A Card for Dad

By on June 27, 2019 in Father's Day, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun card using a floral set to make a masculine card. Yep, you heard that right. You can use florals on your cards for men, too!

Dad, You’re in a league of your own

I used the Flowers from the May 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit (sold out) and paired it with a sentiment and a Dad die from the June 2018 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. This kit was a favorite of mine, packed with dies and stamps for masculine cards…including a “jeans pocket” stamp & die. There are currently only THREE left (at the time of writing this post). Check it out here.

I used the Dad die cut to cut some chipboard and then I heat embossed it three times with Nuvo Copper Blush embossing powder. This is a beautiful coppery metallic color!

I chose a paper from my stash that had both teal and copper and looked a little bit like watercolor. You could also achieve this look yourself with a watercolor wash, but sometimes patterned paper is such an easy way to go!

Then I heat embossed the floral stripe on the bottom of the card using a softer embossing powder in Ranger metallic.

I finished it off with some Nuvo Jewel drops. Such a great card and I think it still looks masculine. Anyway, my Dad DOES like flowers! Lol.

Thanks for stopping by!

“I ruff you” Card

By on June 11, 2013 in Father's Day, Paper Crafting

If you know me at all, you know that I make mostly “girly” gifts, packages, tea parties, cards, etc. I LOVE all things ribbon and lace, pink and curly. So when it comes to making more “manly” things, I have challenges!

My nephew had a birthday recently (he just turned 8), and he came down for a visit. I knew this was my opportunity to make something that he would like. I know that he loves dogs and so I got the most adorable doggie stamp set from Lawn Fawn to try out! Here’s the card I made for Porter:

i-ruff-you

and here’s the inside:

i-ruff-you-inside

I tried some “masking” by cutting out a cloud from white paper and sticking it temporarily on the card front, then I used some distress ink on a cotton ball to rub on the sky color around those clouds. When I removed the cloud masks, I was left with a beautifully calm sky with the clouds left white!

I think this card turned out adorable (and not too girly). What do you think?

So guess who’s going to be using this set to make a nice Father’s Day card?! I think my Dad will smile.
