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!

Pocket Gift Cards for Father’s Day

By on June 15, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to share with you my first set of cards for The Hedgehog Hollow! When I opened this month’s box, I was delighted to see a pocket stamp AND die…and I was immediately drawn to creating a GIFT CARD pocket for Father’s Day.

If you haven’t seen what is included in this June 2018 Hedgehog Hollow box, click here to see my unboxing video!

The first card is a more formal card, with a white shirt and handkerchief sticking out of the pocket. I used the papers included in the box for the handkerchief! My dad LOVES chocolate so a gift card to See’s Candies was just the thing! A gift card fits perfectly inside the pocket.

The “buttons” are punched out of the same paper to match the handkerchief. And that BEAUTIFUL “dad” die is just the right size for a card. I used the embossing powder included (when you are a regular subscriber to the box) to create a metallic die cut. I love this technique.

Here you can see that beautiful color of the embossing powder!

Of course I had to create a separate card using the DENIM stamp that is included. I used Distress Oxide ink in “Faded Jeans” (isn’t that just the perfect name for this color and project?!) to ink up the panel and then I stamped over it using the same color.

On this card I used some copper eyelets to add to that pocket. So easy and adds the real look of jeans, doesn’t it?

I created a video for you to see the process below, or watch on YouTube:
