Fathers Day Card Recipe

I made this card for Fathers Day. It was inspired by a swap I received at a recent training day and has an acetate portion, with the "Happy Fathers Day" message behind it, on the inside of the card.
As I didn't have a fathers day stamp, I printed "Fathers Day" on whisper white cardstock then added the "Happy" image from the "Happy Everything" Stamp Set.

I actually used retired cardstock colours but this card would look great in the following colours:
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy
Stamp Sets: Seeing Spots, Happy Everything, Cheers To You
Other: Acetate, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

For him...

As soon as I got back from convention I realised that I had almost missed my cousin's and my uncle's brithdays, so I had to make some cards at top speed. Having been inspired by some great swaps and by Nicole Tidbold's presentation at convention (she had some fantastic ideas for male cards) I set off to make male cards.

I really wanted to use some DSP but only have 'Urban Garden'. I thought that might be a challange but it didn't turn out to be a problem as the colours and designs were really flexible. I roughed it up a bit by distressing the edges and I'm pretty happy with the way this card turned out. It's super easy and equally good for any age or gender, depending on the papers you choose.

As the Stampin' Up! DSP is on special offer this month I'll definately be investing in more - click on the image to the right and contact me today if you're like to order some too.

Cheers!

This is a little card I made last week for a friend's engagement. I love this set (Cheers To You) - I thought I'd be using the beer mug the most for all those male birthdays but so far it's the champagne flutes that have been out of the box most often! I have to admit the bow's not quite finished (!!) but your get the idea...
