For the Men in our Lives

Hello again! I’m here to share some fun cards for Dad and Grandpa! These are made with the June 2018 Hedgehog Hollow box (which I believe are now sold out!)

I couldn’t resist using the tissue paper from the box….yes: the tissue paper that all the goodies were wrapped up in! It was the cutest mustache tissue wrap and I just knew it needed to be the card panel background for my grandfather. So, I turned it into this card:

I used Stick It to adhere to the tissue paper and then I smoothed it out with my Teflon bone folder and was able to get all the wrinkles out! That made it so easy to attach to my 110# card base.

My grandfather would really get a kick out of this. But let me explain that mustache in the bottom corner…it is on an ACTION WOBBLE so it moves!! He would laugh and laugh because he really liked the “Groucho Marx” look and I can just see him wobbling that mustache for hours. This is for you, Grandpa!

My second card features the awesome background stamp that looks like a metal tool box…I thought it would look stunning on a kraft background heat embossed with silver.

The silver embossing is just the thing to make it shine! I cut the large “dad” die cut out of blue glitter paper (blue is, in fact, my Dad’s favorite color!) I know that Father’s Day has already passed, but this could make a fun Birthday card or Congratulations card. And the black adds just another masculine touch.

I have really enjoyed making some cards for the men in my life. I hope you have enjoyed these projects, too. And I’m super excited to share the next ideas I have for this box…that’s coming up next week! Until then, I hope you get some crafty time in. 😉

Pocket Gift Cards for Father’s Day

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:
