upon us. The humidity is low, something that I am thankful for. It will be a low key day here as Charlotte is at work and Chris doesn't really like to make a big deal out of things like birthdays or Father's Day. (Unlike me who wants to be treated like a QUEEN!)
Just popping in with a "live" post today as I had some time yesterday to whip up some quick cards for some challenges.
My first card is a birthday card for the Paper Craft Crew Challenges. It is late, which is a bummer. I thought I had time but decided to watch a movie with Chris last night instead of posting. Oh well.
This was inspired the Paper Craft Crew Sketch #381, the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge WWC276 Anything Goes with a Masculine Twist and Seize the Birthday Challenge-Anything Goes.
I decided to use my new Home Brew Combo stamp and die set by Waffle Flower Crafts to create my card. I was originally making this for my nephew but remembered as I was finished that I he does not drink beer!!! However, I have a ton of people I can send my card to.
I colored in the beer glasses with Copic Markers and did some ink blending with Distress Inks on the beer bottle (Mowed Lawn) and the icon (Mustard Seed and Wild Honey).
I also flicked some Walnut Stain in the background but the icon covered up most of it.
I die cut the stars from silver mirrored cardstock using the Fun-Fetti Fri-dies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.
I am not great at making masculine cards so I am so happy how this turned out!!!
For my second card, I used the Waffle Flower Home Brew Combo stamp and die set, as well as the Be a Panda die set to make my husband a father's day card. My husband LOVES pandas so I had to use it. My daughter gave this to him for Father's Day and wrote the SWEETEST note inside!!
Yes, my panda is holding a beer!! My husband LOVES craft beer and likes to try all different kinds so this was perfect for him!!
The speech bubble is a retired die from Simon Says Stamp.
The background was a scrap from My Mind's Eye that is probably about ten years old!!!
I even decorated the inside a bit. Can you tell that I just LOVE this set? I rarely buy from Waffle Flower but when I do, I LOVE what I create!!
That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope everyone has a FABULOUS day!!!
Try to stay cool!!
This is a double does of fun! Your first design is terrific the way you've layered everything together and colored the glasses of beer. And the second one is so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteWOW Nora, I love them both. Thanks for sharing with us at Watercooler Wednesday.
