The Best Dad in the World!

Here is the card that I made for my kids to give to dad for his birthday.  Super simple, quick and easy with no stamping involved, yet it was still a fun card to create.  :)   

Each layer is adhered with dimensional adhesive and the second layer is embossed with PTI's Linen and Canvas impression plate.  The sentiment is from The Guy Stack collection from DCWV.  

I will enter this card into this week's The Paper Players challenge, using the middle row across.

Happy Birthday!

It's my husband's birthday!!!  Happy Birthday Honey...wishing you many happy returns of the day!  :) 

It's been a busy summer and I haven't had any time to craft nor view other blogs.  School reopens in a couple of weeks so hopefully I'll have more time then.  Here is the card that I made for my husband's birthday.  

I used PTI's Shutterbug Special die and stamp set.  The camera is stamped twice and then adhered with dimensional adhesive.  I added the brad to the lens of the camera which is also adhered with dimensional adhesive.  

Here is what the card looks like with the insert pushed back into the camera:

Happy Birthday, SYS Day 1

OK, I am not sure how everyone else is doing it but I can hardly find time to craft this summer.  I am completely enjoying my time with the kids so I am not in the least bit complaining!  I am taking the Stretch your Stamps online card class and finally made this card for day 1...we are on day 5 as of today!  

I used the embossed resist technique and then inked the background with distressed ink.

Hope everyone is having an amazing summer, creating lots of memories to cherish for a lifetime! :)

Dude You Rock!

This is the card that I made for my daughter to give to Ajay for his birthday.  My inspiration came from Hero Arts, June 2012 sketches.  Super simple card to make and this sentiment was perfect from a sister to a brother.  He loved it...

Sentiment is from PTI, Signature Greetings stamp set.

It's Time to Celebrate 12!

Happy Birthday Ajay!  Sadly, my babies are no longer babies...where does the time go?

Here is the card that I made for my son's birthday.  I used the same collection from Simple Stories that I used for Father's Day.  Ajay always wants the same things that his dad has, so it was only fitting to make him a similar type card.  He was super happy when he opened this card, even mentioning that it was just like dad's!   

I added twine, stamped the sentiment "It's time to Celebrate", and added the two banners with the number 12 and this card was done!  

Dad UR 1 of-a-Kind!

Here is the card that I made for my kids to give to their dad for Father's Day.  They wanted a card that wasn't too "serious" and that defines who he is.  

I was drawn to this DP from Simple Stories which had the definition of the words Strong, Adventurous and Awesome printed on it.  This truly defines my husband and so half the work was already done for me.  :)

I added magic mesh, twine and a button to the left side and brads to the middle of the stars.  The letter stickers "dad" and "1 of-a-kind" (which is adhered with pop dots) are also from Simple Stories.  

I will enter this card into this week's Retro Sketches challenge #16.  Hope all the dads in your life had a great Father's Day!  :)

It's Your Day!

Here is the card that I made for my dad for Father's Day.  I played along with this week's challenge from Freshly Made Sketches, challenge #39.  I kept this card clean and simple and purposely didn't use a "Father's Day" sentiment.

Sentiment is from PTI, Think Big Favorites #2.
